looks to be a 1963. I would say try to sell it instead of crushing it. i'm sure you'd get interest, even on ebay. there is an appraisal guide in there as well. That looks to be 1 of 2317.

i'd say with the bucket seat console interior it would be pretty unusual if not rare. they came with 352,390,410 &the most sought after 427 and sell your mother for ,427 with dual quads
cale yarbourgh used to drive them

Whoa, big fella!!!!! Don't crush any old iron! Even Ford iron. I don't know how rare an S55 is, but it ain't real common. I'm sure some ford fanatic would drool over it. Titles aren't that hard to get with the old stuff, at least not in AZ. I'm sure you've got some money comin' on that thing, and I don't mean by the pound from the Chinese!

You got the right attitude, tnblazerK5!
I don't know what engine it is, cuz I'm not in to Fords, but that ain't no 427. You'll make some goodmoney on that thing though.

and if it is a m.e.l. block, which it looks to be, the pass. side exhaust manifold if it is not cracked is worth big bucks. they go for around 4 or 5 hundred repro...

try looking for a casting number on the block, by the oil filter or above the starter.
I've seen m.e.l. 's in lincolns.

i'm not saying that it is. it just looks alot like the 430 in my old lincoln. it seems that a lot of these cars did come with a 390. it just doesn't look like one to me. maybe it's all the old style accesories.

I couldn't see a good side profile on that car. Old full size Fords are still my favorite cars. It looks like a 63 to me. Many similarities to the 63 Galaxie's. If that has the fast back roof then you would have the 63-1/2 model. Plenty of great parts in there even if someone didn't want to keep it complete. The biggest problem with restoring Merc's is finding the bright work. The chrome trim just isn't out there and when you do find it you will need to give up both arms, legs and your left nut to buy it.
