A 1966 Mercury Monterey coupe in its factory-correct colors and the big 390 V8 under the hood is a beautiful thing. And when a turnkey cruiser is so value-pricedand#44; it means someone is about to get an exceptional deal. These Montereys are becoming a rare sight. Sales of the hardtop coupe barely crested over 19K in 1966and#44; and now over half a century laterand#44; the remainders are few. So youll be searching for a while before finding another a complete car like this. The factory-correct Jamaican Yellow is a striking colorand#44; especially with the premium black painted roof that gives this a true hardtop profile. These Mercs were big and blocky like their Lincoln siblingsand#44; so its great to see all that sharply creased sheetmetal looking so good and aligned so well. Best of alland#44; the brightwork is all present to make this coupe truly distinctive. It includes the grilleand#44; wide front bumperand#44; fender trimand#44; and the rear bumper thats so large it makes up half of the back end. Even the factory turbine-style wheel covers are in placeand#44; so yesand#44; this is a real attention getter! Open the door to reveal a highly original and very luxurious black vinyl interior. When you slip into the drivers seatand#44; you get that great feeling of upscale classic style with the thin dual spoke factory steering wheel that gives you a clear view of the bright gauge panel. This one stays faithful to its original driver-oriented layout with full round gauge paneland#44; heater/defrost controlsand#44; and factory AM radio (non-working) all remaining in place. There are even provisions for air conditioning. With seatbelts for six and this level of comfortand#44; you can already imaging how many people will want to go for a cruise in this large hardtop classic. But no matter if youre carrying a crowd of family and friendsand#44; or its just youand#44; this Mercury can handle it with ease. Under the hood is the large and powerful 390 cubic-inch V8 motor. The engine bay looks amazingly authentic with the big blue block and valve covers. The same V8 big block would make a few legendary Mustangsand#44; so it can still move this big hardtop around with authority. But you dont want this for a muscle car. Having a Monterey like this is about reconnecting with a time when dad let you borrow his car for a big dateand#44; or you snuck it out so you and all your friends could have the ultimate Friday night in one car. And if youre too young for thatand#44; heres the perfect machine to make memories like this. Thats because with a three-speed automatic transmissionand#44; power steeringand#44; and a suspension that will keep you floating down the roadand#44; this Mercury is the perfect cruising coupe. Complete with owners manualand#44; this Mercury Monterey is one of those cars you might not have thought about beforeand#44; but now that you see itand#44; youll never forget it. So hurry upand#44; because at this value priceand#44; its going to its new home soon. Call today!!! |
