1966 Mercury Monterey For Sale - TPA2735

Gateway Classic cars of Tampa is proud to present this classy 1966 Mercury Monterey S-55 Hardtop. Mercury went through a major restyle in 1965 with a minor facelift in 1966. The cars were leaner, crisper, and more attractive. With a big focus toward a luxury. Mercury was moving up market and management deemed performance out of character for their new vison, so the S-55 trim was removed early in the 66 model year. This makes this car particularly rare! Our 2 door hardtop Monterey presents as a mostly original survivor. With no obvious signs of restoration or modification. The White paint has minor flaws, but is very presentable with no rust or major chipping. The roof is wrapped in black vinyl and the car rides on white factory hubcaps with white walled radials. Inside you're greeted to buckets up front with a center console, all wrapped in pearl parchment, white vinyl. Under the hood is a healthy 428ci V8 spinning a three speed automatic trans. The combo has no problem lugging this big sled around. Plenty of power and smooth shifting. These big 60s Mercs are an uncommon sight in the 21st century and a hi-po, S-55 optioned Monterey hardtop is even more so. This car would be a great addition to your collection. Don't waste time, it'll be gone before you know it.
