That was a dealer job? I've seen quite a few cars like that, with the base door cards + the 60's style gang switches. I always thought that was fact-ree...

It is something I am looking for when I do my searches.

**87gtVIC** · 05-06-2022, 02:57 PM

I have one in my car. They are cool if you can get one for a reasonable price!...and use cassettes.

maybe available both as a dealer up-fit and factory with the same switches? Dunno, it just looks very much like an afterthought.

**DerekTheGreat** · 05-13-2022, 07:54 AM

I dunno either, I think they looks cool though.

Even Dodge guys know about the Panther platform.. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...ok_story_share

Whats cool is the vintage sunpro digital gauge pack that was fitted in place of the drivers side dash vent.

More about that:

Havent seen one of these around for AGES.

**Tiggie** · 05-20-2022, 08:20 PM

Missed the gauges. That's a nice setup for the space.

**slack** · 05-21-2022, 01:39 AM

Yeah those gauges look really nice there. Definitely one of the cleaner locations I've seen on these cars.

Cropped from eBay listing:

**87gtVIC** · 05-21-2022, 05:48 PM

When I see something done cleanly like that I like to imagine that the car has lived a good life while under that persons watch.

I think this one is for no strips. Buyer needs to verify with Ford.

**87gtVIC** · 05-27-2022, 01:45 PM

This is a good looking ride.

**Grand1** · 05-27-2022, 03:09 PM

Indeed, more than solid. Decent price considering da market only 40 mins from me....must stop myself.

**87gtVIC** · 05-27-2022, 04:14 PM

I thought so too. That white just pops so nicely and looks so good on the sharp lines of the mercury.

**Arquemann** · 05-27-2022, 04:19 PM

Hehe, just like mine outside. That grey leather interior is pretty, but I do like my red plush even more

Price is about the same I paid for mine, except mine was a total turd.

**Grand1** · 05-28-2022, 07:33 AM

Placed a bid, one of the advantages of not being married anymore. We shall see.
