I had a 1963 Mercury Monterrey with the same engine. It had the the Breezeway rear window. One of our engineer's bought it new and traded it in on a new 1965 Mercury. It only had 10k miles on it. I tried to buy it from him for $1800.00 and he wouldn't sell it to me so when I saw him go by the shop with the new car I ask my boss if I could take leave. He said to go ahead and take leave and I went out to the Mercury garage nosing around until I spotted the 63 Mercury. I was sitting in another used car when a salesman came by and ask if he could help me. I told him I was looking for a car with low mileage. He said I just in a 63 Mercury with only 10k miles and its a one owner. He said he sold that 63 to him when it was new.
I asked him what he wanted for the 63 Mercury and he said $1800.00. I had a 57 Chevy that I had bought used and he wanted to now if I was going to trade the Chevy and I told him no. I called my wife and she came down and we took the car for a drive. The salesman asked how I like the car and I told I would like it better if it had AC. I said I will give you $1600.00 and he said he had to ask his boss. They took the $1600.00 and the engineer didn't believe me the next day when I told him I bought his old car. I said it's home in the garage. My boss told him I wasn't lying. We drove it to Florida in 1967 and it would cruise at 70mph on the Interstates with just a little effort. My wife used it for shopping and taking our daughter to school and I put studded snow tires on it in the Winter. Back then they didn't close the schools and she said those studded tires were very good on ice. They outlawed those tires here in MD. Hal

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
