deac Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Interesting car. Apparently, from what the seller describes, the original buyer opted for a floor shifted 390ci engine in a luxury grocery getter. Moreover it's a 4 door! The last picture shows great paint and chrome condition. Even though it looks like a great time I am not so sure someone's going to pay 22G's for it; maybe 15 to 17 but not 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63RedBrier Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Wow! What a cool car... Big moredoor with a factory four speed and 390? That has to be a unicorn, no? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The beauty of the optional equipment list available then was an individual could spec-out a new car with odd combination such as a topline Mercury Park Lane Breezeway sedan with a 4-speed transmission and radio delete! Apparently, the driver didn't want to be distracted from the sound of the engine by a radio playing. Mercurys or any car with the wheel lip flares stamped into the surrounding metal should NEVER be fitted with fender skirts! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably added to reduce the rubber and tar accumulation below the quarter panel side moldings. Reminds me of an all original '64 Catalina 4-door sedan I saw a few years ago with a 389 Tri-Power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It would look good with a certified speedometer and chronograph strapped to the dash! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I like these cars and the back windows. My friends brother drove one of these in HS back in the 70's. This one has a great combo, big motor and 4 speed! Interior looks incredible, says original colour paint, have to wonder if it has been repainted? If so, that is a detraction for me. Otherwise great vehicle. Not sure I would spend more than about 15k on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-mman Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Nice car. It has the Correct shifter for a bench seat. It also has a type of knob typically associated with 1962 cars. Likely because that's from when they made the supply of bench seat shifters. The steering wheel is strange. 1964 Parklanes used a multi-plastic two tone wheel with horn buttons. This is a solid rubber type with a horn ring ….. it does have the 25th anniversary logo but it looks more like a 1963 (or base Monterey?) steering wheel.

TexRiv_63 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I have always loved these 63-64 Mercs and Fords, my favorite 4-door is the Ford 500XL with buckets. This is a beautiful original with fairly unique equipment, toss the skirts and drop the price and I would be tempted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No power-robbing power steering wanted by the original purchaser! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Very unusual car. Beautiful Blue paint and all the bells a whistles, but the price is a little high IMO. The four speed trans will not suit the typical buyer of this beautiful Merc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the shoemaker from Queens who ordered my '64 GP. No power steering, no power brakes, HD 3-speed on the column. BUT - AM radio, rear speaker, power antenna and rear window defogger. As they used to say, "Have it your way!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmac Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 This is a car that would have checked every box for me. And I was right in the neighborhood last week. Good thing for my bank account that I missed it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
