Hey gang. It looks like this website has only one post in the Mercury Montego section. I am an owner of a 1976 Mercury Montego. Clean as hell for $175. I bought the car back in July from an elderly lady and it hadnt been started since 1990. The reason why she stopped driving it is unknown because it is mint. It has 19,000 verified miles too!

 

nice car. you should put some spaces between them pics so they can be viewed better.

since the car sat up for so long, I''d check the vacuum lines for deterioration and, if you haven''t already, change all the fluids and filters.

Hope it''s a great car for ya. and yes, that''s a sweet deal.

 

How did you get the pics to post left to right anyways? You sure got lucky with a car like that. Its a steal!!!!! A good entry for car shows. I''ll bet you''ll get a nice trophy for it. Take good care of her!! Oh yeah, what that guy said about hoses & filters and such?....That''s a real good idea-dont forgettake good care.[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

 

I don''t know how that happened, I just put in the pics and?????

But yes I have already done all of those things and then some. Thanks for the compliments.

Wish I could be so lucky. That is a sweet car!

 

Congrats on finding the Montego and such a great deal too! I''m guessing Grandad passed on and Grandma lost her "nerve", so parked the car. Thousands of nice cars sit in garages across the country, and it''s a shame to have them slowly deteriorate. Grandpa probably will be smiling as you enjoy the car as it was meant to be enjoyed. By the way, you''re apparently the expert in the Montego forum now![img]smileys/smiley20.gif[/img]
