1964 Mercury Montclair 4dr Sedan

1964 Mercury Other 4DR Sedan 54B Description

For sale is my 1964 Mercury Montclair. Its a 4 door sedan with the electric breezeway window. Only 15.520 made. The car runs and drives. The car has the Marauder badge on i, but it is not one as there is no evidence I found so please don't think it is. This was a project hobby car for me and never intended to make it a show car. Like most people I just refurbished or replaced many parts on the vehicle as a hobby. Its a good car to continue on with restoration. I did want to get it painted, bodywork and underneath painted but there is not many classic car shops around where I live. I have a long list of parts and repairs made and also include the items that still need attention. The car is being sold as-is and has NO warranty of any kind. There are no returns for any reason. Please do not bid if you have no intention of paying. I will entertain reasonable offers. Shipping is the buyers expense. Bank Cashiers Check or Cash. Check must clear and cash must be successfully deposited in the bank before title work is done. Please email me with questions. I will have the car locally advertised also and reserve the right to end the auction if it sells locally.

Here's what I know needs to be done. I encourage potential buyers to have the car inspected so you know the full scope. As I'm not liable if I miss something.1. Front control arms bushings. They have the rubber rotted. 2. Front end alignment3. Double check the brakes. They stop now however I only drive the car once a month.4. Transmission leaks. Its the MX transmission. It shifts fine. I replaced the pan gasket but no help. Type F was used5. Paint and some body work is needed to bring it closer to show car.6. Recommend exhaust system replacement to duals. Exhaust system is Ok now but who doesn't want duals on a 390.7. Needs a spare tire. Have rim. original Jack and tools are included.8. Front bumper is slightly bent and could use straightened and refinished.
If I get the full bid or a reasonable offer I may include the many spare parts that I have accumulated over the last 5 years.
This is good car with good bones just needs the next owner to take it to the next level.
