Hey rev great news!! I was baptized this morning and my son got saved!!!!!!! 😊. Thanks for the good clean content for all to watch.
PTL!
@@mistersecret88Praise God!!!! He is Working.
Praise the Lord! Happy to hear this!
GOD IS GOOD!!!! Amen brother!
Praise the Lord my friend! He is faithful for sure!
My wife's uncle had one and he was driving down the interstate when a car along side him was honking waving and pointing at his car. Glanced in the mirror and his two boys were nsitting outside the window with their legs on the back of the seat!
That is a unique car and I hate to see it destroyed! it would certainly make a good family cruiser IF the frame can be safely repaired.
I have always loved those breezeway Mercury's. When I was a kid until I was about 6 or 7 a neighbor a block away had one and I used to just stare down the street to look at it and dream about owning it. Here it is 45 plus years later and I still dream of owning one but know it will remain nothing more than a dream because I am now disabled and on SSI and the money for such dreams just isn't there, but at least videos showing them are available for me to watch which is the next best thing.
That 390 sounds good! You need to invite Derrick to your or your dad's place and do a video together on getting a vehicle up and running.
When I was a kid one of my friends, Don, well, his father had a breezeway Mercury. It was already an older car even then, but in those days, a ten year old car was ancient. Well, he gave all of us boys a ride to the dairy queen or park or something and we all loved riding in the back seat with that back window down. That is what I think of when I see those cars.
Being a new york car explains why it has so much extensive frame rot they spread pure salt on the roads during winter conditions it's so sad I grew up with my parents owning several Montclairs I love they great Cars I sure miss them
With the rust, the idea of using the engine/trans in a different vehicle(s) would get my vote. That 390 would be great in one of the 60’s Fairlanes!
Good evening guys. I believe my first subscription was Derek, he certainly is a hard-working man and deserves a break. That 390 does sound pretty tight, I don't think it's a bad idea dropping it in puddin. You guys are always a joy to watch and keep up the great videos. May God be with you and your family Rev✌️🇺🇲
My dad had an all white/blue interior '65 Monterrey Breezeway. Even in those days as a kid I thought the three on the tree he dad in his was odd. But the 390 was a beast....and my dad did love to launch it.
Take a vote Rev, I vote swap it! You won’t regret it brother! Vise Grip Garage and Derek is one great mechanic and an amazing guys! The whole family and good people Rev, Derek explained what he’s had going on! I’ll just wait for his next video! Like y’all, I don’t know what I’d do if y’all weren’t doing video Rev, I love your content and your channel and you have an amazing family too even “the ole man “ and your mom too! I appreciate your videos and I learned today you have your hands full too brother Rev, do your business and if you’re not too tired to make videos! I can’t wait brother, I just appreciate y’all making videos when y’all can Rev and all of y’all are well appreciated! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 as always I’ll sending prayers and good vibes to all of y’all! Kirk from Louisiana and I thank you Rev! Deuces ✌🏻and May God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Loves the lines of that car, never seen one before. Hate to see the drive train pulled, ya she would take a lot of work but it deserves a frame off restore so more people can see and enjoy her.
Thanks for another fun video Reverand.
It may be really hot but at least you're both working on it in a place that's got a fair amount of shade.
YES DESTINE FOR THE TRUCK.
Have to watch it get dropped and see what it has for your burning tires. Don't worry you can always put the old one back in. Go for it Rev!
Rev I think that 390 would be better off in Pudding 😁 That Montclair is going to take a lot of work to fix those rails!
I've missed y'all, yes Sir I would love to watch you and the Ol Man change the engine in Pudden. Y'all be safe and God Bless y'all!! I love to watch y'all work and it's fun to see what y'all get into!!!! Coke went woke so we drink Pepsi.
Reverend David. Yes guilty as charged. But, saving the MontClair is a must. And it runs pretty good after starting up. Need to trim those tall trees. Congratulations great video. Now you could go on and flip it if you want. With those frame issues. Think I would. Let it move to a new home. Or yes the engine would be put to good use. 💯👍👊 Blessings 🙏🏻
Great seeing ya'all again. That 390 runs great. You should put it in something that is solid and sell it so someone can enjoy it!
