Had the chance to buy a nice one of these last year for $2000 but passed it up. I’m kicking myself right now!

Muscle cars of 1960, s and 1970′s are the greatest generation of cars.

@DomainDuSac Sounds good to me matey, We should stay in contact just incase a buying opportunity for me comes along (:

syd1v1 says in February 28th 2011 at 7:09 pm    

@DomainDuSac Really, thats really really cheap if you tell me :O
I live in Australia But Im soon to move overseas in Italy and import Mercuries, I am aware that the price of fuel is 10 times as much in the states, but its worth every cent for luxury and the looks :)

DomainDuSac says in February 28th 2011 at 7:09 pm    

@syd1v1 The Mercurys are kind of rare, but I’ve seen decent 2 door big block cars go for $2500. The FE (390,428,etc.) engines are expensive to rebuild though.

How much do the Monterey’s go for, I am interested in buying One of them and a 67 Park Lane!!!

@DomainDuSac Y’know the higher height takes at least 1000 lbs off the car. Good job! any of the big older cars look better up in the air a bit. Not Roller Skate height, but decent height. “Scrape” is for people that don’t actually like their car. IMHO. Good Job!

DomainDuSac says in February 28th 2011 at 9:07 pm    

Exactly. I have an ’85 Camaro which I lowered. Maybe it would have helped to have some big wheels, but I’m running 16″ IROC wheels and the car just looked bloated or something. After awhile I raised it back up with stock IROC springs and it just seems better balanced. More proportional I guess.

Miradart says in February 28th 2011 at 9:16 pm    

My favorite part is that it isn’t down in the weeds. I like the proper higher ride height. It makes the car look lighter too. It’s a full size car for sure, but it makes it look like it’s more nimble. Classy all the way!

i agree,wheels for the time period are best,Im thinking of 15s torque thrust d rims for my 68 marquis,im on cardomain too its lime green.tell me what you think. RARE MERCURY RULE>

i agree too,wheels for the time period are the best,im thinking of old school torque thrust d rims for my 68 marquis,its on cardomain if you would like to check it out,its the lime green marquis from canada. RARE MERCURY CARS RULE.

@DomainDuSac the Four Horsemen tune is called “Hot Rod.” Great tune, and the intro to the song was the lead singer starting his ’67 Camaro and speeding down the road.

Beautiful ride!!!

rhettsamigo2003 says in March 1st 2011 at 2:02 am    

Beautiful fastback body style

MrJohnnyRotten1 says in March 1st 2011 at 2:53 am    

Hey, guy..I’m putting together a ’68 Monterey 2 dr fastback Q code (428 CJ) S55 that was never made by Mercury. I am using a ’65 S55 bucket seat set up but could use 2 ’67 S55 bucket seats to make it look more original. Got any you want to sell? My first Merc. was a ’62 S55. Check out “55 Years of Mercury” by J.Gunnell from Krause publications for more of my restored and sold ’68 Mercs.

Doobie1975 says in March 1st 2011 at 2:54 am    

Nice car, always been a big fan of the big Mercs from the 1960s/1970s, wish they were as popular as the Ford Galaxie/Chevy Impala, I think it’s awesome how you could get the standard 390 motor on the Monterey’s, was the tranny an automatic or a standard shift on the column?

owutever15 says in March 1st 2011 at 3:45 am    

B-H
Looks like the similar ’68 Ford XL SportsRoof…great looking cars…428 motor was optional…

mrdjs7 says in March 1st 2011 at 4:29 am    

Montereys, Park Lanes and Marquis are all the same cars, just different trim levels. The only major difference really was in the Marquis. It had different side windows on them that were shaped differently. Yeah, these cars are rare. My first was a 68 4-Door. Had it 26 years. Had to scrap it as there was no place for me to fix her up and park her at. I was sad for a long time. I have one 2-Door Park Lane though. Need cleaned and tuned. Burgundy paint.

390merc65 says in March 1st 2011 at 4:55 am    

you had one with the paneling?..they are rare ..i think only 1112 were made that way …i just seen one at the all ford carlisle car show ….kool

mrdjs7 says in March 1st 2011 at 5:08 am    

Wow, My first car. I have had I think 4 of them. I still have one 2-door. I had a 2-door with “Yacht Paneling” on the side (Fake Wood Sides). That one was rare. Some jerk hit it and killed it while parked. Seen an S-55 here in Lynnwood, Washington about 6 years ago. Dude that posted this, you got a nice ride. Need to Re-Aim the headlights though.
