    1968 Mercury Monterey hot rod

    Need to sell my 1968 Mercury Monterey. Has a bunch of drive train mods. 80,000 original miles on car. Air bagged, FR500's, 447ci FE, ported Edelbrock heads and intake, Comp roller valve train, etc. C6 just freshend, new tank. Too much to write it all out. Can give all details with phone call if interested.
    Have lost interest in it and has sat pretty much for the last 5-6 years. Drove maybe 300 miles in that time.
    Have been asking $14,500, but will take $12,000.
    Maybe cash and trade. Make any offers, you never know.
    I also have all the original documentation for the car, as I am the second owner.
    Can see some videos on YouTube under BigM460.

    Oh, I think we'd be about equal on value. I only have the car in my sig, which I love, built by Marty. Already has new headers on it
    Many FE powered Mustangs couldn't hit 12.0 - pretty well built combination pulling that barge!
