Just thought I'd pass it along before I do something stupid like start a fleet of these.

Or perhaps this would fit the bill

oh man they're both awesome! I love the green with wood. Might e-mail that guy.

Time to tempt you again Cotton.

Would you have an interest in this?

Located in Md, I know the owner, its a 78, Ford, approaching 200k, but in really nice shape overall. Price is VERY reasonable. Trying to get some more photos from him but if you are interested email me jim at misfittoysracing dot com and I'll get the 2 of you in touch.

My grandfather bought a new '77 Mercury Cougar Villager. My uncle worked for Ford and he loaded it up with just about every conceivable option. It was beautiful in it's day, but it always had cooling issues. I remember a trip to Canada that was cut short as we limped the thing home with a failing water pump. He eventually had the engine replaced under warranty, with my uncle's assistance.

His was metallic brown with the woodgrain. Even then it seemed huge.

I like that one. Any more pics?

Not at the moment, I've asked the seller to get me more but he already has local interest so it may not go anywhere. The thing is almost identical to mine inside, he and I were confusing people on FB by posting up "dualling photos" and noone could tell which car was which.
