Under the hood sits an upgraded 429 cubic-inch Big Block V8 backed by a stout C6 automatic transmission. Additional upgrades include power steering, Wilwood front disc brakes with proportioning valve, and a Champion aluminum radiator to help keep this big block running cool.
The exterior presents very nicely with beautiful chrome, trim, glass, and weatherstripping throughout. A set of Magnum-style wheels wrapped in Mastercraft Avenger GT tires gives the Mercury an excellent stance. The white power convertible top is in great condition and provides the perfect contrast against the red exterior.
Open the door and you ll find a very clean factory-style red and white interior featuring nice red carpeting, front seatbelts, a clean dash pad, and crisp gauges. An upgraded three-spoke wood steering wheel with a Cobra snake emblem on the horn button adds a sporty finishing touch. A modern stereo system can also be added please contact your sales representative for pricing and available options.
The trunk remains in largely stock condition and presents nicely, as shown in the photos.
This Montego was acquired by its previous owner in 2016 and has spent the years since being enjoyed on weekend drives and at local cruise nights. It has the classic big-block sound, great looks, and open-air driving experience that make vintage convertibles so much fun to own.
