Does look nice.

 

I think this is the one that got bought by a " FLIPPER " a couple years ago for $5000

 

390! Up to now all of the miniscule number of these that I've seen online have been 429 cars. I wasn't sure the 390 was really available in these cars. The brochures all say the 429 was standard.

Curious option choices -- power seat(s?), cruise, factory stereo (apparently), but no power side windows. Looks like it might have a non-remote left side mirror.

I was thinking the fancy door trim panels were optional, but it appears they were standard. They're a good deal fancier than what came on the Country Squire. Although there seemed to be some overlap -- Monterey was definitely fancier than Galaxie 500, but not, perhaps, fancier than LTD -- Marquis, including Colony Park was clearly more luxurious on the interior than LTD/Country Squire. I think in later years, the luxury hierarchy between the marques became less obvious, and that this contributed to the demise of Mercury.

This looks like an exceptionally clean car, but if they want to make it worth the asking price, I think they need to fix the electric tailgate window and the cruise control (or verify that it works). I'd love to have this to go with my '70 Country Squire, but it's way out of my price range.
