1974 Mercury Montego MX 351C

This is an Arizona, rust free vehicle. It was repainted in 2006 to the original color. The vehicle runs strong and has good tires with lots of tread. The vinyl top is in very good condition along with the vast majority of the interior and exterior. The paint is bright and shiny. The paint was professionally done and looks very nice. The engine starts right up,is quiet and runs smooth. The steering is tight and there are no odd noises coming from the vehicle. The carpet is very nice and well preserved. The air conditioning works as it should. The trunk carpeting is very nice and well preserved. There is no known rot on this vehicle.
The issues I noted were as follows; The knob for the driver side mirror adjuster is broken. There is a minor worn spot on the driver front seat and the interior trim at the rear of the driver door. There is a spot on the headliner where the stitching has separated slightly. There are no cracks in the dash but there is a slight warp to the pad. The original air cleaner has been replaced with a chrome air cleaner. The factory radio works but aftermarket speakers have been put in the front doors. The armrests are discolored.

The current owner is the third owner and just recently purchased it from the widow of the previous owner. This is a great, above average, driver quality vehicle. It is a get in and go type of vehicle. With that said, it is 46 years old. Things break and stop working, even though this vehicle only has roughly 77k Miles. There is no warranty and the vehicle is sold as-is. I strongly recommend inspecting before you bid as your bid is a binding contract. I do not own this vehicle, it belongs to a friend of mine and is located in Cottonwood Arizona, an hour and a half north of the Phoenix area. I have personally inspected this vehicle and was pleasantly surprised at the overall condition. They are very hard to find in this shape. I would not be afraid to get in this vehicle and take off on a trip.
Please note, the photographs were taken early in the morning and there was frost and condensation on the vehicle. Additional photos can be provided if needed. The vehicle can also be placed on a lift and undercarriage photos can be taken.
