Has a 2 in tear in roof, crack in pass rear tailight (see pics), rear 1/4 glasses arent working, (probably a switch), Interior is the original blue vinyl, carpet is showing age(fading a little) wear on drivers side of seat, there is a dent on the trunk edge but no paint damage, its hard to see will try and get a picture of it, turn signal switch in column just stopped working.Heater has been bypassed not sure why it was like that when I traded for it. There are very minor wear marks from being driven and parked in the family garage. Its not a perfect car but as you can see its very nice and for the price you can fix the few things mentioned and still be in the car at a great price, find another one this price to compare it to. Overall a great example of a very rare mercury convertible. I found one to compare it to in Hawaii for $25K, This one is know where near that price.

Dog wasnt hit. FOR TRANSPORTING QUOTES CALL TOM @ 817-403-4043 HE'S HONEST AND VERY FAIR I found this on google, this is not my car: 1968 Mercury Park Lane news, pictures, and information:Wood grain-applied trim was used almost exclusively on station wagons. It was rare to see that trim, which was referred to as 'yacht paneling', on a passenger car. This is one of only 15 Mercurys built in 1968 with that trim. The Park Lane series featured a newly-designed instrument panel for 1968 as well as new exterior trim touches that included full-length tire level moldings, wheel well 'lips' and three slanted trim panels on the roof quarter panels. Power was supplied by an overhead valve V-8 that developed 315 horsepower from 390 cubic-inches. Only 1,112 Mercury Park Lane convertibles were built in 1968. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL BIDDERS TO COME AND PERSONALLY INSPECT AND DRIVE (YOU CAN EVEN BRING YOUR OWN MECHANIC). OPINIONS ARE JUST THAT - OPINIONS - WHAT I THINK IS A 10 YOU MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH ME - SO PLEASE COME AND INSPECT - B/C IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION - THE VEHICLE IS YOURS. NOT BEING RUDE, BUT IF YOU ARE A BIDDER THAT IS EXTREMELY PICKY AND CANNOT BE PLEASED OR A WHINER- PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY AUCTION, GET OUT NOW. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS UNDER THE PAINT.
