This is a CA car that we recently transported to Idaho where the owner has relocated. The Mercury has over $72,000 invested in the restoration/build with receipts and photos in hand.Simply beautiful 1956 Mercury Monterey 2 Door Hardtop with show-stopping red and white exterior paint along with a fully custom black/red leather interior. You’ll find a 4.6L fuel injected V-8 engine from a 2014 Ford Mustang GT under the hood along with a dual exhaust and an overdrive automatic 4 speed transmission, plus this gorgeous classic is fully equipped with four wheel disc brakes, power windows, power locks, a custom stereo with 8 speakers and two trunk-mounted amps, staggered Foose wheels (18” front/20” rear) and a Viper alarm. This outstanding classic is in excellent shape as well and it is ready to be enjoyed immediately.Fully Customized with Only 715 Miles on Modern BuildThis 1956 Mercury Monterey Hardtop was purchased back in 2010 as the 4th total owner. This is a CA car that has moved to Idaho in the last 6 months. This Mercury has underwent a multi-year, frame-off complete restoration to restore it to better than new condition in virtually every possible way possible with over $72,000 invested with receipts in hand. The entire build is highly documented as well so there’s no guesswork involved with this beautiful classic. With a modern fuel injected drivetrain and extensive upgrades to the suspension, axles, exhaust and brakes, this is closer to a modern performance car wrapped in a ’56 Mercury frame/body. The curb appeal and ride quality are sensational!
Additionally, this 1956 Mercury Monterey Hardtop is gorgeous in person with an immaculate body and true show quality paint and trim work. The undercarriage is just as impressive and this stunning example could easily pass for a brand new classic vehicle by most collectors’ standards. The highly customized interior is also pristine with lots of convenience extras and an amazing sound system. The photographs do not do this one a bit of justice- it takes your breath away in person with “Best in Show” potential on most stages.
