    I think it is both cool AND rare and would probably fetch more than a 59 Ford in comparable condition. I LOVE that roofline. If it is decent I'd be all over it.

    Yes,they are really rare! Cause,in 1959 the Chevy,Olds,and Pontiacs had superior designs and looked much better than the Mercurys. So not as many were sold. If you found a 2dr,I would ****** it up!!!!!

    Easily worth more than a '59 Ford....They probably sold 10 Fords for every one Mercury.

    You should only part out wrecked cars. If it's a complete car,regardless of condition,I wouldn't part it it out!!!

    If you get that, how about helping out a local brother looking for parts?? I would be curious to see how much of that would be useable for my wifes 59 wagon. Motor run?

    No, leave to someone else. There is no room ($$$) in it to build it without being at least triple upside down in it. This is one of those cars that if you really want it, you are much better off finding the best one you can afford to buy.

    LOL! :eek: After my last post I remembered seeing your wagon at the Road Rockets Rumble, only I didn'y know if you built it or Mercury did. Pretty sure it's the only one I've ever seen! :cool:

    We weren't asking anything for it b/c it was not for sale. We just had some stripped off parts and trim for the taking. The people that posted online asking for parts were contacted and we got no responses from them. Their loss.
