It´s time for the Slab picture thread

At Keith McCormick's car auction in Palm Springs, November '24. Same place where @DocMcNeedy bought one of his Imperials.

Shaky video like all the ones shot with a "phone"... unwatchable - makes me dizzy.
 
Thank you, I appreciate that! I also saw this too from FBBO with the posted video….

@1967Monaco500 posted in Feb 2023 that he bought the L-code blue Monaco at the November (2022) Palm Springs auction:


He hasn't been seen here since Dec 2024.
 
As seen on MyClassicCar with Dennis Gage, I remember seeing this car at Carlisle in 2020 but never again since. The car has a 360 and Mercury Gran Marquis seats in it….

VERY handsome, especially the skirts and correct wheel covers, snazzy color, too.
Lads --
The best thing about this car is that it's the virtual twin to the one I had in 1964-1967 (see pic). I special ordered it (426-S, 4-speed, PB, radio delete, Medium Red Metallic with matching interior, but not the vinyl top) and took delivery delivery at about 1:00 PM on Saturday, 11 Nov 1964. At about 8:00 that evening, I happened to encounter a friend in a '64 Goat (360 HP/389 CID, 3 pots, 4-speed) at stop light on Main Street in my old home town of Pueblo, CO. Some 3-4 blocks later, he was in my rear view mirror and I was indicating 85+. Incidentally, shortly after that pic was taken, I married that girl (she's still stuck with me) and she had no problem driving that big, heavy 426 with no PS and heavy-duty clutch -- even in high heels.
