I brought this car in Rosamond California and it has very Low Humidy HOT Dry Dessert Climate just mile away from the Famous Willow Springs Raceway this car has never left California It was Sold New there as it has the Black Number Plates and Ordered New in Los Angeles Area !!!I thought it was the original 289 motor in the car had look at the motor today spotted something familar on the front of the block It has big boss cast into the block and knew it had Mexican Block in it pulled the Valve Covers off and it has 302 Heads on it and has 1964 4v Intake Manifold just sitting on the motor so lifted that off to confirm it is indeed Mexican Block in the Car see pics Hecko En Mexico (Made in Mexico) these blocks are highly desireable and used alot in racing applications the Car has set of Tramp Rods in the Back might have done bit of drag racing in its day !!!The Motor Turns over by hand just fine but has parts missing off it and intake manifold was just sitting on it so will be good core to build yourself hot little windsor motor for it !!! Build Yourself an unbreakable 347 Stroker !!!
Its is definitely project car but well worth the effort havent had motor running but it is real original under the bonnet still has all the original generator and power steering pumps etc and motor is free will get it running in few days will need to be mechanically checked thru including Steering Exhaust, Brakes and Suspension before it will be hitting the roads again of course
It Can be Registered in all States Left hand Drive have the Import Approval Permit etc The Body is Rust Free well or so thought we had to Steam Clean /Pressure wash the floors today to clear thru Quarantine and there is some rust in the rear floor pans for sure the previous owner was intending restoring the car and had stripped few panels and left it it was such dry climate it hasnt hurt it at all but will need to be sealed as that queensland humidity will soon have it turning rustic brown it is real clean its had one paint job (white) over the original Red paint car that and will make very nice car when done just found set of headlight surrouns in USA and they will come with the car am missing some of the trim parts but can help to locate them on future trips to USA
The Floors are going to need some minor patches or replacement panels in the rear foot well sections only It will need coat of paint to make it real nice again of course but its only got one coat of paint over the Original Paint on the car so its very good starting point its got few dings and dents around the place but most importantly there is no real major rust. All the Glass is Real Nice and rolls up and down etc Windsreen does have couple of bullseyes but its the same screen as XP XM Falcon Coupe
The Interior will need the Usual Stuff being from the Dessert Seat Covers Dash Pad Carpets etc but have all the original parts to start with ie seats, door trims etc
Its getting impossible to find 1964 Cars these days anywhere Let alone real cool looking Mercury Fastback - Will Make Great Sunday Car or Great Candidate to make great Classic Race Car !!!
The Last Photo shows how good this car would look with paint job and some TLC!!This Car has just arrived in Australia book your inspection before anyone else !!
