Just searching through google and this ad popped up:

1962 Mercury Meteor 4 dr 221 V8 Auto clear title, rare and goregous! - $275 (santa rosa) PostingID: 1567525532

"I am offering for sale my 1962 Mercury Meteor 4 dr sedan. This is a very rare vehicle. There weren't very many of these made. The engine starts, but has a knock. The transmission is good. There is surface rust here and there, but no major bubble rust or holes ANYWHERE...which is nice. The car is 100% complete, all chrome trim and parts are present. Interior is ratty. I can also tell you that most all of the interior and mechanical parts on this car are the same as the '62 Ford Fairlane which would make repairs pretty easy. Please not that I will not transport or ship this vehicle. It is located in Ukiah, California...about 50 minutes north of Santa Rosa on 101. I want $275, which is a steal....but I need the space. Come and get it!

I've just lowered the price of this car to $275. Please buy it and rescue this complete car from being torn apart. If I don't have it sold by the end of the week, I'm going to start selling parts off of it. I really hate to destroy a beautiful, complete, piece of history. That's why I'm basically giving it away."

Let us know man, the suspense is killing me!

Update- This guy had mulitble deals and was going to double his price, I told him cool let me know either way. About a week later I got an email saying it fell through and he would sell me the car for 275 + 75 because he had to pay another month storage. I told him since the car was on a trailer to tow closer to me and I would give him 200, I didnt think I should pay for his deal that went bad. It was worth a try I dont have the room anyway. So the car is still for sale just not for 275.00. Its gonna be a little more. I think he is going to relist it for around 500.00.

Last I heard, he had changed his mind and decided to keep it.

I dont know I emailed him 2 days ago. I hope he keeps it or sells it. it would be ashame if he sent it to the crusher. He was looking for a full size car.
