1977 Mercury Colony Park

Sort of a shame the seller couldn't take the time nor effort to clean it up some, to show off its beauty.......
As it is, I would say the price might be high, but clean it up, and it might be low.

 

What's this, an epidemic of sanity in pricing?

True, the seller could probably ask $3950 if he had the local high schoolers wash it for him, but all in all, I think the asking price is quite reasonable. For contrast, check out the '63 and three '64 Country Squires on ebay, each a BIN at over $30K. Even if you weren't keen on '70s cars, you'd have to be tempted by the price of this CP.

 

Are we seeing dirt or paint issues? I know it's old enough to now have clear coat unless it was refinished, but I still wonder. The seller says the paint's faded so I expect it needs polished.
