Got me a Mercury
Went to a garage sale yesterday and came home with this!
Not a spot of rust anywhere on it. I was dumbfounded when I saw it sitting there |

Re: Got me a Mercury
Bumpers are rechromed and still wrapped up, new glass all the way around, the grill is absolutley cherry, and the entire bottom has been painted in POR 15.
Yes it has the flathead in it and it is going to stay in it. It also has dual exhaust. It was the find of the year, thats for sure |

Re: Got me a Mercury
Are you more upset that you haven't found any cars or that there is nothing in your size in the women's clothes? LOL just kidding!

Re: Got me a Mercury
I found this 1970 Bradley GT at a garage sale 2 blocks from my house. It was interrupting me finishing my 36 Cabri SO I sold it... Had some excitement & fun because I went to a garage sale on a wim. My step Grandkids loved it they also love my 36 & the Rumble seat.

Re: Got me a Mercury
Nice car! Now please, do not chop it, bag it, slam it, put in air conditioning, or any other crazy business!

Re: Got me a Mercury
Your biggest problem will be the brakes, they just can't work in today's trafic. Put a set of disks on the front.
