1965 Mercury Montclair Marauder

Description for Mercury Other 1965

1965 Montclair Marauder fastback. All original, even mostly original paint. Original 390 block in car but is seized. Some rust in the usual places (rear quarters) but floors and frame are good. Original hubcaps are not shown but included. The chrome trim on this car is worth what I am listing the car at. Clear WA title. No reserve!
Note: I bought this car because it had a complete set of the very rare side trim, in very good condition. Includes the Marauder badges. It's all there and all original. Was a barn find, I cleaned it up a little, replaced the broken windshield, and broke down the motor. The guy that sold it to me said it was just a head gasket, but the block is fully seized and you can see scarring on some cylinder walls. I do have the heads, intake, original carb, exhaust manifolds, etc. Not part of this sale but are available to the purchaser.
Trans appears original and fluid does not smell burnt, but engine has fouled oil. Bonus, chrome oil pan!
Exhaust has been cut out front and back, x-pipe is still there.
Motivated to sell. More detailed pics can be seen at:

Feel free to ask any questions. Straight car, all original time capsule. All I did was wash the barn dust off, put like half a small can of bondo on one little spot, plus some extra parts I had, little touch up paint, rust preventative paint, and I replaced the broken windshield. The motor, if you want to save it, I did a lot of that work for you too. Good, solid car. Windows roll up and down, doors open and shut well. Deserves to be saved.
