Looks decent enough in the photos - could be a good entry-level car for somebody who wants to get into the hobby at a low price-point, as long as it is driveable and doesn't have the typical frame rot.

It looks like it will need some work on the quarters, the trunk looks to be leaking (by the look at the trunk pan surface rust and paint touch-up) at the back window so it may or may not need trunk pan work.  Also, the snow tires on it means that it has seen road salt, so a good look-over would be required IMHO.

Hi Bob
I responded to your PM.
Yes, I know of the car and the dealer Uptown Motors ( full line Lincoln, Mercury, Ford )
Knew Phil Caron at Phil's B/A but not well. He had a number of nice original oldies.
That is one nice Mercury and a true low mileage survivor. I know you will treat it with respect and it will serve you well.

The bodywork is hard to discern from the photographs, but I did notice the blue paint on the block and the later model breather (shaped to hook up to a hose), so yeah, it could be anything, probably some later model 305.

The snow tires are a little concerning as it could be a rust bucket if it were consistently driven through the winters.  I'm thinking, though, that Kapuskasing is a little drier than most parts of Ontario, as its further away from large bodies of water, and tends to have a colder climate, so I'm thinking it would be more like Manitoba than southern Ontario... maybe I'm wrong?

It looks like it would be worth a look if somebody wanted a lower priced driver/project, but agreed that it could go either way.  Will probably end up as a parts car someday.
