Rare Mercury M100 Pickup | Final Year of Production | Original 360c. i V8 | C6 Automatic Transmission | Power Brakes | Power Steering | Deluxe Marti Report | New Arrival!
LaFontaine Classic Cars is excited to offer this Holly Green over Black head turning 68' Mercury Pickup! The 1968 Mercury M-100 is a rare Canadian-exclusive half-ton pickup. As the final year of production it was mechanically identical to the Ford F-100 but featured distinctive Mercury badging. These highly collectible trucks are prized today for their unique history. Built at Ford's Oakville Ontario plant and exclusively sold in Canada through Lincoln-Mercury dealerships. With only 7720 examples being built these were not common in the day and are exceedingly hard to find today!
This truck was delivered to New Westminister BC and remained there from 1968-1983 before moving to Ontario (84'-26') and was then brought to MI just earlier this year. This is a great example of a well-maintained truck that was essentially a survivor before having the exterior repainted in the correct Holly Green some 30 years ago and it still shows very well today with only minimal imperfections. The interior remains highly original and is in great condition for its age! The only variation from stock is a replacement AM/FM Radio.
Under the hood boasts a freshly serviced 360c. i. V8 and adding to the drivability are power brakes power steering and factory dual fuel tanks with a combined 44 gallon capacity!
The underside of this pickup is solid and free of any rot! It shows signs of the regular consumables having been replaced over the years and overall the condition matches that of a well kept original truck. The 9inch rear end out back spins a 3.25 gear while the truck rolls smooth on a newer Cooper Whitewall Radial 15in Tires. This truck is a pleasure to drive and does everything it's supposed to do well! In our short time as caretakers its been inspected serviced and driven 250+ miles without issue!
Included with the truck is a Deluxe Marti report Clean MI Title and a dust cover.
