    Heheh, I traveled around northern Manitoba on the road in a band in one of those, pulling a giant trailer full of equipment. Love that 460.

    I love this car. Wonder if it has pristine leather? Either way, I would love to have it! The 460 is a gas hog but it's such a terrific engine that I don't care. It's a great engine and a great wagon. My kind of wagon. Someone buy it for me!:D
    EDIT:
    DUH! I didn't click on the other link with all the pix! It has leather alright. OK...don't want to be at all negative about this beauty, but...I'm not sure that these cars ever came with tutone leather. Am I wrong about that? And, even though it looks new it does have an auxilary gas tank and a trailer brake on it. Makes me wonder about the miles. Don't get me wrong...this car is a beauty. Only drawback for me is that it has a bench front seat. That would make me think twice about buying it. I really do NOT like bench seats. This car should have a 60/40 IMHO.

    Oh it's gonna be thirsty alright...trust me. I had a 77 Lincoln Continental 4 door that I'm betting weighed more than that wagon. It had the 460 and I loved that engine...LOVED it! It got 9 to 12 mpg tops. But they were awesome miles!

    That upholstery is factory - some kind of upgrade option I believe.
    FYI, the mileage translates to 48,000 miles
    The price translates to approx. $6,625

    I remember alot of fords from that era with 2 tone leather, as a kid in the 70's I hated the look. Years go by and now I really like it

    The seats in that Colony Park are two-tone vinyl. They are, indeed, original.

    The two-tone leather option looks like this:

    The big luxurious one! :)

    Looks like it only lacks cornering lights and maybe the flip up cargo seats unless they are hidden underneath that thick carpeting? :)
