I am taking a trip to buy another old dead car that will need a full revival. The Old Man and I will look to buy it; NikkiT and I will look to start it for the first time in at least 16 years. We will attempt to give this Old 1965 Merc Life from the Dead. She has been sitting for 16 years! Can she be resurrected? Is a Revival Possible? Will no fire halt the revival? Will she start for the First time in so many long years? All these questions answered on this episode of RevStoration.
What should be name the Car?
Please like, subscribe, hit the bell, and come back for more crazy episodes on RevStoration.
Some have asked how they could send us stuff. If you want to, send it to the love box! (Think of the beeper days!) P.O. Box 143 Porterdale, GA 30070 - Thanks ahead of time!
Thanks for watching!!

Love Love Love this one!! Just got to share this same experience on Thursday. I mentioned I'm an International Scout guy on a Puddin video. I just drug a 76 Scout II out of a field up in central Kansas. It's been sitting since 1995 or 1996. Got it home and immediately poured some Mystery oil down each cylinder, dropped the tank and cleaned it, cleaned out the fuel lines, replaced the fuel pump and swapped out carb since the original was rusted shut. Checked the rest of the vitals (oil, coolant) setup the 'hot wire' it as it didn't come with a key, but hooked up the remoter starter button and she came back to life! A little tuning on the carb and she sat there and idled on her own for the first time in ~25 years!! Looking forward to the progress on that ol Mercury, that engine sure sounds healthy!! Sending peace and love from us to y'all, and please tell the Ol Man I said hey! - Darren in TX

I'd put power stearing fluid in see if hose leak and so you don't burn up the pump . really love the car my Grandparents had one when I was a kid loved riding in the back going to church back window up and down was so cool think it was a 66.. Steve Miller did A good song You were singing it . check with a timing light might be a good idea. you going to name it , Mer-See would be a good one the way it turned fired up the 1st time can't wait for the next post I hit the bell for next one Wes here in Johnstown Pa.

Wes, I think when the car was taken off of the flatbed it was forcing the fluid from the pump and got air caught in the lines... I needed to turn the wheels to get the air out of the line... I added more fluid as well. Steve Miller did do a great job on that song and I think a blues guy did it before him. Thanks again.

Good pick. Those old Merc's are a hard find up North here, since many are more rust than diamond's these days. The FE blocks were far better engines than many other's back then. Added plus is the front brakes are disc on these, as 65' was the 1st year to get that. Best wishes on the rest of your year. Have a great day you two.

Somehow you popped up in my feed. My first car back about 1973 was a 65 merc Monterey. A few years later I got another badly used one with a 3 on the tree an no muffler. That car had so much power you could baby it thru the gears and not be loud!. Great video and merry Christmas to you an your family.

Fer once it wasn't a nightmare. Just give it a through tidy and change all the fluids. That car was built to compete with Oldsmobiles and Chryslers. Do you think it has the onions? Keep up the good work. Next get a real points file. About $1.50 on Fleabay.
