66 Mercury Monterey roller

Post by Caveman49 »

Saw this on the Vintage Mustang Forum (VMF). For those folks out in the California area, sure a lot of good parts for someone who happens to be into that model.

Turnpike cruiser! Looks really complete, toss in a drivetrain and cruise.

I dig the old Breezeway roofline 👍

Wonder if the back glass rolls down in the '66?
Get a tornado blowing through the cab.

I know a guy locally that has a 64 and it rolls down, I am guessing it still opened in 66. Another local guy has a 57 Mercury with that window and it is called a turnpike cruiser.

Yeah, a drivetrain or one has a treasure trove for parts 😁

Too good of shape to part out. Needs a strong FE and a C6.
This car is a great deal. Just above scrap price.

Would that have been a 428/C6 drive train?
It suffers the fate that I think lots of Mercs have suffered - getting the engine/trans parted out for a Mustang

More than likely, a 390 but were made w/ 410 & 428. Would be interesting to see the data plate.

Heck, Joe. This is in your neck of the woods. Pick it up, dime it out and give it to your wife :mrgreen:

Button-down polyester Hawaiian shirt and a few gold chain necklaces, maybe a fedora :lol:
Knew some old guys like that in the late '60s but they drove Buick Rivieras. :roll:
