In 1971 I bought a 66 Mercury Park Lane 4-door HT that was ordered out as a demonstrator when new
with all the available options to include the 428 engine. IF I had kept the car and maintained it over the years,
how valuable would it be today? It was a mechanical nightmare..just like the 66 T-Bird I own now.
I sold the Merc in 72. The kids of the owner totalled it in 74. What if.....?

getting the rarity of these older cars is hard to get some times because a lot of documentation were not kept by ford. I can say this a car with ALL the options is going to be rare no mater what it is so yes the car probably would have been a good one

I emailed Ford Marketing. A young rooky sent back the production figures model by model. However, the
428 engine was not addressed. Jamie is not a gear head. Based on other corporate info, Ford did not
keep track of optiion production...ie the 428 was an option. Tomorrow Jamie will reply.
Mercury built 19,000+ Park Lane 4-door hard tops in 66.

I owned the car for a year back in 1971. It was a high performance beast. It was not designed for all of the
options that Ford hung on it. I replaced it with an ugly 67 Olds 98 with basic luxury options to include
Comfortron. The Olds was far superior to the Mercury. I sold the Mercury to a family that owned it for a owned it for a couple of years. Their teenage son totalled it. I recoverd the owners manual in the bone yard.
I'm too cheap to pay for a production figure. Ford does not have production figures by the engine size.
END OF STORY.
