The Park Lane made its debut in the Mercury showrooms for the 1958 model year, and it filled the bill as a premium offering for the automaker.  The first-generation cars only lasted until 1960, but it was then re-introduced in 1964 for a second run, also as a top-of-the-line model, this time going until the end of ’68.  Up until not long ago, the 1964 Mercury Park Lane Super Marauder for sale here on eBay had been off the road since 1977, but it’s since been refreshed and is now back on the pavement, looking for somebody new to enjoy it.  The car is located in Denver, North Carolina, and the seller is hoping for $41,964 to make it yours.

The seller describes the car as a completely original survivor, although the body has received a new Raven Black color respray, so even though it may not be a total survivor in the truest sense of the word the car certainly still exhibits plenty of originality throughout, and presents well from every angle we can see.  Thankfully, several photos are provided of what the car looked like before the new paint was applied, including this one, and the seller is upfront in stating that the paint still needs a final wet sand and buff to make the finish as good as it can be.  He also mentions that portions of the front and rear bumpers were showing some deterioration of the chrome, and that’s the reason they have been painted flat black.  Purists probably won’t like this, but it is what it is.

Until the seller’s acquisition, the car had been a one-family-owned vehicle, and they decided to put the Mercury into storage back in ’77, so the 300 horsepower Z-Code 390 also recently received some attention.  New items include a water pump, gaskets for the manifold and valve covers, a fuel pump, sending unit, plus a carburetor rebuild.  There’s also been a tune-up and the fluids have been changed, and if a picture is worth a thousand words a video must be worth a thousand pictures, so here’s the motor starting and running.

Inside, the seller states the car is equipped with a Sport Option interior, and things in there are looking well-preserved overall, including the original floor mats.  We get another video showing a walkaround of the car, and even another of the car being driven, the latter of which seems to back up the seller’s claim that the Mercury runs and drives well.  If you find the asking price of nearly $42k a bit optimistic, there’s also the option to submit an offer, so perhaps if you catch the seller on a good day it can be in your garage for less.

We get a plethora of photos from down below, and I’m seeing nothing but what appears to be a solid underside in all of them, although I was a little surprised to find out the car only has a single exhaust pipe.  The seller does mention that there is no rust on this car, which I’m seeing none of, and the mileage is listed as 15,900, though nothing is said about whether or not this is actual.  As good as this Park Lane Super Marauder looks on the bottom, it wouldn’t exactly surprise me, but maybe it has rolled over.  What do you think?
