Todays Mercury. Seen when I went for lunch today. Kid's grandpa redid this 64. Yapped at the kid for a while. Body was poker straight, just painted a bit busy for my taste. Grille and bumper was powdercoated...

Thanks for sharing.

pretty nice. i think a nice set of chrome smoothies would have went better with his paint scheme.

lol. i logged on today at work and with the crappy net hookup it took forever to load the gif so i figured if it was that annoying for me, it must be pretty annoying to all those with dial up so i took it down.

I agree with you Johnny. It is a little busy. Those wheels do nothing for it either. Nice to see some Mercs out there though,

Well. Under the hood was a different story on that last one. The Grandpa keeps his tastebuds in a different place than me, but the kid was about 19 or 20 and just thrilled to be driving it..

The nice thing about propane is that it doesn't "go bad" like gasoline. Great for vehicles that sit idle for periods of time like motorhomes. I've had lots of my stuff on propane over the years, a '67 Cougar, early Bronc, IHC Travelall, motorhome, and a few 70s F250 4x4s. The Bronc even stayed running after I rolled it upside down because propane is already in a gaseous state, had to reach up to shut the key off. I thought I split my head open after I flipped it but it was just red tranny fluid leaking all over the cab.

Here are some other mercs. Lots of them for sale right now.

if that guy really payed 15k for that beat one, he definitely is not a good shopper! Nice looking mercs for sale overall, would be a rarity down here for sure!

Agreed.....those are some sweet Merc's!

The third truck (red '65 4X4) is my fav.... Not really a big deal to me, but it appears to me to be fitted with non-4X4 front fenders... ?
What does it look like to you guys with better eyes?

Merc o the week, seen on my way home tonight. Yapped at the kid and his old man, pretty proud of this 65. stock 300/3-tree

He should be proud, nice looking truck. I am sure you tried your best to buy those wheels off of him too.
You know guys, JC has been compiling a list for years just so he could run this thread to tease the US guys who only have Fords.

Not all USA Guys have Ford trucks now

So everytime I walk out the door I see one....
