Description

  This 1962 Mercury Monterey Custom convertible is finished in red and white over color-coordinated leather upholstery and powered by a 390ci V8 mated to a two-speed automatic transmission. Features include a power-operated white convertible soft top, push-button AM radio, electric windows, shave door handles and mirrors, a lowered suspension, power steering, American racing wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, and a dual exhaust system with chambered mufflers. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2020. This Monterey convertible is now offered with a clean Colorado title.

  The body is finished in red and white and features a power-operated white convertible soft top. Equipment includes quad headlamps, chrome trim and bumpers, rocket-style taillamps, fender-mounted wind splits, vent windows, and a dual outlet exhaust system that exits below the rear bumper. The door handles and mirrors have been shaved. 

  The 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are mounted with 245/45 Kenda front tires and 275/60 Goodyear Eagle GT II rear tires. The car is equipped with a lowered suspension and power steering. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.

  The front and rear bench seats are upholstered in red leather with white accents and are joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes electric windows, a heater and defroster, and a push-button AM radio.

  The three-spoke steering wheel has a chrome horn ring and frames a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 47k miles. Total mileage is unknown.

  The 390ci V8 breathes through a four-barrel carburetor and features an Optima red-top battery and gold air cleaner and valve covers. An oil change was performed in 2022.

  Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a two-speed automatic transmission. A dual exhaust system with chambered mufflers is installed.
