Rare 1963 Mercury Meteor 4 door Custom.  I am second owner of an unmolested vintage classic.  I purchased the car 6 years ago.
Car is in very good condition.  Since I purchased it.  I replaced the floors. scuffed and sealed floor inside and out with SEM Rust Shield and laid Dynomat before returning the original carpet and interior back in the car.  I also installed four 3pt seat belts into the car for the family to be safe.  Front seats are retractable. rear seats are analogue adjustment.  All lights. gauges and switches work.  I put a new fuel tank and sending unit in during renovation.
The Meteor still has it's original 260 engine.  2 years ago I went through the motor replacing all new seals. carb rebuild. electronic ignition and added a mild cam.  The front suspension has been rebuilt and front disc brake conversion completed with a dual master.  Cut coils in the front give it a lowered appearance.  New shocks. The car runs very well and starts every time.  There is a great sounding cherry bomb exhaust. a quiet rumble note with a little rap when you get into the throttle.  Car runs and drives well and will cruise happily on the highway.
This Merc has a beautiful custom paint.  I jammed the car when it was painted. using a contemporary manufacturer pearl blue very close to the original color.  The top is 3 -tone with body color stripes over dark blue metallic and a blue-grey metallic panel.  Only the finest PPG automotive products were used and the car was color sanded so the clear is smooth.  Subtle pinstriping on the hood and deck lid by the One Arm Bandit.  Wheels are stock. sandblasted. base clear with beauty rings and bullet caps.  All new door and trunk seals were used in reassembly.
The car needs nothing. but it is 51 years old!  Drive as is or continue to improve on a good base.

 Had a bidder ask about bodywork - should have included it:

There are steel patch panels behind both front wheels ( about 4" tall) and one side I had to remake inner fender structure.   There are very small steel patches behind both rear wheels. under the stainless trim.   I stripped and coated the inner front fender with the SEM Rust Shield and coated the inner rear fenders with the same where I did repair work. Conventional bodywork over the metalwork. There were a couple small dents in the roof where it seemed obvious stuff got stored on it that have a small amount of filler in them.