A long time ago I had a big block Mopar rebuilt by a big city engine rebuilder. I complained that the colors they painted it were not the factory colors and they did not even match. For example, the intake and the valve covers and the block were three different purposes. They told me the reason was that they were painting every engine they rebuilt that season those colors for warranty reasons. So someone could not bring back an engine for warranty work that wasn't one of theirs from the warranty period. That may be why your Mercury engine is painted like Joseph's Coat.
Hey Rev…. If that frame is rusted as bad as you say it is…. There has got to be more on upward😉😉😉wink wink! I believe that ol 390 is destined for Puddin…. A good 4 core radiator… and add the AC so you will be as cool as you are balling the smoke from the tires… got my vote for the transplant… and air conditioning 💯❤️
Had one of those. Loved the power back rear window. Used to freak people out driving around.
Heya Rev, I've been thinking about it for a little while and it's understandable if you don't want to pull the 302 out of Puddin' but you do have some great alternatives like dropping the 390 and the C6 in a Falcon, a Comet or in a Galaxie 🤣 ..
I love it when the Ole man is filming, he does such a great job and commentary the awesome!
390 sounds healthy. Go for it, give Puddin that 266 hp 390 2v Torque is good to have in a truck. Put the 302 in mothballs until you decide where it goes.... like a Falcon. :) Those '65-68 full size Fords and Mercs had lots of frame rust trouble, this one sitting in the dirt about guaranteed it. Finding a good replacement used frame takes some looking.
Rev, i love the ole man miss mine very much. Passed away in 1980 when i was 24 years old. Love your show.gos bless you and your family.😊watching from NH. Take care.
I am grateful for mine as well.. Thanks for watching.
I just went and picked up my Dad's 65 Ford Montclair, she'd been sitting for 23 years but they weren't abused but that car brings back memories of my childhood in the all the windows down and that back window rolled down man but my dad passed away in 2000 and that's when the car was laid to rest I'm just glad she's home now with me factory black with a beautiful red interior
Wow... I wish this one wasn't as far gone as it is... Love the style.
@@RevStoration there's a few things I'm going to upgrade to make it even more enjoyable don't know why but it never had power brakes searching around to do a power brake conversion kit and I'm thinking about doing an AC unit but as long as I can remember dad always took care of that car yeah she needs some love after fifty plus years but they're worth it
Love the old intro. Great to have a video to watch.
I would love to see the engine swap! That would be really neat!
Ole Puddin's gonna LOVE having a 390FE. Gas mileage be darned.
That's a shame that the frame on that Mercury Montclair Breezeway has issues. Well I guess the bad part could be welded and boxed in to make it strong again. That engine doesn't even smoke and its a good runner. It would be a shame to just scrap it. I know you would get the good engine out of it but, you have to remember there are not many of those Mercury Montclair breezeways running around. Great video thanks for sharing.
I agree with your dad and fix the frame.That is definitely a unique car.
That's one of my favorite body styles of the 60s, but I've only seen them in that color, white, or black. I don't know if they came in any other colors, or maybe just those colors lasted longer. I have no idea. But I'm glad you saved it!
Not exactly sure what color blue this is ( there were a few) but there also was an Ocean Turquoise that was kind of dark and a bit more green than blue. A guy near me has one. My dad had a white one. I never read anything about limiting color options on the big Mercs ,Breezeway or otherwise
You can always build a mean V8 ford falcon with puddings 289-302 v8 sbf
I myself would like to have a about the same year but it was just a regular 4 Dr sedan and it didn't have the roll down rear window it was usually optioned with either a 390 or supposed to be a 460 I didn't believe that the 460 was out yet?! Mercury Monterey parklane
this is the car that got me to subscribe to your channel and Ive been waiting every since, Please Rev you and the Ole man bring it back to its former glory and maybe , a give away would be nice .P.S. LISTEN TO YO DADDY !!!!!!!
Brother unless you have a place to get free gas I'd leave that 302 where it's at lol. Every 390 I've had was a gas hog. All 3 of my trucks,67,68,69 has one. Love the video. Good to see the Old man again. God bless all of y'all.😊😊
My first car was a Meteor Rideau 500 with a 352 automatic. Loved that car.
I’m with you Rev. Shove that 390 in Puddin.
