Mercury Messenger For Sale Reply #16 – August 09, 2010, 11:09:05 PM THAT is what we need from Lincoln. No doubt MK9 is just shorthand for MARK IX:DAlthough I gotta say that doesn't even look like areal car. In the pix it really looks like a chop! Quote Selected
Mercury Messenger For Sale Reply #17 – August 09, 2010, 11:29:31 PM Quote from: Scott D;331318I bet you'd park it next to this in the garage Pfft - I'm not sure how much would swap over but I'd do my best to somehow make such a thing streetable. If I had $150k for a car, it'd be easy to get someone to drop it all into a production chassis. That's what the retro Thunderbird should have been from the beginning...as with many of the cars here. I don't understand what makes manufacturers make something versus not - many concept cars would sell very well just because of their looks. Yes the MK9 is beautiful also. Most coupes look better than any 4 doors on the road :p Quote Selected
Mercury Messenger For Sale Reply #18 – August 16, 2010, 02:43:30 PM Messenger sold for $52K:http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/13/ford-sells-concept-cars-for-charity-in-monterey/QuoteThe sole Mercury to be auctioned was the Messenger of 2003, a concept for a sporty two-seater that could have broken the brand out of its rut of offering slightly modified versions of Ford models. The Messenger was said to convey “new design DNA” for Mercury; RM’s catalog called it a “sleek, stillborn sports coupe” and “a Mercury that might have been.” It sold for $52,250. Quote Selected

Mercury Messenger For Sale Reply #21 – August 16, 2010, 05:11:30 PM If it was anything like most "styling exercise" concepts I've seen, it was just a plastic, fiberglass, or mud body draped over a wooden frame. A neat piece of Mercury history (or, more accurately, "could have been" a piece of Mercury history), but at the end of the day it's a $52k paperweight. A very attractive paperweight, but a paperweight nonetheless. Now, if it actually had a chassis under it it would've been more intertesting... Quote Selected
