    well she is not that old, 1968 mercury monterey convertible. but she is 1 of 1515 that was made so that is pretty cool. I will be doing a lot of fixing up in the next few years and i hope to pick the brains of the old pros here..

    Although your car is not what this forum will consider "HAMB friendly" (pre '64), it is a cool ride:cool: If you are here to seek knowledge from the "old pros", you are in the right place. Mercurys are very cool and desirable cars and there are gallons of people here who are super knowledgeable about them;) Enjoy the HAMB and welcome from Colorado! :) ...robber

    a lot of the late 60 early 70s cars have been shunned for years in certain circles but more and more they are being welcomes in because they are becoming harder to come by and being crushed at an alarming rate due to the price of s**** steel.

    Many big car shows and even the Hot Rod Nationals are allowing in these cars now. In the end it is all about keeping the love of old cars alive and teaching the next generation the same respect..

    thanks for the letting me in

    That might be true, but they don't fit into the traditional period here.
