1964 Mercury Park Lane Convertible. But what makes this car special?
Yeah, it’s got a hemi. 427 FUCKING CUBIC INCHES OF SOHC FREEDOM MOTHERFUCKING GOTDAMNIT.
NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER
And that monster is backed up by a 5-speed manual and a 3.89 Detroit Locker in the rear.
Scare the shit out of 3 of you unbuckled in friends in style for

Some people would spend 101 grand on a Nissan GTR. Those people
lack imagination.

This might be faster, too.

It will definitely feel faster. Like “Hug your best girl ‘cause you gonna die” faster.

The engine is worth more than the rest of the car.

I’m pretty sure a pic of me driving that would break the Internet more than the Sony hack. :) I’d take this over any generic supercar. :)

To be fair, the engine is worth more than most cars.

Not a bad thing either.

BTW I would recommend your comments, but Kinja doesn’t like Edge.

I particularly like that it has the I AM WHOLLY INNOCUOUS AND NOT SHENANIGANS steelies. It does need dog dishes on them, though.

Kinja uses a lot of nonstandard HTML stuffage that Chrome and Firefox support, but IE and Edge have not been so quick to adopt due to MS waiting for them to become official standards. It’s frustrating. Ex: You can’t make a title for a post when using IE Mobile on Windows Phone 8.1.
Of course, if Kinja would just stick to the HTML5 accepted standard we wouldn’t have this problem. I surrender my soul to the all-seeing lord Kinja and give command of my power to the Great Gawker

But what fun is it using the same coding everyone else is when you can create you own at great expense?

Those are probably the most expensive 661 horsepower ever to appear in a Mercury. Even the notoriously expensive (Chrysler) 426 Hemi is probably quite affordable compared to that souped up 427.
But it is both awesome and scary. Those grippy looking tires and high ground clearance should make it a really interesting driving experience.

10/10, would drive. I once had a client who drag raced a Mustang equipped with a 427 OHC in the 70s. He showed me pictures of it, told me he won quite a few races with it. Eventually, he got out of drag racing for one reason or another and the car ended up getting scrapped. I asked if the motor was scrapped with it - he said that it was. :(

I usually hate convertibles but that hard top is ugly! I’ll take the black one, much better that way.

WHY CAN’T I BE RICH? I would also take a nice malaise-y ‘75 Torino stuffed with one of those cammers.

Oh man imagine that 427 in that barge
People need to build more crazy-fast landbarges. I want to see an outwardly stock ‘50 Oldsmobile wiTH TWO GODDAMN HELLCATS

Those poor, poor rear tires...they don’t even know what’s about to happen to them.

I know. I had to take a second to collect myself, it was a big emotional blow. Especially since I was sitting there listening to him talk about how the car had just been sitting and I was getting my hopes up about maybe being able to buy it off him. :( :(

They’re M/T’s, they know exactly what’s about to happen.

YEP 427 SOHCs are way more than 426 HEMI especially since MOPAR has had a 426 crate engine program for a while now.
