MERCURY CALLED THESE A 6 PASSENGER COUPE DELUXE OR MOST CALLED IT A CLUB COUPE, BUT EVERYONE CALLS IT THE ICONIC "LEAD SLED MERC". SO HARD TO FIND ONE OF THESE IN THE ORIGINAL RESTORED CONDTION.

This is one heck of a car that is just so iconic in the classic car world! Everyone has told me this car is worth "in this market" $25,000. I have lowered the "Buy It Now" price to that amount. If you are the winning buyer please give it a good home. I purchased this car from an 82 year old man that cared for it dearly, he was just not able to drive it anymore. Thanks again and please give me a call if you have any questions. Dennis Jr.