Love them ol 390's my first car was a 66 Ford Galaxie that I bought from Ford Garage in Wamego, Ks. Working after school & weekends
19:38 i would watch anything that you want to video it's not just the content that I watch your channel for it's the people the rapore you have i just love the channel
I was just thinking the same thing, put the 390 in Puddin! Do it Rev, swap engines in both vehicles brother! I’d love to see y’all do it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 My friend swapped his 302 out of his 79 F150 and put a 390 in the 79 and with just a two barrel carburetor it would squall the tires in a heartbeat Rev! Only thing was you need to swap the radiator also because my friend learned the radiator on the 302 couldn’t keep up with the 390! Just saying my friend! After we swapped the radiator he had no problem! Yeah it looks like the frame is rotten brother, I imagine it’s rusted everywhere along the frame too! Save that 390 Rev for ole Puddin! 👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼
I'd like to see you all get up under that rear and see why the passenger side is sagging. The "overload" shock absorbers can't be the reason since they are there to make up for sagging main springs. Well, unless they are both sagging on the right side.
Man. nice my folks had a 64 breezeway with a 390 when I was a kid, cool car !
I have been wrenching for 40 years. By FAR my favorite thing to do it paint cars. you will get great results with base/clear. Correct all defects and sand with 1000 grit before you hit it with the clear. Need a shelter over the top of the car for certain.
Hey, Mr Rev, I am a Coke Cola man here in Arkansas! I think you need to put that big motor in your pickup.
It was Nov 1978. I got home to Garner, Ark from USAF Basic and Tech schools, on my way to Ohio. I paid $65 for a 63 Monterey from a feller named Big Red. He had named the old girl Nezzie-belle. He gave me a carburetor float to put in it. I did, and I drove that car to Dayton. It used 2 quarts of oil per tank of gas. The heater was broke. I like to have froze. But I made it. I gave her away and bought a brand new 1979 Pinto. 😂
I had 3 '63 Monterreys including one S-55. They are such cool cars.
Hey buddy bless you all good to see y'all again good luck
Good video glad you and your Dad got the car going l bet back in the day that was a really nice car God Bless
Yes i agree i love the styling of the front of these cars and the side profile of the bodyline!!
Thanks for another , Padre !!
Crazy 'Bout A Mercury! Especially a '65 Montclaire Breezeway! It's too bad the frame is so rusty, the interior looks pretty good (or at least the seats).
love it
Great video guys keep up the great work!
Sorry been gone so long not been doing to good just wanted to say God Bless my friend and Hi to Nikki T 💟
Hey Rev! We are Coke here in Massachusetts as well! Keep up the good work! I’ll be watching! God Bless!
The Montclair is worth saving for someone out there, send her along to a good home
Another one looking good 😊
That 390 4V 300hp sounds good! Puddin would really move down the road with that engine and trans!
Love those 390s
Congrats on 200 years, hope you have lots of documentation and pics. 390 in puddin YES, or maybe the falcon!
Oh no! That’s your best car…Love that Montclair of yours.
Love the intro. Glad you put Nicki T's laugh back in. 😂
Those old Fords never quit!
Just resting for a minute.
Love that rear window too🤩
I agree rev, that 390 should go into puddin. I enjoy the content that you put out. Much love from southwest Missouri!!!!!
Hi guys! Years ago I remember a coworker of mine pulled into the employee parking lot with his full size 68 Ford wagon and I heard a loud crunch and saw the entire rear had broken away. Frame rot where your merc has it! He had it towed off to a junkyard. Hope you can save yours!
Great job Y’all!
Super nice shout out to the Pot County Legend, Puddin Fab Shop!!
Anytime you get a traffic ticket and you get pulled over. And you go to court to see the judge. Always ask the judge if you can be placed under advisement. What that means is they will give you a probation. Like the old man did and tell you in their jurisdiction. If you go 6 months without a moving violation, then they will take it off of your record. But that doesn't mean necessarily in a different jurisdiction. If you get a ticket there, that it will affect the ticket that you want to court for in that jurisdiction..
He wanted to see the judge but took the probation deal... He just has time and wanted to fight it...
Love it Rev and old man you remind me of when I was younger 😆 🤣 lol love your channel
I'm in love with this car
I just got to say! Happy 200 years for ur Church. She cranked-up like a dog on a Brisket.. If the creek don't rise the motor/trans
will go into Puddin's truck just fine. Sho-Nuff!
Miss you guys Rev!!!!!! Wish you put out more content!!! Very entertaining episodes….
Keep teaching brother dave.
