rocketraider Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I like this little Space Age Mercury but it needs to live somewhere there are no hills! An engine pic sure would be nice. Wonder how tough finding rear bumper would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 It is nice but in its current condition I think the price is a few thousand dollars too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Trucker Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 $10k is pretty steep for a glorified Falcon driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Hepatica Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Old hyperbolic ad copy: 30 mpg. They never got that in the real world, more like 20-22, which was pretty good for the day. Rear bumper is bowed up, probably from a tow truck's slings at some point. Wants a kings ransom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
