Christmas Gift Exchange for a Lincoln Mark IV

[Budnicks]

Fill me in on the green joke. I saw it referenced for the Torino thread too.

Everything in that era seems to be green, is the joke...
give or take





I like/prefer one or other shades of green myself...
not really the green interior, but had a few of them too...

Might need a CDL.

You might get a property tax notice from two different county’s.

A couple of tugs to help bump it into mooring

Some of you may remember in a recent post I purchased myself a 1973 Gran Torino as a Christmas gift to myself. Well the lady backed out of the deal after I initially put the deposit down because she wanted more money for the car. I’ve been working on the replacement gift but didn’t want to prematurely share in case the deal fell through again. The car is paid for and the transport company is picking up in Denver tomorrow, so I think it is safe to share. I gave a sneak peak in the other muscle cars you like thread. I’m not sure I want to be referencing myself to Frank Cannon though.

Will most likely need a 'rotator' to tow it when need be.....

Good thing you're on/near the Chesapeake Bay.

Yeah, plenty of tugs and harbor pilots here.

The front and rear of the car are likely separated only by different Time Zones.

Nah, that would be 72 and earlier. The '73 comes with bow thrusters...

Nice ride @RR Fan Dan . I like it! Plus, you can rent the trunk to a family of 5 and host the high school prom in the back seat.

It needs trim tabs too, to keep the hood down.

Glad to see the seller removed the barnacles from the sides before you purchased it.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to keep the bottom painted though.

I see it has port windows in the rear.
Nice touch. I love the color. Very nice ride.
