    These are popular so I am posting this CL find. Don't know anything about it and there are no interior pix, but...it's a one owner. Could be a sleeper, could be junk. Looks honest to me, though. From what I can see. Phoenix car that is in San Diego...should be rust free. That's 80% of the battle as far as I'm concerned.

    Here's the new link! Was $3750, now $2850....

    Not me...it's period perfect. I like the old colors on the old cars. This one would depend on the interior color.

    Yeah, the interior looks dark, so I would bet its dark green. I love green on the 70s cars. Ford actually did it again in the early-mid 1990s. My 1995 Lincoln Town Car is dark green with dark greem interior and also used this color on some 1992-96 Ford Taurus.

    I spotted this dark green 1973 Ford Gran Torino Brougham at a local car show th other day.... dark green on dark green. She was a beauty! LIKE BRAND new in and out! As was the green 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham also pictured. :) I love wagons, but I also love the early 70s sedans....

    Yeah, I loved this Gran Torino sedan... I have always loved the 72-74 Gran Torinos, especially when they are brand new like this one. :) I think it had like 18K actual miles on it and was a high optioned car! :yup:

    The Caddy was awesome too! :)
