So, I picked up a 53' Mercury Monterey last night. Pretty excited to finally have a decent start. The P.O. already put in a 351C with a freshly rebuilt 3 speed auto trans. New white walls, New brakes, lines, and a dual cylinder reservoir, New gas tank, fuel pump, radiator, dual Flowmaster exhaust, 12 volt conversion, and a few other odds and ends. Runs, drives, and stops, awesome. Trying to hook up with some other 50's Merc guys in case I need some advice along the way for fixing up what is left. Here's a video of a quick walk around.
