Thanks for the info! those are exactly what i was looking for. I plan on using the BF Goodrich tires you have also. I was thinking 275/60R-15. Watched your video, makes me want to drive mine that much more, still have lots to do before she is road worthy. Thanks for your help.

Nice looking Merc! What size are your wheels and tires? they look really good, I plan on putting the same on my monterey. If you know the wheel width and backspacing that would help alot. currently i am planning on buying a 15x8 with a -6 backspace 5x4.5 lug pattern. let me know if yours is much different please. Thanks!

Boy you don't have any idea how happy to see these '68 full size Mercurys being appreciated by you younger generation guys. My first brand new car was a 1968 Mercury Monterey premier coupe or 2dr ht fastback which was frost lime green metallic with a black vinyl roof and interior, 390 4bb (315hp), C6, PS,PB & AC. I took delivery of it on the day Dr. Martin Luther King got assassinated, we got married in the car (not literally) on Flag Day in 1969 and it was stolen on my wife���s 21st birthday, in October of 1969 out of in front of our house in Cicero, Illinois and never seen again! I built and pitted USAC stock cars back in those days and reworked that cars chassis and engine before it had 6000 miles and it ate up those famous SS 409s and 396 Chevelles with ease! I think I pis_sed off the wrong Chevy owner back then and he/she made it disappear. Check out a few of my older ���68 Merc. restorations in Kruse���s Pub. ���55 Years of Mercury���. Now, I got a ���56 Merc.4 dr ht Phaeton, a duplicate of my ���68 slime green Monterey, a one owner '68 Parklane convert. and a ���68 Monterey fastback Q code from Cal. that is a 428 CJ factory car. Keep up the good work. Look for me at Iola, Jefferson or the Dells, next year. John

Thanks for your really nice comments. I like your car a lot, too, but I like wagons the best. ;-) Bigger Is Better!
