This is a 1992 Polo Green Corvette convertible with the LT 1 5.7 l engine, the car has 15,700 miles on it!! This Corvette looks beautiful from the inside out, and is ready to go cruising or take it to car shows. The exterior of the car is a beautiful polo green with the tan convertible top, which looks awesome!  The engine compartment looks like new as does the interior. This car looks like it just drove off the show room floor just recently. It has never been in an accident and is in excellent shape.  This is a one of a kind  Corvette with this few miles and looks great!!! This is a awesome car that you can drive to the car shows and just clean up a little bit before you go. Driven 15,700 miles Automatic transmission Exterior color: Green · Interior color: Tan Fuel type: Gasoline 15.0 MPG city · 23.0 MPG highway · 18.0 MPG combined 3+ owners This vehicle is paid off Clean title

I'm seeing a lot of these one size fits all aluminum radiators in older cars. The main reason is that radiator dedicated shops are going out of business. Done. Aftermarket companies have stepped in with these awkward looking replacements.

The last 3 photos will likely disappear. I just don't have as much time to pull them to my desktop, then from there to the forum. But now anyone with Facebook can view them. I love the car, I love full size 60's convertibles. It was the best time for this genre. The 50's are too dated for me from a reliability and appearance standpoint. There are many 40's to 50's convertibles I love and as soon as I say something about reliability, I am sure to hear about it. But, in the 1960's all of the convenience features like Power steering and brakes became less problematic and eased driveability. AC was still an option, but not always fitted. Big reliable and powerful V8 engines from virtually all manufacturers ensured seamless cruising. And pick your poison. I love this Mercury because it has the squared off styling I generally enjoy, a white vinyl interior that is easy to clean, that V8 power and a true 60's color. Price is too high, but one of 2 things will happen. 1. the price will come down to market levels, which I am not expert but $15,000 seems about right (they made a lot of convertibles in the 60's, don't think just Mercury, think all American manufacturers) or 2. Someone sitting on their nest egg and approaching or past age 70 will say "what the hell" and buy it for asking, taking the payment from their retirement account interest income.

I apologize for not including the link. I was trying a new method of saving the photos so they do not disappear. Marketplace - 1968 Mercury Park Lane | Facebook

Agreed, however, I am not sure I like the "LeBaron" roof applied to the visually shorter 2 door hardtop. Some days I like it, other days I do not. The LeBaron shares the same roof with the semi formal rear window and C Pillar. I prefer LeBarons, especially to Crown 4 door hardtops. Not sure which came 1st, the chicken or the egg, but Cadillac did the same thing with it's 1963-64 Coupe deVille. The roof stamping is shared I believe with Chevrolet. I know the Chevy's had the faux convertible stamping in their roof, so maybe it was the 4 door Chevy. This was reported in Collectable Automobile and attributed to Dave Holls, designer. In any case, I do like the formal LeBaron inspired top on a coupe, but I probably prefer it on a LeBaron.

One of a kind, Mercury Park Lane convertible. Good condition, runs and drives great. Only 69680 miles on original engine and transmission, 390 V8, automatic. It’s a 6 passenger, 2 door, convertible. This is a land yacht, top of the line in 1968, a virtual Time Machine. Call Steve.

My facebook found this car, one ad shows for sale for over a year. I reached out to the seller and he said "just a bunch of lowballers", no serious interest. I have owned a 76 CdV and like them, actually. The interiors are smart, well styled. I think $12,000 buys it, and if all checks out, that is pretty good. Yes you have to like large boats, and gas is expensive.

Hudsy, I would say yes but I would have to do a deep dive on the Imperial On Line Club to know for sure. They didn't have white dashes, and to my knowledge a lot of dashes were ordered with contrasting interior seating. I reached out to the present seller and his response was that it went to a collector in Massachusetts for 2 months, that person decided he wanted a Plymouth Satellite, and then the present seller bought it. "Power windows work well, the a/c has a rebuilt compressor, the a/c works but needs recharged (OK, it does not work*) AM radio lights up but no sound. I have just had the brakes gone through and new belts and hoses. Tires are new." No smoke from a good running engine, shifts well, cruise control inop.

This is a tough one. I do believe that the price is in line. Stored "barn finds" all need mechanical attention, but you can't replace nice paint, body and interior. That is a nice color, isn't it? Wow, deep medium blue and white interior in a convertible Imperial from the Frank Sinatra era??? Wow, fly me to the moon!

