Green is a very singular color for an interior. It is very period specific and
a rare find. There are over many red or black or blue cars with standard
innards, but finding a green car with green inside stamps the car as much more

Chrysler and a few other makers put out green cars with green guts during the
72-75 model years. I find cars at auction that keep meeting that metric. And

Seems like theres a gap here. Lots of trucks listed around $15-17k but not much
below that until you get down to about $6k but then its got a bazillion miles

236,000 miles for $5600.

Auctions are a real gamble, you always have to ask yourself, why is this
car at auction?
One of the main reasons I believe is that these are trade ins that have
issues and the dealer does not want to warrant the vehicle.
A government surplus auction is perhaps a safer bet.
However the safest

I have found four main reasons cars end up at the auctions I attend.
