- I stopped at a yard sale, and wound up buying a one-owner 1967 Mercury Commuter Wagon from the garage NEXT DOOR! This thing is a time capsule. Let's do this! Edited by VideoGuru:videoguru.page.link/Best

Sweet find. Glad to see wagons get some love.
@DocZoidberg549 Much of my childhood was spent in a station wagon, sitting in the back seat as my mom drove. My siblings and I rotated seats, depending on who yelled "shotgun" first. Great times. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage My Dad had a 65 Chevy wagon with a rear facing 3rd row seat. Best place to sit.
@@DocZoidberg549 Even better when the window was down!
My son has a 67 Parklane that looks exactly like this (minus the wagon portion, of course). Great find, my friend. Love the wagons!
@trashman1979 I remember falling in love with a Parklane when I was a kid. It sat in a driveway close to my grandma's house. Funny how things like that get stuck in your brain. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wow! That's in great shape! Congrats
I can't wait to get it going. I want to take the previous owner to Dairy Queen in it. He was 3 years old when his dad bought it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@mohawkgarage That will be cool.
@@Galona223 Yeah, his dad died about three years ago. I'd like to make a special trip in his dad's old car.
I remember when I was a kid our neighbors parents had the colony Park version of that wagon I thought it was very cool !
@@rickijimenez2386 The Colony Parks are awesome! I like them, too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hello Sean. That is a great find! She is super clean. I own a 65/66 Colony park wagon that my father bought brand new. Those hubcaps I beleive are from a 66 model year.
Get thos mice out of that car as soon as possible. I had mice get into my car over the winter. They got into the headliner and made a mess. I trapped over 10 mice and found 6 nests up there. What a smell! Im lucky they stayed away from the engine bay.

@servicetechnician3264 I'll make sure to get rid of any mice asap. I'd love to see your Colony Park wagon! Thanks for watching and commenting!
glad, she found a new home
Whoah cool! You nabbed it after just a peek-a-boo bumper protrusion!
Years ago, buddies of mine would think oddly of me when we'd find a 'wagon in decent shape. What a survivor!
I once asked a guy about his 1957 Corvette Fuelie that was under a car cover in his garage. He asked how I knew what it was. I said, "Well, I could make out the fuel injection emblem on the fender, and they started that in '57. Plus, there's only two headlights. "
I'm a true gearhead. lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Those vents were to redirect the air so you could drive with the rear window down without getting choked out from exhaust
@@TierodMcslush Such cool lines on this car. I dig the dash, too.
I thought they helped to keep the rear window clear of dirt and water.
@@wmalden Maybe both?
Great find
@@muddymo7641 I'm so excited! I'll be overhauling the fuel system over the next couple of days, as well as the brakes. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Beautiful ive owned a few old wagons but never a merc nice find
@@user-nq9en6xw9f Thank you! I rode in several wagons as a child, but this is the first one I've ever owned. Thanks for watching and commenting!
inpressive find, keep the update videos on it coming
@@novanut1964 I sure will! I'll be getting it running on a boat tank and electric pump while the gas tank gets cleaned this week. I'm having a ball with this car. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have had several 1964 chevy II nova wagons, i like all wagons
@@novanut1964 My first car was a wagon. My dad SOLD it to me. lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I was hoping you brought back the bubblegum machines and they were in the back of the wagon !
@@rickijimenez2386 I have loved bubblegum machines since I was a kid! I already have one in my house, but I've been thinking about the set that was beside the Mercury ever since I got the car. I promised the seller I'd come by his house once I got the car drivable, so I guess I'll get the bubblegum machines when I do that. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice wagon- I like it!
I'm very excited to get started! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love it. I would have bought it too.
@bighank796 Thanks for the vote of confidence! I've been tinkering with it all day. It's been challenging, as I'm in Florida, and it's hot and humid today. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage yeah, I'm hiding in a. C even in Massachusetts. I'm going to look up some info on those cars, I never seen one. I just read from somewhere that less than 3500 were made in 67?
@bighank796 I'd believe that. I've never seen a 410 in a wagon. Good luck in your search!
@@mohawkgarage does your car have a 410 or I thought in the video you had said it is a 390? The 410 I believe was a one year only engine, great, but strangled by too small of a 4 barell. I think only like 450 cfm
@@bighank796 Mine has a 390 with a 2 barrel.
