Found a new daily

Been keeping an eye out high and low for anything interesting and this turned up 2 blocks from my house and was a killer deal to boot! Low miles, very stock and mostly original. Came with lots of documentation and even the paperwork and brochure for the Sears under dash air. Here's some pics...

 

nice!!!

now all it needs is a fresh coat of DP-90...paint the wheels red and a mexican blanket......

..IM KIDDING!!! sweet score,,,it's really an awesome thing to find a car that has been upkept so nice over the years,,,i picked up a survivor a couple months ago that has been untouched and am in heaven since after messing with rust buckets my whole life!

 

That's killer. I tried to buy one a few months ago. Very nice. Congrats.

 

Nice ride. The back of that thing looks killer.

 

I'm assuming that's a Canadian made Mercury, since your in Canada. Usually have some nice subtle changes from the American made Mercurys. Nice find!

 

62 Mercurys out in force lately here on the hamb!

 

Thanks, I'm really pleased with this find. Actually it's a Florida car and still has the dealership emblem on the trunk lid and a 1971 Florida inspection sticker on the windshield. Apparently it came to Canada in the 80's.

 

Thanks 3, I agree 100% on that rear profile. Can't wait to start driving it!

 

Nice find, had to come across stuff like that up here.

 

I hear ya Sam, I swore off of rust buckets long ago. Hard to find clean ones in this neck of the woods so I'm feelin' particularly lucky. Now, about that Mexican blanket......

 

Sweet!

 

Love the taillights. There's one of these in a junkyard close to me, let me know if you're missing anything.

 

I like it..... saddle up.

 

Hey Mike that is soooo cool....I love that car some Astros, Belflowers and hammer it on the ground very cool!!!!! I put the hardtop on the back burner, Chili Phil and I are going JR Fuel racing....Small block on Nitro and front engine....800 pounds of insanity.... you have a bitchen car....when you coming to SoCal???? I have a spare room!

I dig!!!

 

SWEET!
I had a 62 woody Merc wagon a few years ago. That was a super bitchin car!!! I once drove it to the portland swap meet and slept in it. I was awaken from a guy tappin on the glass asking if I wanted to sell it!

 

nice find all that thing needs is some short glass packs so you can make her rap

 

JD, you read my mind sir! Gotta admit though, I'm really diggin' the look of Malcolm's Galaxie with the WWs and spider caps.

Can you believe this thing was sitting at Midland and Ellesmere for the last 10 years?
JR fuel huh? Insanity is not the right word, should be a riot!
Road trip planned for '09. Wanna hit speed week then I'll shoot out to SoCal and pay you a visit. Of course a little stop over in Vegas is a must. =)

Thanks guys~!

 

That woody sounds super cool! Did you sell it to your wake up call?

 

wow! me like , nice score man!

 

that's a nice car! i few years back i bartered a 63 marauder for a paint job, the car was really clean, made a cool custom out of it. are you gonna leave it stock, or what's the plan? they do make cool customs! if you want, i'll post a pic, so you can see what i mean, or give you some ideas. congrats!

 

Really nice find. The setting you chose for the pictures looks great. Those buildings look to be the same age as your car, pretty neat.

 

Pics and suggestions are always welcome. Gonna go mild custom with it, nothing crazy.

Thanks!

 

Thanks, I'm stoked. The pics were taken by the previous owner at the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) downtown Toronto so the era should be very close.

 

here it is

 

Very cool! Add some nice looking wheels and drive as is.

 

Very nice....I have always liked those.

 

That can't be canadian... it has floors!

 

I absolutely love it! As a daily... you must not drive far at $5/gallon. What kind of mpg are you looking at?

 

I love it! Was leaning towards WWs and chrome reverse but those Astros and pinners look killer. Hmmm....decisions, decisions....