G'afternoon Rev' ☕☕ 🤠 . I would pull the 390 & the C6 trans outta the merc & drop it in ol' Puddin' w/ a ratchet shifter pdq. Unless you have a stick trans for a big block kicking around for it ?. Either way the 390 will be more fun than the 302 🤠 ..
Enjoy this time with your father doing these projects... i truly am envious and wish i coukd do this with my boys
Good job guys
Excellent video Rev :) , Ole Man :) also yes that motor sounds low mileage since rebuilt and bet transmission done same time too! Also very good get up running too and any rebuilt motor or transmission shop do wonders in rebuilt Rev ! Yes be excellent motor & transmission for Puddin pickup truck and lots power too! I know 390 can do had one my first tow truck 1972 Ford F350 extended cab was 390 4 V with 4 barrel carb with hand choke cable knob in dash and also daul exhaust, with rare Column Shifter Manual transmission 4 speed type and then put 4×4 also 1968 International 1 ton Eaton D18 Creeper 4speed transmission with Bow Low First gear! Got 15 on highway and 10 local highway under 60 mph speed!
I wanna hear the back tires bark ! woof woof
I have been watching you all for some time now. Love the content! (even the dad jokes!)
I may not be alone....but that 390 may be perfect in the Galaxie.... ;)
Maybe the Galaxie engine in Puddin?
Great episode,be safe parking that car by that hill,take care.
Hey, that’s a great video guys. Hope you end up fixing the Montclair super running engine. Thanks for sharing.
Put the engine in pudding. That frame is toast. And keep up the great job. God bless yins all
The 390 in Old Pudin would be cool, the Mont Clair would be a massive project, chassis would need splicing, body mounts all of that, is it worth it, a 300 and a four speed in the Falcon would be cool, how is the Pinto, would be good with a five speed, you have a great channel David ❤ Super thanks from me, your channel is cool
I agree with ur dad. Fix it up. That back glass sold me that’s nice.
that 390 would be awesome in pudding be awesome if you swapped a little bigger cam in it with headers!
I say don't swap it.First, the truck runs great, better than the Breezeway already. Second, the Breezeway is much more interesting. I'd like to see you patch up the frame with some angle iron. It looks like a southern car except for the low point in the frame. And maybe that was from sitting close to the mud on the ground. The sheet metal doesn't look rusty. Let's start with a pressure wash, wipe down the interior, and get some brakes going. I can't believe even the parking brake didn't work. Did you say the drums were empty??
Hello Rev and Ole Man, that 360 will be perfect fer ole puddin
Great body style. Thanks
I really enjoy you guys and Derek! I owned a 65 Montclair and sold it 4 years ago. It had 202,045 miles on the 390 4V. It ran like new and the interior was almost new. It was in need of new paint. Great car!
God bless you guys.
Hello Rev and the ole man
I kinda have to agree with the ol' man. Quite a unique thing to see going down the road.
Definitely stuff that 390/c6 in ole puddin’. Right there with you guys on the coke vs Pepsi, and don’t do the donk badonk or whatever it’s called. LOL. That was good.
Amen on all of this comment. Thanks for watching
Okay. Good Sunday
Rev and Ol Man, howdy from Southern Il. If y'all decide to part with the Montclair, please reach out. Been looking for a 65 Monterey Breezeway for many years. The Montclair would fit the bill. Thank You in advance
Nice job rev
Great rescue Rev 👏 engine sounds great to bad the frame is shot. Us up north drink both Pepsi and Coke.
When I was a kid working in the gas station our window wash squirt bottles had window cleaner with a little bit of gas!
HAPPY Sunday REV one of my teachers in high school had one of those
Hairo I absolutely love that car I wish there was some way you can keep it and restore it if not at least find someone that can use all those parts that car brings back very fond memories of my grandmother used to get us in a lot of trouble when we tried climbing out on the trunk lid while she was driving LOL try to save it you don't see many of them I can't remember the last time I seen one on the road
Yes , parts car for sure ! Pull the drive train and research if any other parts are sought after and pull them to sell online. I would pull the seats too !
Fix the old girl! They've got heart ❤️ those cars do. Was in two of them. One blueish color as a school bus .... I remember because of the window in the back. My daddy had one too. Red with a white top. Both Mercury Montclair... unique ride. I started school in 1967 ...
