Great car! And, once again, what makes it so special to me, at least, is the color combo. It's right in my earth tones wheelhouse and aided by the spectacular interior and Landau roof.

The interior looks almost exactly like that of the 79 Continental I sold about two years ago. Love the colors.

Isn’t that a 72 or 3? I had a 73 Cougar XR7 that was very cool.

Yes, the color. My parents got a new '68 Buick Special with a similar color called Burnished Saddle. Embroider black cloth interior. Gorgeous car, the fanciest we'd ever had.

Great looking car and fabulous interior. But those wheels and tires are a bit mismatched to the T-Bird.

One of the lovely exceptions of the early Malaise era.

I like that color too. I remember a color that Lincoln called Ginger Moondust Metallic. To me it was a K.O. This TB may be wearing that same color.

I was not a fan of long nose T-birds when they first came out, but they have grown on me over the years.
