Digging Up This Car But What Is It?

who wants to wager that sucker will crack in half when they pull it with a tractor

 

good chance it will. what do you plan to do with it when you pull it out

 

sell trim then send it to the scraper I'll get pics of the carberator tomorrow after i dig out the car!

 

Aw damn, you're right. And I swore I saw a pillar...

It's supposed to.

 

I can't figure out what this car is! the tailights look totally different then ANY of the cars that look like it!

 

It's a '53 Mercury Monterey, positive. Not a '54, taillights are different. Not a '52, roof trim is different.

 

thanks for the info!

well, here it is!!!







heres my dad, couldn't have finished this without him for sure!




was driven off the car lot in 1964 straight to his house. got home, pulled the flathead out and stuck it in a 35 ford. took the montery and filled it with so called 'junk' back in the day and pushed it down the hill. it was a V8, stickshift car with orange interior. anybody know what anything on this car is worth? i'm thinking the back window must be worth something! and the chrome is all very nice. i just have no idea what its worth. or the stickshift pedals!

 

You really did DIG out the car!!

 

cant wait to see pics of it hosed off

 

I'm really surprised there was anything left of it below the dirt!

 

I'll take pics of the floors soon when i hose it off. they're so nice that im confused

I have video of the car coming out for the first time since 64. i'll try and upload it.

 

Now what in the world are you going to do with it?

 

If the frame is solid, I know what I'd do with it! But I'm also the same nut job that's contemplated getting this car out of the woods.

 

I bet for about $150 grand you can make that baby look like brand new again!!! It's a KEEPER!!!
