I caught that one earlier today. I wish the pictures were better, but that color looks pretty good on that year Bird.
Yeah it's a rare color. I think that there was an 85 Cougar on ebay a few months ago that was sage green. It seems that be it a Bird or Cat the sage green cars that pop up always have V6s and a sandle wood interior.
I saw a Sage Green Lincoln Town Car at the bank the other day...it was in pretty decent shape. Not sure about the Sage leather seats though. :P
wow...not nearly as repulsive as i originally though....
WOW! Even though those ain't the best pics, I gotta admit, I like the way that green looks on these cars.
All I have to say is:
:idhitit:
That's a nice looking car... I wonder how far Kokomo, IN is from me? hmmm, I may have to look it up!
pretty car..
1 hr north of Indy on US 31.....
hmmm, that may be a little too far. thanks, Chuck.
Bah....it's only 4hrs away from you.
You could crash on my couch if you needed to, but really, get up leave early, pick up car and be home by dark.
Only one of my cars (the 84 XR-7) was purchased locally..
-83 Tbird (Columbus, IN)
-80 XR-7 (Harrisburg, PA)
-86 XR4Ti (Chicago,IL)
-88 Scorpio (Dayton, OH)
-80 Zephyr (State College, PA)
and my old 79 Pace Car came from Tulsa, OK
:p
Heh.. I'd probably be scheming a way to get that here if I didn't have both '88s still around. Probably be nagging my woman to talk to her family in the Chicago area to go get it for me until I can find a way to get it from them. :p
(and no, I'm not serious about going to get it, but sorta supporting what Chuck said.. I would like a green car, tho)
Drive the Mark VII up sell it to me drive the bird home. Problem solved. :D
... yeah, that's not bad, but I think the car is in too good of shape for what I had in mind for it. I was looking for a parts car. lol
Thanks for the offer though!
That's not the Mark I'd sell. :p
Fine drive the one you want to get rid of, prefer a 5.0 car, sell it to me drive the bird home. ;)
I have to find something to replace the Cougar, it has holes in it now.
I was just messin' with ya, really.
The other Mark is not driveable at present. I am making arrangements to get my friends over here to help me part it out soon.. we'll probably strip it to the point where we can just cut up the rest and haul the remains off in my truck. Hate to do it to a car that could be someone's project, and doesn't have much rust, (especially compared to many of the northerner cars) but I don't think there's too much interest in the car as it is.
Besides.. part of the deal I'm working on now is that one of my friends gets the '88 T-bird in exchange for helping me part out the '88 LSC.. (when I part it out, I want to do it quickly, not leave it looking like a half-eaten Thanksgiving turkey carcass for the next six months) and that'll become his project car. Might even let him have the HO out of it cheaply, when he's ready to deal with the SO in the Bird. (he'll be able to leave the Bird here to work on it for awhile) This way I get some spare parts to store out in the shed, he gets a project car, I might get a few bucks from parts I sell off, (which can then be put back into the other cars, if I so choose) and I solve the issue of what to do with both '88s.
These plans are not yet set in stone.. so if someone comes along with a better idea, I might go for it. But at least I have some idea of how things will go, for a change. :p
I think I've become too much of a fan of these cars now.. I've had a really hard time with the idea of cutting one up and getting rid of another.. it's clouding my judgement. I also have a hard time looking away any time one of these auctions gets posted. I've never had to deal with this kind of situation. (probably why I seem like such an idiot about it sometimes, esp. to those of you who have some experience knowing when to say when and parting one out or getting rid of it) I've usually just had one car.
EDIT: If you really want to get back into a Mark so bad, and still have your parts cars, figure something out. :p I'm not gonna ask an arm and a leg for someone to come take this Mark.. especially not if it gets it back to a driveable car again.
First I understand that I realy didn't think you would drive all the way up here. But if you wanted to I would have bought the car.
Second only one car. I own 7 right now and only 4 of them run. I have to give a big thank you to my parents for that because 5 of them are parked at there house.
Ok, I done with the thread hijack.
