Thread: A unusual one I bought last year

Tweet

I picked up a 65 Mercury Montclair breezeway sedan that had a 3 speed on the column and overdrive,it also has a/c and delayed wipers. I think it sat since the late 70s and had a fresh and the original 390 had been rebuilt and never fired,next step is exhaust but every saturday this year I have been busy and could not get a estimate on dual exhaust. it needs a solenoid for the o/d and syncronizers for second gear so I picked up a regular 3 speed while the trans gets fixed.

Wow, a survivor! Like a time capsule to show how things were "back then". Pile in the grand kids or a couple of friends for an ice cream down town on Saturday night. Nice!

I agree, that one is surely a survivor. looks to be in very nice shape too.

My dad had a 66 (I think) it had the rear electric window, 390 with auto. It was a really nice road car, loved the 390 so powerful and smooth. Had no idea they made them with a manual trans.

I worked with a guy that had one. earlier year than yours tho'.. I remember the lower A-arms were allowed to pivot to aid in smoothing out the ride.. made for lousy handling! But it rode nice. LOL.
