1968 Mercury Montego

VERY RARE AND AMAZING 1968 MERCURY MONTEGO MX CONVERTIBLE.

I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE BEST ORIGINAL - UNRESTORED CONDITION. 100% RUST FREE AND EXCELLENT DRIVING '65-'70 ERA CONVERTIBLES YOU

WILL EVER FIND. THIS VEHICLE WAS SOLD NEW FROM JACK ROSS LINCOLN/MERCURY MOTORS IN ARIZONA AND RESIDED IN PHOENIX FROM NEW UNTIL 2011 WHEN IT WAS SOLD AND CAME STRAIGHT TO DRY SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. IT IS CLEARLY EVIDENT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOVED. HIGHLY MAINTAINED. GARAGED. AND DRIVEN SPARINGLY ONLY IN DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLY HAVING NEVER SEEN RAIN OUR FOUL WEATHER. IT REALLY IS THAT CLEAN AND DRY. THIS IS A FANTASTIC CONVERTIBLE THAT IS TURN-KEY ROAD WORTHY WITH GREAT FUNCTIONING A/C THAT WILL KEEP YOU COOL IN SUMMER. THE '68-'69 MONTEGO BODY STYLE HAS VERY MUSCULAR BODY LINES AND WAS THE BASIS FOR THE CYCLONE WHICH IN '68 ONLY CAME IN THE NEWLY RELEASED FASTBACK BODY STYLE WHICH FORD/MERCURY CREATED FOR AERODYNAMIC PURPOSES TO USE IN NASCAR.
