REVIVING THE 1967 MERCURY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- In between thunderstorms, I managed to get the 1967 Mercury Commuter Wagon unloaded onto a concrete surface. Now, I'll be changing the fuel pump, removing and cleaning the gas tank, and making it drivable. Wish me luck, it's stormy out here! Let's do this! Edited by VideoGuru:videoguru.page...
I can't believe how nice that interior is and the body! She's a beaut Clark! I would keep the original type of tires and hubcaps.
@@Galona223 I'll be washing it tomorrow, and I can't wait. It's gonna look fantastic afterward. Thanks for the kind words!
Yes FE= Ford Edsel. And I'd keep the original wheel covers.
@@theprinceofsnj That's two votes for original wheel covers! Thanks for watching and commenting!
What a cruiser.❤
@@mikewinkelman7015 Absolutely! I am soooo fired up! Hopefully, I can get it driving and stopping quickly. Thanks for watching and commenting!
A nice clean old car, I'm glad you're working to get it back on the road. And I like the standard wheel covers that are on it.
@@DSP1968 I'm glad I was able to find it. I have big plans! Thanks for watching and commenting!
i remember those buttons such a nice ride cant wait to see videos of it drivng
@mr.hearse7512 I can't wait, either! I remember how these cars drive...like floating on a cloud. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The original wheel covers are perfect for that wagon. I wouldn’t change ANYTHING appearance wise.
@@joemorsman6531 That's the general opinion so far. They really do look good. Thanks for watching and commenting!
My pleasure! My mom had aa 67 Chrysler Town and Country wagon - I learned to drive in it, so cars of this era are very close to my heart. By the way, those are the “deluxe” wheel covers, standard in the Colony Park - the brochure shows the Commuter with dog dish hubcaps.
@joemorsman6531 I wonder how they wound up with deluxe hubcaps? It also has factory a/c, ps and pb.
Find some whitewalls, I sure hope you can and leave the original wheel covers on it. Such a neat car and the one owner history is wild!
@@kevindoxey I sure hope I can find some white walls! I'm glad you like the car! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I can't see anything wrong with the wheel covers that are on the car.
@@danielulz1640 I agree. I'm not entirely sure that I want to change anything on the car at all (except mechanical fixes). Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm so jealous. I've had five wagons from 72 to 89 . Love them all. To hell with gas mileage
@@RickyMeninger It's quickly worming its way into my heart. I hope to make lots of memories in this car. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Regarding tires, check out Hankook Kinergy ST. They have a 1/2-3/4 whitewall. My 67 Buick Sportwagon has 14” Buick Road Wheels with 215/75/14 Hankooks, nice riding tire. On my 68 LTD I run Cooper Cobras with the blackwalls out on Ansen Sprint slotted mags for an old school sinister look. Your car would look very business like with blackwalls. Love your wagon. If you can find an old school radiator shop the generally clean, repair, and seal radiators and gas tanks. If you can’t find one in Florida you could bring then to KANSAS City and go to Orr Radiator. They’ve done several rehabs for me.
@@tomrowe7534 Good information! I appreciate you taking the time to offer advice. I'll look into it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Absolutely love this wagon, even the fuel cap cover is cool 😎 I'm looking forward to the drive, you gotta keep this car, so rare and you dont see them everyday, a nice set of wheels and detailed it will be a magic car to use as a daily ❤🍻🍻🦘🦘🏔🌨🌨🇦🇺🤝🇺🇲😎
@@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS I'm sitting in my recliner, listening to the rain and wanting to fix the fuel pump! lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage your welcome and OK 💺💺😂 bugger the rain, new shed coming soon to Sean's place 🚪👍🇦🇺😎🦘🏔🌨
@@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS I'd sure like a huge garage with 6 lifts and air conditioning! lol
@mohawkgarage ask Santa 🎅 🧑🎄 😄 🤣🤣😂 and while you're there, me 2 😲😅😂🤣
@@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS Santa hasn't lived up to my expectations lately. lol
Hi sean try coker tires or go up a size to 235 an id leave it as is down to the caps an its a keeper to me you dont see em like this to often . Cheers mate🇦🇺
@@peterselten500 That sounds like a killer plan. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I bet that’s a two way tailgate. You can either fold it down or it swings out. Cool Ford idea…
@doug8525 You are absolutely correct! I can't open it until the electric rear window can roll down, so I'll have to fix that before I can do it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Look into adding rear anti sway bar, larger front anti sway bar. Much much better handling on a mountain road.
If you rebuild the front end, put on the parts with grease fittings for the bushings!
You may need to use fuel additives each fill up. That engine may have higher compression that does not enjoy today's fuel.
Our 1966 390 needed additives.
@@clarkleakins879 I'll hopefully be experiencing the ride and drive soon. I'm making daily progress. Thank you for the advice! Also, thanks for watching and commenting!
I had a 1967 Mercury Marquis Same HubCaps And I switched the Hub Caps Out For Set Of 1967 Mercury Dog Dish Hub Caps And Trim Rings And it Looked Awesome!
Mine Had The 410 Marauder Sport Top 2 Door Coupe Nice Car
Good Luck
Those are the exact hubcaps I'm considering. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage Man those Mercury Models for 67 Were Monsters LOL
@@mohawkgarage Yeah Good Choice With
White Walls Looked sweet on mine !
@@joshuaferguson1586 Absolutely! You should feel how the doors close! It's soooo tightly constructed. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@joshuaferguson1586 I haven't totally decided on tires yet. I think I'll get white walls. That way, I can mount them out or in. It's all about the look!
sweet that is one cool car
@mr.hearse7512 Thank you! I'm very excited about it!
Keep it original. I wish I were closer. I'd love to detail that car for you. FREE of charge. Just for the pleasure of seeing it shine. BTW the original tire size back then would be a 855/15 I think.
@mikenonya6382 The only parts that are being replaced are faulty mechanical parts. All original parts will be saved. All hoses, lines, belts, and fluids will be changed. Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
That’s cool ash trays back in the day
Do new cars even have ashtrays? lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage thanks for the reply be safe like I said keep that wagon
@@fredbalandran3182 I plan on keeping it. I've got lots of little projects to do to it before I drive it, though. Thanks again!
@@mohawkgarage cool
I think hankook makes a white wall in that size
@@chrisbrandimarte2175 I'll check into it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Keep it very few exists
I totally agree! I can't recall the last time I've seen one. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I took my drivers test in a car just like this.
I bet parallel parking was fun! lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
You should do voice over work for commercials or movies. Cool project also!
@@chadburud5681 That's exactly what I did for 45 years! lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@mohawkgarage well hell! I should be a talent scout then! Lol
Is your work attached to anything famous?
@chadburud5681 I was in radio broadcasting for many years. I did national and international voice-over work on the side. It's hard to say if you'd recognize anything from my career. Radio is pretty localized. People who are famous in one town are unknown 50 miles down the road. lol
Thanks again!
I have something for you!
Set of camping curtains mom made, was for out 1966 Country Sedan, exact same body. Please advise if you want, light green color.
@@clarkleakins879 Absolutely!
Keep the wheel covers
@@Jstme303 That's the plan so far! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pinstripe whitewalls on supreme 5 spokes. Always classic. Cragars with pinstripe whitewalls are a good second 👌
@@fairlaneranch Damn, that does sound good! I'm gonna spend the next hour photoshopping! lol
