New Member 74 Mercury Colony Park

Here is my wagon. Not sure if I can post any pics yet. I have been working on this car for several years and have enjoyed taking it on several trips. it has 41k on it now. I put it on ebay with a mild reserve, and it is almost there. I hope to rescue another wagon in the future. I grew up with them and my kids now love them. I teach Automotive to high school students and most of them have no idea what a wagon is.



I also have a 70 maverick and a 71 Lincoln Mark iii

 

Welcome Marv! Love your Colony Park! Absolutely gorgeous color! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima I think this is the nicest '74 CP I've seen since these were new!

Thanks for the compliment!!

Thanks. I hope to post more pics, I have been busy answering questions form ebayers. There is more pics and info on the listing. I was hoping to sell it local so I still get to see it at shows. I am sure I will be showing this car off for a long time even after it is sold. By the way, for anyone interested, I couldn't find hideaway actuators or parts anywhere. I ended up buying corvette ones for 60 bucks and made some brackets and they work GREAT!!

 

Marv sweet longroof hope you enjoy SWF from Downunder

 

Is there an APP for that?



to SWF...enjoy.

 

Welcome Marvy Mav!

 

Hey Marv. Welcome to the forum. I fell in love with your car last Spring at Carlisle. I chatted with, I think it was your Dad, for a while. It is one beautiful Colony Park. I've got an '87 but always wanted a '73-78. I wish I was in a better financial position; I'd buy your's in a minute. Good luck. I hope it goes to a good home.

 

lol.. perhaps we should make one...

 

Must have been my dad. He usually comes up to Carlisle with me. i only have that spot for the spring show. Not sure what i will have there next spring, im almost done with my Maverick and i got a Mark iii that i picked up this summer that i rescued. Feel free to stop by and visit if you are there again.

 

Welcome Marv!

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Beautiful wagon. Surely going to be some regrets selling that one........
Actually, instead of selling it, I think you need to BUY something to GO WITH IT - like one of these:

 

Hey Krash, good thinking! I may have just what he (doesn't know he) needs!

regret

I already miss it and it is still here. practically giving it away.. I keep telling myself that I can always get another one. i couldn't even find one to compare.lol There was someone interested in it to pull an vintage airstream i just cant keep everything....... i need a darn pole barn. oh yeah and some land to put it on. i live in a development on .3 acre lol:banghead3:

 

Thats a beautiful CP, I would love to have that.
