This is my 63 Merc. The story starts out with me wanting a classic car, Just like every guy dose.. I owned a 94 Stang that i flipped, almost doubled what i bought it for! Plus the money I got when a yellow cab hit me on the way to work, I used to buy the Merc.. I was looking threw classic car trader, penny saver, craigs list and ebay but everything was really pricey.. And then I pulled up to my dads house and there it was.. The neighbor had a for sale sign on it. They parked it right in front of my dads house like look buy me!! I was sceptical on it cus of the 4 door thing but it grew on me. My girlfriend said that car is cool, I wonder how much they want for it.. And I said to myself, ya I wonder how much they want for it.. The neighbor came out and talked to me about it, they were the original owners and the car grew up in California. It fired right up, All the crome trimming, hub caps and dash knobs were there. The car was Garaged most of her life. His mom took him and the kids to school in that car in the late sixtys. His mom passed it off to him and thats when it sat in a garage for a long time until he passed it off to his daughter, who was driving it to school and work. She loved the car but hated spending the money for fuel for the 289 V8.. After test driving it I knew I wanted it. The car was super clean with origanal owners and the price was right! The next day I went and got it. I remember that I was so excited I couldnt even wait until my girlfriend got off of work. Me and my goodfriend and his 69 Camaro drove down and got it. I drove it to work and back for awhile. It was my daily driver and I loved every minute of it.. I had to replace some old hoses and fix a gas leak, but other than that the car ran strong. Its got a powerglide 2 speed and I still drove it on the freeway. I put a big electronic distributer and over sized sparkplug wires in it. I had a little carboration problems so I bought a new carb for it. Then I put a little more money into it and got the Foose. 18x8 in the front and 18x10 in the back. Had to shave a little of the rear wheel well to fit those fat bad boys.. Then i got 3 1/2 inch flow master turn down right befor the back wheels, really brought the car to life, its loud.. The door handles, side mirror and tail light bezels were wethered. So took them into get redipped in chrome. The day I finished putting the parts back on the car I took it to my local car show that night. It looked so clean..

                The next morning I to take the trash out and I noticed my car was gone.. I dorped the bag of trash and ran back to my appartment. As soon as I hit the door the water works were on.. My girlfriend said mabey it got towed.. I knew it was half way to Mexico.. I made a police report and they would contact me if they got any leads. 2 weeks later we were out of that place and moved into my dads house for a while. Everyone said that I would get it back but it would be stripped and the wheels would be gone.. The months went by and I was begining to forget about the car. And there I was at work when I get a phone call from the police department telling me they have my car. I shit my pantes, I asked the officer if the wheels were still on it and he said yaa, everything is still here. I went and picked it up, had to pay 500 bucks for the inpound but it was worth it. Now its in my garage in costamesa safe and sound. I have a few more things I want to do to it. Tint the windows, new tweed head liner and radiator. I need the electrical redone because those fuckers cut my wire harness to bypass both my kill switches. So thats the story of my merc. I suggest to every guy who was a old car that gets attention to either put low jack on it or park it in a garage.  Thanks for looking.. Gil.
