The Mrs found a 1965 Mercury Park Lane Breezeway 4dr a few weeks back that is now ours...390 4V 'Z' engine...58000 miles on it. Needs a bit of TLC and we'll see if we can't get it back on the road.

Nice collection. Did you check the frame on that '65 carefully? It's a common failure point.

Would be great to put a newer 4.6L with an O/D in it somedayNo! It's worth more with its original engine, and it's way more cool as well.
