...SHO?
How about I-H scout?
Firebird? Thunderchicken? Cougar?
If it was a Buick, you paid too much. 
The price point means that it is not a new Hyundai or Chrysler product. Pontiac Bonneville or Gran Prix?
E34?
You guys didn't pay attention to my last hint. It's on the bottom of the first page.
either spirit or pacer...not sure if either were green from the factory though...
ooh ooh wait...tempest a la my cousin Vinny?
Hmmm... AMC.. I'm going to say Jeep, INLINE 6 .... green?? CJ 5... has to be early 70's... I don't remember seeing any green Commache's in my youth.. but then, that was MANY years ago... Do I win? Marc
Eagle?
No winner yet! Somebody will win the Solstice die-cast sooner or later.
Time for another hint, green vinyl interior, and it will be the only one on GRM.
Can't be an Eagle, then.
AMC Gremlin?
rambler?
marlin or hornet
Javelin?
pimped out Commando?
We have a winner! jlaph1 correctly guessed!
I am now the proud owner of a 1973 AMC Hornet! It's a 2-door coupe (same body as the 70-71 Hornet SC/360) with a 232 I-6, 3-speed auto, and lots of neat options. It has electric delay wipers (they're usually vacuum), power brakes, factory A/C, AM Radio, remote driver's mirror, and a vinyl split-bench interior.
It's a light green metallic and the interior is nearly mint! It needs a driver's seat cover to be perfect. It has 63K original miles but it does need a little body work and a paint job. Pics coming soon!
jlaph1, PM me your address.
Oh.. THAT will be a hit at the Porsche Autocross events... Plans? Stealth P71?
On edit.. not too bad looking.. even James Bond apparently had one... Amc Hornet - James Bond edition
Plans? I'm going to polish it up and drive it stock all winter. Then next year it gets my AMC 401 V8 and 5-Speed manual. It's going to be a sleeper drag car. We're talking about bringing it to a ProSolo and pulling the front wheels on the start...
Right now I am basking in the glory that is a 63K mile car, it's the lowest mileage I've ever owned!

Shown above is a Hornet Hatchback/fastback.
I suspect what we are takling about here looks more like this:
Cool purchase and the future plans sound very nice

It's a Coupe like the SC/360's with the nose like Bond's. 73 was a unique year for that nose/tail. It has small bumpers that just need to be tucked in.
OMG!!!! It's so ugly it's beautiful...... 
Spirit?
