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

 

What engine does it have? 390 maybe? How many miles ?

 

390 6.4 with a 4barrel auto lite carb. same engine they used in the police cars back in the day. the mileage I'm not sure about. it at least went around 2-3 times

 

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?

 

I'm going to repaint it back to the original yellow. and enjoy driving it as well

 

I like it!! Beautiful car!
