    So, if you have a message like jwd's - with nothing on it....does that mean that he's speechless? Maybe the car is so beautiful or the price is so good?

    Things that keep me up at night............

    Agreed.

    It's very rare; my sources show 3507 made.

    BUT:

    It's a Mercury. These usually have sold for less than similar Fords, despite the fact that they are much less common. I don't know if this has changed since Mercury's demise.

    It's the base Mercury wagon. Fancier cars are generally more popular.

    It's a fairly low content car for a medium price make. Especially: no air. Not surprising for the area and the era, but it limits its appeal to today's consumer -- even the lover of late '60s/early '70s wagons.

    Hope there's a lot of haggle room in that asking price.

    It does look like it's in really nice shape.

    I need to buy this, the '70 CP, and then go looking for a '70 "plain" Marquis wagon. But first I need that winning lottery ticket.

    70 Mercury

    With all the exposure you get on Ebay, the true worth of this car should
    come to light. I just don't see it as a $12,000.00 car as it is advertised on
    his craigslist ad. :confused: Just sayin'......

    Wow if he gets that price, I am very happy I snagged my '63 when I did.
