Odd Stick Shift '65 Mercury Montclair

[scuncio]

I have a soft spot for these odd special-order cars. Can't remember ever seeing a 3 on the tree with overdrive on a '65 Mercury - seems like that would have been too upmarket a car for the standard trans.

Love the power rear window on these.

Back in the early 2000's we had to put a frame in a 65 2 door Montclair Marauder and the donor car was the same as this, 4 door 3 on the tree.

Frames were so rusty in these things.