It needs repainted, some say no, but there is enough environmental damage to justify an $8,000 paint job. Choose that in a color of your choice, or match it to the gold. Either way, a person would have a nice 2 door hardtop from the mid century modern era of ranch house and fedoras for $16,000 or so.

Yeah John I really love this color. This one has been multi marketed too, not the usual facebook marketplace "drop off" where facebook buries an older ad from possible viewing.

I did not start this thread to bash dealers. 99% of my "saved" cars from facebook marketplace are from the private sector. Many of them are family members placing cars on facebook marketplace and many provide the phone number of the actual owner. These transactions or facebook set ups are fraught with issues. You call the actual family member and they seem confused or can offer little information about the car. Or a wife places the car on facebook marketplace for a husband and both pretty much forget about the ad. I am somewhat guilty of that too. I placed an ad selling my living room chair I use several weeks ago and finally received an inquiry and thought oh yeah, I do have that on facebook. I do not always look for older collector cars on my searches. I would not mind getting a newer Mercedes or similar car. I can't tell you how many times these are offered by dealers. So now I can almost spot a newer Mercedes dealer ad from a mile away, as the saying goes. I ask " Let me guess, you are a dealer and this has a salvage rebuilt title?" Answer: Yes. "Do you have any repair or maintenance history on the car?" "No". I just bought it at auction this way. They buy them to drive around on their dealer plate for awhile looking cool driving an S Class Mercedes. As for Matt's comments regarding getting sued for misinformation and now providing less information (my paraphrasing) this has been my experience. It's a big risk buying a $65,000 old car. All I want are paper records of work done. That helps inform me of what the car has and may need. One of the last cars I sold was a 1990 Buick Reatta convertible. It had a crapload of repair and maintenance documents, which were provided to the next owner, and so on. What's wrong with that? Instead I believe some dealers - even on simple used vehicle trade ins of modern cars and trucks - the 1st thing they do is toss all the saved records. There is now some digital footprint, but Carfaxs are $25 each and dealers don't like you bothering them for past records on line. I would not decribe Matt Harword or Tom Laferriere as "bad" dealers. we just play in different sand boxes. Anyway, this rant was not about dealers but about watching the marketplace from my saved finds. This fellow with the Lincoln, he did drop the price, but there is another Town Coupe very close to me where he is delusional and wants $20,000 after 7 months of crickets. As the old saying goes "it's his car." But then - what is point here? If I really want to sell my living room chair, and I don't, I'll drop the price from time to time. If sellers really want to sell their car, they should price adjust once per month in my opinion. The fishing expeditions drive me nuts. Greed.

The seller messaged me that no one has come to see it, but there has been a lot of inquiries. I'm just not in a place to buy a project or I would.

The seller of the Lincoln and I remained cordial. He did lower the price from time to time. I assume he took an offer in the $11,000 range. But not sure.

Just nobody doing projects anymore so there are more and more folks who see a project car posted and tear it to shreds. It's a different world from when I grew up in the 70's and 80's and garages on Friday nights in summer were lit up with men working on cars while wives played cards in the kitchen.

Yes, but sellers don't care. Pay their price or keep looking.

Yes, looks like blue is the color. It’s just rare to find a complete AMX - or any iconic muscle car - for sale at a reasonable price. I don’t follow AMX pricing but every time I saw one featured in a magazine I would look and decide pricing was too high for me. Seemed like they had a strong following.

Why did everyone keep kicking the can down the road? Sad, this is simply a beautiful Buick that deserves simply to be enjoyed. QUIT selling it! What’s the point?????

I love it but I have a history of loving 77-79 Lincoln’s, Cadillacs and such.

Yes. I’ve owned 2. 1st, this is the color. That Turquoise Blue pops on the 67. 2nd, no need for paint. 3rd, interior issues are manignable . 4th, it runs well and does not look messed with. 5th, extremely fair asking price.

Yes. I wanted you to see this. I love it. But I probably can’t come up with $5500 fast enough to beat the AMX crowd that communicates these finds. Key here is 390 and 4 speed. And black on black. If this was a 68 Chevelle 396 4 speed, it would be $35,000. Like I said, I’d buy it in 5 seconds if I had $5500 in savings. I have $1,000.

Yeah, remember the one I located in Wisconsin about 6 months ago? Much better.
