    What a great deal! Larry must be a heck of a guy too! Are those cars 260's or 289's? Really excited to see the black one running soon. And Gee, that grille on the black car looks perfect (Looks like a baby Lincoln Continental!) Fun video, Kent!!!

    Hey, Kent. At the 9:00 minute mark, you were saying that someone should actually write a song about having 2 Mercurys...well, someone already has done that !! If you check out Steve Miller's song, "Mercury Blues", he is singing exactly what you are experiencing, my friend ! With lyrics like, "Had my money, I tell you what I'd do
    I would go downtown, buy a Mercury or two
    'Cause I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury
    Cruise up and down this road
    Up and down this road
    I'm goin' to buy me a Mercury now
    Cruise up and down this road
    Up and down this road..."
    Just thought I'd let ya know. You have a good one, sir ! Love your channel, and your kids, and especially your puppy !!

    If you put the white doors on the black car, it would be close to a police cruiser! I wouldn't bother, but it's a thought. I agree about the black one, mean machine. I'd use the white one to fix the black one. The opposite of what Larry was planning. I'd love to see a will it run. Awesome score, Kent.

    To get that black one on the trailer, I’d tie down the steering wheel so it’s straight and then take a chain and pully to pull that tow cable to the right to get it angled more center to the trailer. That’s what I’ve learned from my own experience of working with a towing and recovery guy and pulling some of my own vehicles out of some tight places.

      Since the black one is a manual trans change it to a t5. I did my 63 fairlane it was easy to change over. Use the bell housing that came with the t5 and the over all length will be the same as the old bell and trans.So no drive shaft change necessary.

      Need to add to my comment. The early small blocks had a 5 bolt bell housing but was changed to a 6 bolt design in 64 or 65. I used a 66/ 289 which has a 6 bolt bell bell housing. However I do reserve the right to be wrong on the 5 bolt to 6 bolt change.
