It has to be a rare car 390 4 speed? I called the guy and he has the build sheet. He thinks its a 1 of 4 ever built

Wow, nice Merc. I had a friend in high school who had a Torino with a 390 & 4 speed. So, are you going to buy it and restore it?

Looks like the body is in decent shape. I imagine the count of 4 speed full sized Merc of that vintage were low. I've seen one S-55 with a factory 428 & 4 speed in my life, never a 390 with a 4 speed. Nice find!

How could that have escaped the salt worms in OH? Amazing condition.

Have you looked up repo parts? might be a nightmare. Like the body style though and it looks pretty clean

Well no, but that is one of the reasons I like it so much as it isn't loaded with exterior bright work that would be hard to find

Nice. There has been an ad in the Martinsville Bulletin (VA) for some time now for a 65 Marauder. Haven't had a chance to look at it yet. I've got some front end parts I was hoping he might want.
