kingrudy Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Kind of an interesting looking car. Seems like he has most of the issues straightened out. Options like the multi-drive and the 430 will bring the value up for the right buyer IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roysboystoys Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Ad doesn't say if it's a running driving car." Needs TLC" If it drives , he needs to take it somewhere open for better photos. Not a common model for sure. My uncle had a 60 two door , bought new , didn't like it and sold it to my brother. He didn't like it either and passed it on. They found it to be to much of a " Land yacht" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special in this area. The A/C is scarce. Looks like original gold paint on the valve covers, I would look for documentation on the valve job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Cool looking and unusual car. Looks solid and I like the new paint. I couldn't say whether 20K is optimistic or not...I know more about the '61's which, despite being just about as rare, don't seem to command these higher prices. Agree about the photos, especially in this regard: If you have a big 4 dr hardtop, roll all the windows down for at least a few photos. It's an impressive effect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_a Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 My Dad bought one new. He loved how it was a much cleaner design than the 1959 Mercury, which looked like an Italian battleship. He liked the 430, too. The car did its best to destroy a locomotive a year after he got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
