What’s special about this listing
This beautiful Mercury spent most of its life in a museum in Connecticut per previous owner,. The car has not been modified except for Cadillac wheel covers. I stored it inside for 10 years hoping to do a restoration but life happens. I recently took it out for a drive. It runs fairly well but has a skip. I believe a valve is stuck. The car is a great driver and would require only cosmetic restoration. It has a 3 speed transmission with overdrive. The o/ d in not functional. A spare o/d transmission comes with the car along with a set of cruiser skirts. The bottom is rust free as is the body except for a blister on the trunk lid. It is an exceptional car
