The bike is gone, as of 8pm last night...

[Guest human4m]

Well I made a short trip to Wilmington last night... (about 60 miles) Met up with a fella' who wanted a motorcycle, and he had what I wanted... So we did the trade... With a baby on the way, this is a more practical toy...

 

My New '65 Mercury. The license plate will say HAYLEY (if it's available) I'm pretty stoked!

Anyhow, even though I gave up riding, I'll still check in with you guys, keep ya' posted about the lil' peanut the wife is brewin', and lookin' forward to Boomer's one-liner signatures!

That is a cool looking car.

[Godlover]

Looks like fun!! Enjoy.....

You'll get another someday!

Things will change and you will ride again!

[Mariner Fan]

Most guys give up on the bike when they have kids. I'll bet you will have a bike again when they grow up. Nice car!

This thing is already so far from original, there would've been no point. The wheels are the next things to go.

[Cougar]

NO NEW wheels with that lil peanut on the way. sorry

nice car.!

[Hummingbird]

I'm the furthest thing there is from being a Ford enthusiast but that is one NICE car.

 

I do have a question - is it a 10 footer ? or more.

[eusa1]

the dog dish wheels on it now look good with some 60 series white letter tires on all 4 corners

send us some more pics!

my dad liked that era of merc and the falcon also.. I had a 68 that i liked and alwasy wanted a 2 door 68 or at least that body style... easy hot rodding material to say the least.. my 68 had a 200 six cylinder in it and i got 30 miles to a gallon which i thought was just great...

 

good luck and if you have a love for bikes youll be back sooner than later.

 

i bought a 46 chevy coupe when my first daughter was born, started in on it and slowly did some trading around for different things to be done to it and then all the sudden the wife tells me we are having another baby 15 months later, so the coupe flew the coupe...lol

[Grandpagak]

awsome!!! had one and loved it.. but it has been many years ago.. i thinks mabe 1974??

[hipshot]

comet "caliente".

bad to the bone, for it's class!

nice looking "trade".

just jt

[Guest human4m]

Just figured I'd post some more pics of the new ride... The wife said "I wish you would have gotten a truck..." So now I'll be trying to trade this for a truck! Jeez... Woulda been nice if she had said something BEFORE I did the deal, woulda saved some $$ on title work.

 

BTW- The paint isn't faded, that's just morning dew...

[Monty]

My Dad is asking how much you want for it. Shoot me a price if you're selling it.

[csogbk]

I hope you got some cash too, I mean it was a Venture after all!! J/K, congrats!
