I want to import an old Mercury Pickup some day. Instead of flooding OPPO with all of these individually (don't tempt me) here's a pile of them to enjoy:

What you're saying is that you want to buy yourself a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road?

Haha, that's fine I want the dark blue one with the white grille just underneath it

You have educated me, I never knew Mercury made trucks.

Good luck, you'll need it. I've been driving in Canada for over 20 years and I've never seen one in the flesh. Remember just how small the Canadian market is compared to the US - Canada has a population equivalent to California's.

Your best chances may in fact be to buy one that has already been imported. American truck aficionados have been finding and importing them for years now.

Actually it would be my 2nd classic mercury so I'd want to "buy myself a Mercury or two"

ha HA! I got you!

And they were Canada market ONLY.

Which is weird because they stopped selling Mercury in Canada well before they stopped in the US. I mean, they even sold them in the Middle East longer than they sold them in Canada.

If I find one in the US one day, even better! Saves me the import efforts!

I've seen them for sale online. Only one on hemmings right now and it's 60 freaking thousand.

I can dream right?

It's a big son of a bitch isn't it?

M-600 it was called from my google search

Love the old COE trucks. I've noticed that these are gaining in popularity for hot rodding.

They are wild looking trucks. And HUGE. This is a "must own a barn/2 story garage" type of truck. Because there's no way it fits in a normal garage

Wouldn't it be a billion times easier to badge-swap a Ford than to Import a Mercury?

Man if that first one was over in Ontario I'd be across the border in a few hours to go see it

Wrong side of the country haha!

I do see them at car shows pretty often, Internationals too!

I know it is that's why I'm upset!

Internationals were sold here too, those are really cool trucks as well.

And you got me searching the Windsor Ontario area. I need to get off Kijiji before I get myself in trouble.

Ya they are! My dad works at an International dealer now and see's lots of those old rigs.

But it is the best kind of trouble! Could become MercuryMan562

I've had thoughts of trading the Montego for a Cougar a few times, if that happened I'd definitely go with MercuryMan562.

God I'd love to have one of these, but if we get another classic it has to be the wife's choice this time...

I do love the grille on it but man that one would be a ton of work.

Would be a wild garage though with that Willy's Wagon and the Montego.

Oh my fucking Lord, is that an electromagnet? I will have this truck under any circumstances, damn my obsession with the Ferrari FF, damn old BMWs, I forget anything fast have ever been made. I will own this truck and I will arbitrarily ruin people's days.

HAHAHAHA

It's a big ass old tow truck, that's not an electromagnet.

Sorry to ruin YOUR day. It is in fact, all kinds of awesome though.
