Luxury Liner. Looks like a hoot, pretty straight and it's a 2d hardtop. Win! for Big Bonny.

I like it. I wouldn't want that particular one, but it's cool in it's big old car kind of way.

Likely the ignition switch or the starter itself is not real reliable and no one is gonna steal it, so let it idle.

I see a budget classic. No rust, no major body damage, all 4 hub caps and trim rings, vinyl top intact, it's a 2 door. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, cheap to insure, fun to drive. Park at the grocery store - no worries.

^^^ lol..I was going to put 12mpg at first. I can't really remember what they got...gas was so cheap back then that nobody paid attention to mpg.
If it came with the 4bbl carb....prob less yet.

It has STYLE compared to that bland aero/faceless/econobox next to it.

We had a 1966 Colony Park station wagon with a 428 - it averaged 6.8 MPG. At 16 I took my drivers test in that baby. Perfect car for parents with kids - I didn't want to drive it or buy gas for it.
