Sold
1969 Mercury Monterey, 390ci V8, Cold Factory A/C, Rare Color Combo
WOW what a find. This week Canyon State Classics brings to eBay this beautiful
1969 Mercury Monterey in great condition inside and out. This car
is a gorgeous example of the rare 6 passenger hardtop coupe. This car was a very low production number at 2898 for 1969. Very few examples survived the ravages of time, rust,
and being used up and driven into the ground and are nearly extinct! This
particular example might be one of very few in the market place and is believed to have 71,000 original
miles.

The exterior on the car is an absolutely stunning color combination. The car was an initial Saint Louis DSO car that was believed to have made its way out to Arizona soon after but doesnt show any rust or bondo. We have spotted a couple pea sized corrosion spots behind each rear wheels. The paint otherwise is in great shape with the exception of some burnt clear on the passenger side trunk edge. The
chrome and trim all shows well with some minor pitting which is to be expected for 71k miles. All glass is in good shape and has no cracks, stains, or blemishes. All rubbers on
the car are the original seals. The cars look is finished off with correct 15" Aluminum hubcaps with the Mercury logo in the middle, and period correct-style whitewall tires. The complimenting white vinyl interior
is in exceptional condition and originality was retained wherever possible. The seats are in great shape and have had the bottom seats only redone. The uppers as well as door panels are still original untouched condition. The dash and all door panels are beautiful
and look like new! The carpet throughout is correct and original. Headliner is clean with original visors retained. The steering wheel has
the original horn button and does show age cracking. All gauges and
lights work correctly, and even the original AM FM radio work great.
Mechanically, this Monterey runs GREAT! This car features the original numbers matching 390ci which really moves this beauty.
Everything is fresh and ALL fluids in the car were gone through including brakes and even the carburetor rebuilt. The engine
compartment is clean and original in appearance and has been freshened up. The A/C system has been completely gone through and is in excellent working condition. This car literally starts right up on the first bump of the key and all systems work like new. All in all, RARE doesn't even begin to describe this one of a kind low mileage '69 Mercury. It has been
properly maintained, amended and truly loved by its previous owners. These
60's era coupes are becoming more and more collectible as the
older ones disappear into collections, especially well maintained low
mileage western cars like this example. It is an investment because with the kind of
condition it is and its classic bodylines, it is now and will forever be
a classic. This car has a clean clear Arizona Title. Any further questions
please call Jon at 480-703-2337.
The car is located in Sunny Tempe, AZ!
