Under the hood is the correct Z-code 390 cubic-inch V8 motor. The engine bay presents exceptionally well with plenty of gloss black components competing for shine against the gold valve covers and air cleaner. Plus, when you inspect the condition of the essential components, like the spark plugs and wires, you’ll see this a well-maintained motor. It’s the same V8 big block would make a few legendary Mustangs, so it can still move this droptop around with authority. But you don’t want this for a muscle car. Having a Monterey like this is about reconnecting with a time when dad let you borrow his car for a big date, or you snuck it out so you and all your friends could have the ultimate Friday night in one car. And if you’re too young for that, here’s the perfect machine to make memories like this. That’s because with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and a suspension that will keep you floating down the road, this Mercury is the perfect cruising convertible.
