I am selling this for a friend. Please do not call unless you are seriously interested. 1973 Mercury Monterey (four door) NEW: - Battery - Tires - Starter - Radiator - Heater Core 55,000 original miles Engine 400 V8 3 speed auto Last started: 5/24/09 $1,200 or best offer Contact Sue: 759-6012 ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0013.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0013.jpg) ^^dent in front of the hood ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0015.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0015.jpg) ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0016.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0016.jpg) ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0017.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0017.jpg) ^bottom of the hood ![http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0020.jpg](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b13/jeremypenfold/100_0020.jpg) Overall its in decent shape and definitely drivable, but probably needs some exhaust work since it was pretty loud when started up on Saturday. It’s been stored indoors for a year now. If I had the space I would buy it. This isnt a picture of the car for sale, but this is what it looks like: ![http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/72-74_Mercury_Monterey.jpg/800px-72-74_Mercury_Monterey.jpg](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/72-74_Mercury_Monterey.jpg/800px-72-74_Mercury_Monterey.jpg) ---

It is definitely a huge car. You could probably fit 6 bodies in the trunk, 3 under the hood, all while having a 4 some in the backseats. There would still be room for a camera crew to film in the front seats as well. From how the current owner talks I would gather it isn’t fast nor is it a pig. There have been no performance modifications made to the car. He was just commuting with it.
