Nice. Mine was a four door. Built like a tank. My mom handed it down when she finally got a new car.

Thanks!

Now a days cars have as much personality as a refrigerator. Maybe less.

I have wood.

Automotive wood.

[wally_bert]

Very much so.

Never cared for MOPAR. But in 1972 I bought an Imperial for $25 (twenty-five), and it in great condition. I bought a 1952 Pontiac Chieftan too for $80. Earl Schieb repainted both.

Compare these works of art to the egg shaped neutered appliances of the 21st century.

1967 Fury III 2 door hardtop was my first car. Yellow, 318 engine.

[Lurker]

Four door, same engine, brown. What a beast.

Thanks!

Not super rare, but in good condition. Would be a fun project car.

Don't know about you, but I can't tell one from the other. Styling-wise, it seems to me there are only two basic choices for autos today. One of those lookalike 2 or 4-door sedans you mention, or one of the all-lookalike SUVs.

Reminds me of that old Twilight Zone episode where a girl is being forced to choose between only two body choices for her state-demanded "makeover".

Below are a few good (embarrassing, to say the least) examples of this near total collapse in automotive styling over the years...

First up, the Ford Mustang (1967 vs 1975)

Next, the Pontiac GTO (1967 vs 2004)

====================================================================================

Dodge Challenger (1971 vs 1981)

1971 Dodge Challenger

====================================================================================

Now prepare yourself!........

1975 Ford Mustang

====================================================================================

2004 Pontiac GTO

====================================================================================

1981 Dodge Challenger

Here is what Lincoln Town Car has been reduced to in recent decades, widely being used as a livery car in cities like New York...

Basically looks like a black taxi cab.

Takes me back. When America was King, and all the world knew it.

Your comment reminded me of this.

[Kickass Conservative]

Only if it was owned by Jon Voight.

[VietVet876]

64 online bids with current bid at $50,100 and only eleven days left to bid. Someone’s gonna have a pricey restoration project. Greater Fool Theory in action.

[Lean-Right]

Was just picking on you. I’ts
nice to see some have a passion
for American steel, no matter
the brand.

[Lean-Right]

Where’s the Gremlin and Pacer?

[ETL]

Lol! They did make cool looking dragsters and funny cars.

However my favorite AMCs are the Javelin and AMX.

[Dr. Sivana]

Thanks for the C and A bodies. Of the lot, I think I’ll take that ‘67 Monaco red hardtop.

[Iscool]

I guess it is too much to ask that the rightful heir(s), if they can be found, get the proceeds?

Assuming the owner of the car owned the property, how can the fella's car be abandoned on his own property???
