Looks to be nicely original, oddly faded di-noc, wood trim, torn driver's seat, dents and all. I'd rather have a wagon that shows it's age a bit than one restored to showroom condition. Probably cheaper, too. Any ideas what the lever on the left, below the dash is? Ejector seat controls? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Mercur...ash=item5d72366e39:g:3X8AAOSwq1JZNCun&vxp=mtr
That appears to be a vintage trailer brake controller. Judging from the trailer hitch, I'm guessing they pulled a camper.
I posted this same car here with stock wheels about a month back when an acquaintance was interested in it. It sold quickly. Probably a flipper put it on ebay.
Holy crap - I think it was like $4500-5000 - and by the time the fellow in Seattle called on it - it was gonezo. And he called fairly quickly too..... Same car - same dents on the bottoms of the doors. I gotta admit, it does look pretty bad ass with the Bullitt-type/Torque-thrust type wheels on it....
Professor , its still a great deal at 12k as it would appear for a 65 that clean and not rusty to an Aussie that's great value from Downunder (really hope it ends in Aussie)
I stumbled upon this in my Wagon search as well. I thought it was a nice looking car. When I saw the post today, I did a quick CL search and here it is for $10995. I don't know the pricing well, but I think this should not be a $11K car. https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/d/reduced-1965-mercury-colony/6261743305.html
You got a like for the following comment. Keep them coming: Too bad, FoMoCo didn't have power half-sunroofs cut above where the mother-in-law usually sits. Daddy wagon driver could have pointed to the lever, telling his marital menace it was for the ejector seat. As soon as the menace would get out of line again, all he'd have to do is slide open the roof, to shut her back up.
On eBay once again for $9,995. Wait a bit longer and it might be $8,995. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Mercur...ash=item5d74c19a72:g:WW8AAOSwykpZn5Az&vxp=mtr
On eBay once again, this time for a buy-it-now price of $7,500. Seller took my suggestion and skipped right past $8,995. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Mercur...ash=item5d75c8ffc6:g:gIcAAOSw7RdZwWa6&vxp=mtr
I think with all of the flip-flopping this guy has done on this car, the people with long money are scared off. I know I am, and an acquaintance is also. Should've got off my ass when it was originally on CL.....
