    I gotta say, color aside, that looks much better than the LTD of the same MY.

    The seller takes credit cards, except for American Express.

    Another decent daily driver. But it's sooo green!

    It would look better to break up the green streak with wheels that aren't also green.

    I've always thought the mid-'70s FoMoCo wheel covers left a lot to be desired. Body-color centers. Nah!

    Damn nice Merc, though! You see a lot more Ford LTDs, it seems...I guarantee this is the first Merc coupe of that era that I've seen in many years.

    And, of course, the green cars survive.
