New guy in here from Ajo AZ I have a 63 Mercury Monterey 4 door. This was bought brand new by my great grandfather and passed down through the family and I finally got my hands on it. It has 85k original miles on it and is completely original except for wheels and duals, and it will stay MOSTLY original.
Its a cruiser for sure. I need to find some small parts like taillight lenses, breezeway window switch and stuff like that, but haven't had any luck.
i have a breezway window switch. i acutally just posted one on ebay .They are hard to get now adays. tail lights are repoped now if you arent a stickler for oem. check Macautoparts and classicautoparts . com
nah i dont mind at all but the only repop ones i can find are the backup lenses. there was a 63 marauder i saw on here it was white with red scallops and i was diggin the lenses he had on that one,but cant find anything.

I think the guy I'm talking about had a 63 2dr Monterey also. Both beautiful cars. If I remember right he sold both of them.
Thanks everyone it will be done up slowly but surely going mostly og with this one, but it will be a different story when I get my hands on my dads 64 galaxie 500 xl.
Welcome! They are GREAT cars - wish I could get mine on the road - life has intercepted my plans for now. Look forward to seeing more of your car!
Thanks soon I will be able to do some more work on it. Got a new baby coming any day now so I work on it when I can. I plan on lowering it a few inches here pretty soon and I want to at least get some primer on it for right now. Ive been helping my dad more on his galaxie. We have to pull the trans and have it rebuilt. We may just end up throwing a c6 in there for the time being.
Haven't been on in a while but have done a LITTLE bit on the merc. Lowered the ass 3 inches. Will be lowering the front soon but not sure if I should use the aerostar coils or cut the stock ones. Any suggestions anyone?
