This is a 1966 Mercury Montclair that's been abandoned in a barn for 26 years. The Mercury has a great story and was owned by Emmy Award Winning Screenwriter John Vlahos. A kind viewer of the channel recently bought the property and asked me to save the Mercury from the crusher. The collection of acorns in the barn was a sign of what's to come as I found the largest mouse nest I've ever seen during the detail. One of the most challenging and intensive clean-ups for sure but all worth it to donate the Mercury to a generous subscriber. The big reveal at the end was amazing and was very special to save this vehicle. Enjoy the episode and thanks for all the support! - L

Oh man, with everything going on in the world today, I needed this. Not only to see incredible people investing time and energy into preserving a great legacy, but also to see the investment in future creativity through programs like ASAP. Thank you, Larry!

The Montclair 4 door sedan was one of the cheaper Mercurys built in 66. However compared to todays car it stands out like a jewell. My Aunt and Uncle had a 65 Mercury very similar to this in Turquoise and I remember it well. They owned it for five years, which was a long time for them. Congratulations to the new owners. I think they will be good caretakers. Great work on the detailing. I have learned some good lessons.

You're a very brave man, tackling a car like that... I would be really frightened to even open that car, knowing that there's a big chance some kind of rodent will come and jump at you. But besides that, the smell and the unbelievable amount of mess the rodents left behind ... I shiver at just the idea! So you, my man, have my deepest respect!

What a beautiful car. It’s a 1966. My parents owned a Monterey of that year Breezeway edition where the rear window when up and down. First car I ever drove. Brings back memories
