out there, such as Fords and Chevrolets, but very few of these spectacular Mercurys. This Monterey is listed for sale here on craigslist for $7,500 and is located in Avinger, Texas. This car has the 312 V8, making 290 horsepower in this applicationimage: http://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png
. It also has power steering, power disc brakes, and, unusually, air conditioning. There are some rusty parts around the edges, but as a whole the body seems relatively solid. I’m not sure I’d leave the new custom wheels; I think steel wheels and small caps would be ideal for this car, but that’s me.
