1967 Mercury Park Lane. California black plate. This is the top of the line model that comes with Marauder package and power features including front disc brakes,power windows,seats, side turn signals and Marauder 410 engine. 63,000 original miles. Original owner bought it in Los Angeles where it lived until he parked it to fix rear end. He died shortly thereafter and it sat in garage since 1980. I am the second owner and have gone through the car mechanically. It runs and rides great and has a quick response with a nice mild rumble to it. Interior is original and in great condition. Paint is original and looks better in pictures. Exterior body has lots of little dings and paint scratches through out. From 5' away the paint looks great. Up front you will see all the dings/scratches. Keep in mind this is a 47 year old car so there will be imperfections and flaws to the vehicle. Advertised power was 330HP. The exhaust system i installed woke it up a little. You won't see too many of these cars around.
