1977 Mercury Monarch
1977 Mercury Monarch

Is that a Mercedes? Uh, no.

What the hell was wrong with us in the 70s?

  • Ford Falcon chassis (basically) – is this what the Mustang would have become, if it didn’t turn into a Pinto?
  • 250 OHV I-6 from a John Deere
  • It had a 4 speed stick (unless it was a 3)
  • Was unable to handle golf balls from, uh, space, without dimpling its trunk.
