1965 Mercury Monterey

It has been a while since I have been on the forum. Back in August I went to Tennessee to pick up my grandfathers 1965 Mercury Monterey that was in a barn since late 80's and sat their till I came to rescue it. I didn't want to see it sit and rot in to the ground. I have cleaned it up and got it running and drive able and put in a local car show on November 5th and got top 40's with it

That's neat. Those old 390s were almost indestructible. It's great you saved it.

Neat car!

You have plans to restore it? Or just enjoy it as is?
