Thanks. The styling is fantastic.

I have a '63 Monterey, this guy has a lot to look forward to if he gets it driving. I revived a Monterey 4 door, 390 with the Merc o matic. Same color as this one, but the Breezeway roofline, it had been sitting 10 years, but it was an incredible survivor with a near perfect interior and exterior not far off either. Got it running, got it driving, At this point i've redone all the major driving systems, plus I even got the factory AC going again. And it drives so damn smooth, goes over bumps like glass. I've put 2,000 miles on it now with no major issues. A real pleasure to drive, he's got a lot to look forward to.

That is great to hear. The Breezeway Mercs are so unique. Thank you for saving it.

What an excellent candidate for restoration, given the condition of the body, and a 2 door hardtop no less! The FE series Ford engines are very common still, and hard to kill by mere neglect. Almost as dependable as an anvil. I've had several of the 390s and even a 428 version, and they can be mild to wild, depending on what you want. Starters by the way, are made to kick out when the flywheel suddenly picks up, so as not to burn up the starter. It just spins up like that if you are a bit slow in taking your hand off the switch. Sounds great to me!

That is definitely a keeper and it should be parked in an enclosed garage with concrete floor instead of a outside shed style building. I can see red paint peeking out from under that white and I'll bet that vehicle was originally red. This is a car that is well worth a thorough restoration. I am not a Ford guy but this Mercury is a well designed vehicle and it is so complete.

That owner was pretty excited, glad you were able to get that beauty going.

For sitting all those years, the engine sounded good... that needs to be back on the road !

Now it will sit there until 2055, and be backed up to the porch ,until 2100, great job getting that thing running.

Catching up im new... this car is a one of a kind. This is no luxury car, it was Mercury's foray into the performance market, i mean the 390 was the base engine. The owner has an incredible car. What a team you two make in these videos. Im glad KZread led me to your channel. Yours and TheeTravisb in the same month. Im truly blessed! Take care.

A little time spent sitting at the front and back bumpers and some triple aught steel wool and the owner would definitely notice the difference in the look of the bumpers. If it were mine I'd fix any rust throughs and the surface rust on the body of the car, and then have it repainted the original color of Corinthian White, add finding the original hubcaps and a new set of white wall tires and you'd have a Beautiful almost original Mercury Marauder. Nuff Said. Yall did a wonderful job getting that 390 unstuck and running and actually idling. I now have another decent channel to watch. I appreciate the lack of cursing that some other channels have on them.