Hi sean what a score well done thanks alot . Cheers mate🇦🇺
I'm so excited about this car. The owner and I both have lots of childhood memories of sitting in the back of Ford Station wagons as kids. He even found the tassle from his graduation in 1982 hanging from the rear view mirror. He drove the car as a teen. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The engine appears to have had a smog pump at one time. If original it should have had an elbow on the air cleaner base to connect to oil filler cap. Are you sure it is a 390? Could also be a M code 410-4V or Q code 428-4V. Check your VIN. The body looks to be in great shape. I have a buddy that recently picked up a 1969 Colony Park wagon. Very nice find.
@scottbenke7182 The air cleaner lid says 390, but I will confirm tomorrow. I'll also check out the elbow. Thanks for the excellent information. I hope your friend enjoys his Colony Park wagon! Thanks for watching and commenting!
1st yeah ha grandma 😂 sweet wagon looks very clean, cool adventure Sean 😎 🍻🍻🇦🇺🤝🇺🇲🦘🏔🌨❄️
@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS I'm so fired up! I can't wait for the morning so I can get to work on it! Hope all is well with you, buddy! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage I bet, can't wait such a rare car, enjoy 😊 🇦🇺🤝🇺🇲🦘🏔🌨❄️
@@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS I'll have another video tomorrow night. Gonna try like hell to get it cranking. It's gonna be a blast!
@mohawkgarage awesome I'll be watching 👀 🍻 🇦🇺
Great find that looks to be in really nice shape!
@CM-sy6ud I can't wait to make a road trip in it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pretty Car
@billylittleton3395 Thank you! I sure do like it so far. The styling is so cool. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice car! Many years ago I bought a 1967 mercury park lane 4 door, It was dark green color on the outside. beige interior. It had the 410 v8 4 barrel carb. Found out later from some one that the park lane only came in the 410 v8.
@@gened7756 Whoa! I've heard that the 410 was/is very rare. This one has the garden variety 390, but I love it so far. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’d bet the thing starts right up without too much effort. My family had a 65 Commuter. It would float down the highway. It was a great car!
@@doug8525 I hope so! I'd love to get the a/c working and take it on a road trip. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The vents on the back channels air to keep the rear window clear
@@32ducecp That makes total sense! Thanks for watching and commenting!
those were good cars.you lucked out.
@@Larry-jv6he I'll be attempting to start it later today. I'm so excited! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I hope it is a 410 because they are so much better.
@@Dwayne-mb2uj It's a 390. Oh, well. I still dig it! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I took my drivers test in the wagon with the wood on the sides.
@brendagoodwin7365 Sweet! That may have been a Colony Park wagon. It was the model with more options. Thanks for watching and commenting!
2 way tailgate on it too !!
@@mrbill8542 I'm trying to get the electric window working right now! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage good luck-great find !!
@@mrbill8542 The entire car is so well-kept...it's doing everything right so far. The window is the ONLY THING that doesn't work yet! Thanks again for watching!
Had a 66 breezeway in college.
@@davescrimshaw7781 So cool! My parents had some Ford wagons in the 1970s, but I don't recall any 60s Mercurys. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage well, I remember their green 54 ford, black 57 Mercury & 61Merc.
@@davescrimshaw7781 Nice! Sounds like they had some cool rides!
Smog pump in 67 not sure about that
@giff427dg I've not seen any smog stuff. Was the pump installed in all 50 states? This was built in Jacksonville, Florida. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just found your channel I liked and subscribed...I see you're in Florida what part? Reason I ask Is I lived in Florida for over 30 years moved to Michigan a year ago... Good luck on the car..
@Robert-qh2jp I'm on the eastern side of Tampa Bay. I've lived here for about 10 years. It's hot, but it's cool! lol
Thanks for watching, liking, commenting, AND SUBSCRIBING!!!!
What part of Mi?? I'm transplant to Az from Bloomfield, Mi.
@@jamesscherrer1642 Small town called Alma..love it here
OH! I know Alma!! Right on! Awesome part of the State. That's really very cool, Robert. Thx for the feedback. I'm sort of home bound except for Chemo/RAD treatments every day and your side of normal is very welcome in my world. Thank You for your response. I LOVE THAT! ALMA. Who would have thought. Peace and much happiness to you and yours. Love from the Phoenix area out here in Arizona.
@@jamesscherrer1642 I know exactly what you're going through I go to the VA in Saginaw for my treatments..You be blessed my friend.....
How much?
@JohnMurphy-dw6ml Not sure if you're asking how much I gave for it or how much I'd take for it. I may sell it eventually, but not right now. Ask me in 30 days! My life changes quickly! lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage how much did you pay for it?
@@JohnMurphy-dw6ml I'm going to keep that between myself and the seller. Thanks!
@mohawkgarage why does everyone make the price "top secret" u either got a great deal or over paid, either way someone is a dumbass...
