Monarch Richelieu Cruiser1 of 167 Produced*** NO RESERVE *** This exceptionally rare Monarch is in need of a full restoration. It is complete with no parts or trim missing as far as I can tell. It is listed on the Mercury Club web site as "very rare" with the total production of Monarchs for 1960 at 4494, with only 167 produced as Richelieu 2 door Cruisers. The listed value restored is $68,000.00 Mechanical: This car has been sitting for over 30 years. The previous owner tells me that he had it turn over with a battery 4 years ago. I have never tried to start it. It will need all the typical work that a car sitting this long requires. Interior: The interior is silver and black, all the chrome trim is in place as are all the dash parts, it will need to be completely redone, but nothing is missing. Body: The floors need to be replaced or repaired in the foot wells, front and rear. The rockers need replacement, the 1/4 panels have some rust but not too bad and are easily repairable. The trunk floor will need patching, the frame is very good, the front end sheet metal is good. The glass is good and the windows roll up and down, the windshield needs to be replaced (I have located a used one locally and if the winning bidder wants to buy it, I will make the arrangements for them). The paint is poor, the hood cable is stuck so I could not get the hood open for more pictures. Shipping and Exporting Length:5.56 mWidth:2.07 mHeight:1.42 mWeight:1929 kg US Buyers: I can help the buyer with the importation paperwork if it sells to a US buyer as I am familiar with the process and I can help with arranging shipping. I can have it shipped to the border at Blaine Washington if you decide to come and pick it up in person. Canadian Buyers: I can put you in touch with an shipper or I can deliver the car at the buyers expense to any point between Calgary and Vancouver Over Seas Buyers: I can arrange an international shipper and customs broker. I have shipped several cars over seas in the past. Note: Getting shipping quotes is time consuming and will only be done for the winning bidder. Payment: Payment by bank to bank wire transfer or cash in person must be made within 5 days of the end of the auction NO EXCEPTIONS. Overall: This car needs a complete restoration but is one of the rarest Mercury Monarchs ever produced. You won't need to spend time trying to locate impossible to find parts as the car is almost 100% complete. The body has rust, but is very restorable. This is likely to be one of only two remaining 1960 Mercury Monarch Richelieu Cruiser Coupes left in the world. The other is red with a black top that was purchased in Saskatchewan Canada and shipped to Oslo Norway in 2012. I recently did a Google search I could not find any, not even a picture of one, except in old factory brochures adds. If its a car you like you will probably never have another chance to buy one. If your looking for an exceptionally rare project that is worth the time and effort then this may be the car for you. I'm reducing the number of cars in my collection, so I have made this an no reserve auction with a low starting bid because I'm serious about selling it. If you do not have the funds or you are not certain about buying it, then please don't bid. Please keep in mind that this is an un-restored car, it can not be driven at this time. It will be sold on a bill of sale. Feel free to call me at 1-(250) 515-1110 or send an email with any questions. Scammers: I have heard it all before don't waste my time or yours
