My Dad finally got his merc.

  1. Its a long story, but my dad had a car like this when he was 15. Never was able to do anything with it and had to sell it. we came across this 56 hardtop last year but the old guy wanted 6500 for it (it was his high school car.) Anyway the guy got killed last fall in a farming accident and the car disapeers. Turns up at a local junk yard, we got it 2 days ago, and have been driving the wheels off it. The cool thing is that it has a 312 with floor shift 3 spd, and dual smithy mufflers.
