1964 MERCURY MONTEREY MAURADER---TIME OF PURCHASE -- OCT, 1963 BY MY FATHER ORIGINAL 390 CI TWO BARREL MOTOR, C-6 TRANNY, 9 in REAREND RED UPHOLSTERY WITH WHITE HEADLINER AT PRESENT--HAS SOME OF MY LSC WHEELS ON IT HAS NOT BEEN HACKED ON---- NEEDS: floor pans, new upholstery, running gear needs to be gone through, regular stuff for restoration is what it needs. WANT TO FIND IT A NEW LOVING OWNER MY FATHER, MOTHER AND I WERE RETURNING FROM DINNER OUT AND HE SAW IT SETTING ON THE TOP ROW OF THE NEW CAR HAULER AND MADE A DEAL THAT NIGHT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS 13 YEARS OLD THE CAR IS ORIGINAL, IN 1970 WHILE IN THE AIR FORCE AS A "MISSILE GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SPECIALIST" I REBUILT THE ENGINE, AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD 73K MILES ON IT, NEW RINGS, BEARINGS, HONING, ETC., ALSO PUT NEW SHOCKS, BRAKES, TIRES, TRANNY SEAL, RUBBED THE CAR OUT AND RETURNED IT TO MY FATHER AND MOTHER IN LIKE BRAND NEW CONDITION (they let me use it for about 6 months before I did my S-E-A tour), MY WAY OF SAYING THANKS. MY FATHER QUIT DRIVING IT AROUND 1980 AND I GOT THE PLEASURE OF HAVING IT BACK IN MY LIFE AROUND 2000 WHEN IT WAS PASSED TO ME. I HAVE HAD EVERY INTENTION OF RESTORING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL BEAUTY AND STYLE SINCE THAT TIME. LIFE HOWEVER HAS NOT CO-OPERATED, MY WIFE HAS HAD 30 MAJOR SURGERIES SINCE 1995 AND I HAVE HAD MY SHARE TOO. I HAVE ONLY HAD FOUR SINCE 2000--TOUGH ONES--. I TRULY DO NOT WANT TO PART WITH THE CAR, BUT, AS A PRACTICAL MATTER, I WANT TO SEE IT RESTORED AND APPRECIATED AS MY FAMILY HAS LOVED IT AND APPRECIATED IT. IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL WHEN RESTORED AND A REAL SHOW STOPPER. DON'T SEE MANY OF THESE BEAUTIES.
