That's more of a barge than a yatch. If it were a wagon I'd be on my way to get now.

So much brown...

Jed, based on the awesome things you post in here it's probably a good thing that I don't live near you

The CB antenna is a nice touch. If my dad had owned that in 1973, he would have put a CB radio in it too.

I'm pretty sure that I would buy that car if it were around here. I'd only own it for about six or eight months, but it would be a lot of fun.

Looks like either the current or a previous owner added a 3rd brake light as well.

It would definitely be fun for a bit.

I wonder if it has the 400, 429 or 460?

Unfortunately, my dad would also have added the third brake light around 1986, just like he did on his '84 Mercury. It would look so out of place on this car that I would have to remove it.

The car, plus the setting, has me thinking of Ricky, Julien, and Bubbles.

After many, many years of subjecting myself to quick handling, stiffly sprung cars I am suddenly very interested in a sofa on wheels like this.

The trailer park setting makes it look like an alter-universe Sunnyvale where '70s Chryslers are replaced with '70s Mercurys.
