I like this one, It has the right number of pedals.

I can’t help but wonder what stained the drivers seat.

Might have been a would-be purchaser when the seller revealed the asking price.

Given the cheap, crappy material Ford upholstered their low line cars with anything that touched the stuff stained it.

The stain: 

That column 1-2 shift can be challenging when your hand is already full

I've really grown to like the unloved "putty" type colors on cars from this era. I think it started when my wife saw an XKE coupe in that color and said "oh, YUCK!"

 

I said, "Huh?? It's an XKE! " Turns out she mostly disliked the color. I now think those colors are neat, mostly because you don't see them anymore. Also, this car demonstrates that the non-fastback two door Galaxies from '63 were very nice looking cars, too. They tend to be overshadowed by their later sleeker brethren. The fact that this one is very stock looking with dog dishes helps a lot.
