Title: 1968 Colony Park
Post by: FirstEliminator on August 01, 2013, 10:24:49 AM
     Hey guys,
     
             This past weekend I just picked up two 1968 Mercury Colony Park wagons.  It was a package of a running car and what was considered a parts car. Well, the parts car is too good to part out. I drove it on the trailer and it doesn't have much rust.

      The parts car is Lime Frost Green with the wood paneling. Options are p/s, p/b, a/c. 390 2v, C-6.

  The main car was Saxony Yellow with wood paneling. The car hs been painted a cream color and the paneling was painted tan. This car has a 428 and C-6.  Options are p/s, p/b, p/w, p/l, p/seat.

   It was a long day of driving to go to the middle of Long Island and back. I drove the yellow car home while my friend trailered the green one.

   The plan was to have "a" station wagon. However, I will not be parting out the green 390 car. So, for a while, I will have two. If I had to choose , I would keep the green car.   I like driving around the yellow 428 car. Not that it has much pep. Either way, it is a cool car.  The 428 car would be worth more to sell, so it would probably be the one to go-----if I have to make a choice.

  hey sixty9cobra, are you in Nesconet or Mamaroneck?

Way cool! Don't see many of those anymore. On my drive home from Lake Geneva today  I saw a really nice '66 all-black 2 door Galaxie fastback coming my way. As he passed, I saw the 428 emblem on the fender....and it brought a big smile.
