This is the car formerly owned by Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton, 61, famous Appalachian moonshiner that was sentenced to 18 months earlier this year and instead took his own life to evade the prison sentence.
The sources call it a "Ford Fairlane" but it's clearly not a Fairlane. I'd guess it's an LTD II, but perhaps it's a Fairmont?

That's a Fairmont. Even the same pathetic green color that two of the three I owned was. They were cheap, fairly easy to work on throw away cars
The LTD was a full sizer, but the LTD II the OP alluded too was built on the same platform as a Fairmont. IIRC, the LTD II had a little different profile, and was a bit fancier with side moldings and such.
Those Fairmonts were the extent of my life's experience with Fords. Truly a low point in my life
Yes, for those that didn't know there was an LTD II in the 80's that wasn't a full size car. I believe the LTD II was based off the fox body 79-93 Mustang.
"Popcorn" called this his "3 jug car" because he paid for it with 3 jugs of moonshine. He even painted it John Deere Green and also painted the rims a matching yellow.
RIP Popcorn
