It was that light blue metallic that faded and peeled but mechanically perfect with only 100k miles. He had taken it to the Mercury dealer twice a year for state inspection and gotten raped but they replaced everything, needed of not. The beast would seat 4 abreast comfortably and more for concert runs. He said $50 and I hemed and hawed while I frantically searched my pockets for cash before he could get away. The day before he turned it over his wife got rearended by a truck by starting off at a light then stopping quick, so he said $25 because the trunk wouldn't open. I wrapped a chain around a pole and yanked the bumper out enough to open the trunk and I was cruisin'. That monster with a 390 two barrel didn't even notice the 350 lbs on the back bumper.
