When new, this Comet was campaigned in stock class throughout the Southwest in its 289/225 hp configuration, establishing a proven competition pedigree. Its most recent engine build was completed in 2015 at the renowned SoCal Speed Shop by Jimmy Shine, whose signature remains on the dash.

Mercury, one of Ford’s key divisions, occupied the sweet spot between Ford’s mainstream appeal and Lincoln’s luxury prestige. Established in 1938, the marque earned a loyal following before being discontinued in 2011. For many, Mercury cars evoke fond memories—particularly from the Fifties through the Seventies. Among its notable models, the Montclair stood out as a full-size offering, produced initially from 1955 to 1960 and revived from 1964 to 1968. Across five generations—some lasting as little as one model year—the Montclair exemplified the style and comfort of mid-century American motoring. This 1966 Mercury Montclair Hardtop, part of the fifth and final generation, represents the era’s take on entry-level luxury for the family. Showing just 19,000 miles, this Florence-based classic is ideal for seasoned collectors and first-time enthusiasts alike.
