Offered here is a lovely, largely original 1960 Mercury Park Lane Cruiser, four-door hardtop. This model and body style are quite rare to begin with, but try to find one with power windows, seats and factory installed air conditioning! In many years of admiring this model, it's only the second air conditioned car I've seen. The car is finished in a metallic, pinkish-brown color that suits the body well. The original interior inside is the same color. At some point along the way some restoration was done to the car, but it came to me with an Ohio title stating acutal miles at just under 26,000. I have done quite a bit of mechanical work to the car since it had been sitting for a number of years, and I sorted out the accessories, including the sometimes troublesome vacuum heat/ac servo unit. It runs well, drives well, and stops well; and all the accessories work, except the factory air. All the windows work, the power seat works, the lights, gauges, etc, all work. The car looks great and would make a very nice local cruise-in/driver car just as it is. Because it is so unusual, it gets more attention than some more expensive cars. It is also very fast, as it is equipped with the 430 V-8 and dual range transmission. You can enjoy this car just as it is or take it to the next level. This is the last year of the original Park Lane model line. It has no major needs, but if I were keeping this car, I would repair a front seal leak in the transmission, a small oil leak from the front timing cover, and a small left exhaust manifold leak. It also needs a right side rocker panel moulding. I have driven the car several hundred miles since I've owned it and found it very dependable with all the sorting I've done. If you are looking for a really unique ride, this Mercury may be what you're looking for. It was my intention to restore this further, but I have bought another car that requires my attention, so I have decided to sell this lovely, unusual Merc. If you have questions, don't hesitate to email me; and, if you'd like to chat, I'll send me number to seriously interested parties. This auction is subject to end any time, so if you want the car, speak up! As with any old car, there is no warranty expressed or implied and I have done my best to describe the car and provide photos.
