1966 Mercury Colony Park

All original Colony Park with 410 motor. Seems to be a really nice car and I have been considering it but not sure of a fair price. Clearly the 18k is high.

The condition looks very good, and that goes a long way. The price is a bit high, especially given no power windows, etc. Still, taking a reasonable car and making it this nice is a lot more cash than the asking price on this one.

 

That's a great wagon. Price seems too high but I'm still living in the 50's!
I can live without all that power crap. Less things to worry about not working.
What amazes me on cars at these prices is little things like AC not working and only needs recharged. So recharge it. I'll bet it won't stay recharged.

 

Hit the nail on the head!

original!

I'm actually the owner of this wagon. I've owned the car for almost 30 years as the second owner. To reply to one post-- I know the A/C will not hold a charge. I was not trying to imply it would, but simply let folks know that the compressor was still functional and all parts in tact.

This is not a car that has been restored-- what you see here is a true survivor-- not perfect, but all original (including interior) and no rust. Because of it's originality it was appraised for insurance at $23. If someone would like to propose a "fair" price for such a car I would welcome the feedback.

Welcome to the forum!

I personally considered this wagon but decided to pursue the wagon that started my quest. The owner was extremely helpful and provided me with many detailed pictures. In addition, he even took it to his local shop to do his annual fluid change and encouraged me to speak to the technician of the shop. Everything that he shared with me was confirmed in the high resolutions pictures. Feel free to email me direct and I will be happy to share any pictures provided by the owner of the Colony Park.

 

Well I for one just drooled when I saw this car and personally OMG who cares if the A/C does not work.....would not be a deal killer for me.... none of my A/C blows cold on my wagons.....

But I do wave to say..... why do I need to email you (not seller) for more pics.... post them up, and to the seller...post more pics..... I can't buy it but dam it's one of the nicer eye candy wagons we have seen in some time and deserves more pics .

I'm new to this site, so not sure what the limits are, but I will attempt to post more photos. Anyone interested is welcome to contact me at: dr.patrick.e.mcdaniel@gmail.com

 

Thanks for posting the additional information, Patrick. It's certainly a beautiful wagon. The fact that it is 'all original', even if some aspects need a bit of work, is a plus in my book.

As to what's a fair value? Whatever you agree to sell it for. What's the market value? You might be a bit high, but not a lot.
