Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a mostly all original
surviving example of this very rare and limited H.O.R. production
1966 Mercury S-55 2 Door Convertible in it's original 'White' color
paint (Color Code M) with it's original and very striking matching
'White' color (Trim code M6) interior and original factory
specifications and desirable factory options including; C6 Dual
Range 3 Speed Automatic Transmission, 2.80:1 ratio axle, Heater
amp; Defroster, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power convertible
top, Tinted Glass, Dual Exhaust, amp; distinct and unique S55 sport
options of Bucket seats, front console, full carpeting, electric
clock, bright exterior trim, deluxe wheel covers amp; WW tires and
it's original 'Q' code 428 c.i. / 345 bhp 4BBL V8 'Super Marauder"
engine! 1 of only 669 of these legendary S-55 convertible models
built in 1966!The sporty S-55 was an extremely low production
top-of-the-line and limited two year only full size model for
Mercury with only 669 built in 1966 amp; 145 in 1967 and this
particular example is a very rare DSO 84 "Home Office Reserve"
built car. This means that the order originated in the Dearborn
Ford Motor Company corporate headquarters. These cars were either
for executives as their personal company car or went into the
executive motor pool. The cars were usually offered to the dealers
as "program cars"! This particular example 'Triple White' example
has it's original factory correct 'White' color paint with one
recent bare metal professional repaint and with a very nice
original matching all 'White' color bucket seats interior with a
matching 'White' color power soft top. The floor boards, trunk and
all the typical rust-prone areas are completely solid and rust-free
and the car has no signs of any accidents - obviously a mostly
garaged example with all the options including the power soft top
working as they should. Mercury's revived big full size performance
car of 1966 returned after a two year absence and featured 'Torque
Box' construction, i.e. frames individually tuned to minimize noise
and harshness. A standard big block Ford 'Q' code 428 engine was
matched to a heavy duty chassis with a sporty bucket seats
interior. A rare and very desirable high performance rag top car
with few such remaining.This is a rare opportunity to own a great
rare great daily driving and turn key ready example of a very well
preserved and low production 1966 Mercury S-55 428 'Q' code
Convertible!
