Mercury Colony Park Woody (1960)
for sale

Price: US $47,500.00

Description:

Last year of the 1950's hardtop station wagons and widely viewed as the best looking of the Mercury models, this original California car actually spent the younger part of its life at a Catholic parish rectory having been donated to the nuns by the original owner! Now it's worthy of being shown at the Peterson Museum or driving anywhere or both! It could be the classy, comfortable, reliable and vintage woody premier station wagon. It could be the ultimate surfer wagon. It could be the family fun day at the car show blue ribbon robber (and has been), and it could be the heavy-duty vintage camper utilitarian hauler. IT IS ALL OF THESE AND MORE! High end and top drawer with all factory available working options including original Lincoln 430 cubic inch V-8 power plant, A/T, P/S, P/B, P/W, A/C (working and COLD!), PDL, AM/FM and all systems fully functional including cigarette lighter (never used-ashtray never seen cigarettes) and clock (converted to quartz). Very rare and always garaged and excellently maintained and most of all loved. ABSOLUTELY NO EXPENSES SPARED, not to mention always winning top awards at car shows beating the plagues of the all too common '57 Chevys!

Seller's Revised Notes:
The ONLY two minor issues regarding this entire wagon are:
1) Windshield has very minor chip (may be repaired) but glass is also in reproduction with blue band green tint for $499 (Ebay item number 301848004667) plus shipping and installation.
2) Front seat shows minor wear needing upholstery work to be as nice as the rest of the interior. Purchase comes WITH PROVIDED original NOS vinyl yardage to complete seat project.
Recent repairs include new Coker wide whitewall radial tires, brakes, wheel cylinders, power brake booster, carburetor rebuild, transmission service, air-ride rear shocks and most recently a new A/C compressor and modern clutch rebuild, expansion valve, and R12 freon charge for the original optional factory air conditioning climate control system. Fully functioning climate control system. Never wrecked. No rust whatsoever. No fillers. Runs and drives excellent and will take you and your family anywhere in classy complete Lincoln-like comfort and style. Strong as an ox!
I would never buy a car off Ebay unless I had the opportunity to look at it beforehand. You should at least have a car inspection so I welcome you to see the car first hand here in Paso Robles, CA most anytime. At the same time I would never misrepresent, understate or overstate the condition of anything I sell let alone my beloved Mercury wagon so rely on my reputation and feedback here on this forum. Only selling this because I'm aging and want to pass this to a worthy Mercury lover like myself. Ask any question here or call me at the telephone number below. Please leave a message if I fail to answer. Call me with any reasonable offer. Matt 714 851-1106.
Should car sell here on Ebay, a $500 deposit is due within 48 hours via Paypal with full payment due within 7 days. I can arrange to store car for short duration after purchase.
Good Luck!
