If you have a tuned exhaust,,you know what ai am talking about. It sounds good. I don!t have a working radio in the car, I paid a grand for the custom exhaust. I listen to it instead.
With a convertible, you pretty much hafta just have nothing worth stealing in it or crackheads might slice your top to steal a pack of smokes. I leave it unlocked.
Even if you hotwire it, good luck shifting gears. But it's the kinda car people don't mess with. Nobody that isn't evil anyway. I told the woman that sold her to me, the car was a "unicorn". It didn't come to me with the original motor, so I felt like the 428 was an upgrade. Makes it pretty custom, but it's a rare factory color. "Tiffany Blue". How many "Tiffany Blue" 1965 Mercury Park Lane convertibles were made? 3008 in all colors. There's like ... This ONE 65 Park Lane code Tiffany Blue.... it's a unicorn. They maybe made two or three total, in this color. This is the only one I know of that exists in the universe. F code, basic 65 Ford powder blue, marketted along with Tiffany,,the jewelry company to make a car with lots of luxury features, like power windows and even under the hood lights ... Mercury, at that time was competing with Caddilac.
That can't be more easilly explained than by looking at the rear end of a 65 full sized Mercury. Looks a lot like the 65 Caddy.
"Face like a Lincoln, ass like a Caddillac."
Think I finally tamed her, and thanks so much for the people,here that helped.
