The 70s was a dark time in the American automotive industry; the large American machines were soon to be axed off their production lines for smaller, efficient motoring; this was all due to the impending oil crisis. With smaller efficient imports taking control of the market, the 1970 Mercury Monterey Convertible we have today perfectly represents the last living giants.
Full-sized American motors from the 70s were indeed "full" in size; it is quite the task walking around this 1970 Mercury Monterey Convertible, but once you do, the iconic blue exterior and iconic styling make for most of your time spent gazing at the car and truly relishing every drive behind the wheel. The exterior is in great shape, and a white convertible top is in place for that picture-perfect shot as you drive by. Serving as shoes is a set of chrome Cragar-styled wheels. The blue exterior is fittingly matched with a blue interior on this 1970 Mercury Monterey Convertible; step-in and bench seats bring comfort and match the low-down smooth drive feel this car hopes to bring to the table. Once you are in and comfy, the interior showcases all its original features, giving you a better road feel is the original blue steering wheel; looking around, you will find interior trim that's factory and proudly showcases its history through just the right amount of patina.
With fuel-sipping motors taking control of the roadways during the 70s, big old American V8s slowly started seeing their way out of production floors. Pop open the hood of this 1970 Mercury Monterey Convertible, and you will find a ginormous 429ci (7.0L) V8 powertrain. Look closely, and you will find Edelbrock valve covers, air filter housing for added aesthetics, and an Edelbrock carburetor ensuring optimal power delivery. The big old V8 motor is the only powertrain fit to take on the arduous task of ferrying this giant American machine and its passengers in comfort and luxury. The current owner reports that the car has rear disc brakes to ensure better stopping power. While it might not be a performance machine, this car's slow and smooth performance is channeled to its rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
Mercury was one of those brands under the Ford umbrella in the United States. Positioned in the mid-range segment, the brand bid adieu to the world in 2011. Over their 85-year existence, Mercury has made some lovely classic cars that are highly desirable today. This 1950 Mercury Coupe is one such example. It reportedly underwent a restoration in 2011 and has 50,000 miles to its name. It's also a restomod of sorts, as it's got a newer engine and some creature comforts.

If you were flush for cash back in the 50s, you sure were spoilt for choice; visiting your local dealer was a treat as you gazed upon the golden era of the American automotive scene. While the Chevrolet of the time was the name of the game when it came to luxury motoring, the adventurous car buyer could opt for something you wouldn't see too often and drive off in a car like this 1953 Mercury Monterey we have today. Built to stand out, this classic American machine aims to turn heads and represent a time gone by.
Mercury is an American automaker that has long since been mothballed. But the storied brand has been pivotal in the development of America's automotive landscape. The brand was sat between Ford's mainstream lineup and the more luxurious offerings of Lincoln, while the Town Sedan was a medium-priced entrant to the lineup. It was the mid-market family car of its day, and offered a four door sedan in a conventional yet timeless design. Our featured car has reportedly been meticulously restored and features a host of new components that should ensure trouble-free running for many more years to come. This 1939 Mercury Town Sedan features a 350 cubic inch V8 engine, an automatic transmission, and a reported 55,000 miles on the odometer.
The famous French designer Paul Bracq deserves a round of applause from all European auto lovers around the globe. He is the creative mind behind Mercedes-Benz's most glamorous and desirable models. Among them, the Pagoda is a cherished example built between 1967 and 1971. The one Pagoda nickname stems from the design of the hardtop roof, which is similar to the roofs of traditional Asian pagodas. It was also called the Mercedes-Benz W 113 and made history as the first sports car with a "safety body." What we have here is a 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL showing just 47,700 miles on its clock. Its owner claims that they are the second owner of this car, and it is mostly original. It currently resides in California and is awaiting its next lucky owner.
Introduced in 1967 alongside its Pontiac Firebird sibling, the Camaro posed a genuine threat to Ford’s Mustang. Competing in the pony car space, you’ll find distinctive camps of Mustang fans and Camaro fans. And then, you’ve got those who want (or already have) one of each. Either way, we’ve got a second-generation 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 up for sale to one lucky owner. This car comes with some lovely modern features beneath the skin, including a new engine that’s far more potent than what the car received at the factory. Furthermore, it’s got just 2,000 miles on the clock since its makeover.
Chevy’s Impala was the famous Bowtie automaker’s full-size offering for many years. It appeared sporadically between 1957 and 2020 and made it across ten generations. The Impala is named, as you may suspect, after the African antelope of the same name. It quickly won favor with the American auto-loving public due to its diverse array of body styles and, of course, V8 power. Up for sale today is a third-generation 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop Restomod, which reportedly packs 45,000 original miles. But, it’s received a comprehensive do-over, more power, and some modern comfort features.
