I picked up a 1967 Mercury Montclair this summer with 32K original miles. Over the winter it is getting a glass-out paint job and all new chrome. The engine is removed for a refresh as well and a HEAVY degrease procedure. A new SAT-MP3 stereo/amp/speakers are going in as well. Enjoy! More pics to follow.

 

Nice find! Looks pretty clean! Keep us posted...

 

Wow, great find, very clean! Is this going to end up as a low n' slow cruiser?

 

Yes. I may go the airbag route as well unless I sell it.

 

Engine block received new rod/main and cam bearings and degrease with a fresh coat of Ford blue paint. The intake will be blasted and painted as well with a new Holley 2-barrel carb found from a friend. Heads getting new valve seals and Ford blue treatment as well. Transmission getting new fluid and filter. No pics yet as I was involved in a serious car accident Jan 30th and have 7 screws in my right ankle and 4 broken ribs. I'll snap some when I am back at my shop full time. UPDATE: COMP upgraded street camshaft ordered.

 

Geez, get well soon! I wish you a speedy recovery. Good news on the work getting down. Keep us posted and yeah, some pics when you can!

 

Kick *** Merc man!

Wow sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you have a speedy full recovery also

I think airbags would be bad *** on that car! What air ride kit would you use?

 

That will be one cool cruiser! The wheel selection will be most important...

The interior is sure in great shape. Plenty of room in the back seat for whatever

Cool car - think about black like Steve McGarret in Hawaii 50.

 

It is for original vinyl. The headliner is missing but getting replaced when the body is back from paint/chome plus the PO gave me the metal rods for it.

 

After going back-and-forth all winter between flat, gloss and all kinds of colors I decided on Trafalgar Blue, a stock color. The next old school car may get a different treatment.

 

Good luck with the project - planning on posting updates and pics along the way?

 

good luck with it, awesome find, and can't wait to see the final product.

 

Once I can walk again on both feet and get around I'll snap photos.

 

Good luck on that recovery.
