Default Re: Oddball Muscle Cars

1957 Mercury 2-door post 3- speed with the M-335 opt and 335 hp
368 cid engine 2x4 barrel carbs ported heads. Bill Stroupe built engines for these production cars this was also the NASCAR package.

There was also a high-performance M-335 version built mainly for racing, named for its horsepower with twin four-barrel carbs and tighter compression.

Damn things ran in B/Stock in 65'. Must have 'ripped' up some
'Heinys' up there in Ontario. Only 2600 lbs. and some change.
Dead-on 13.00's, must have grabbed a few GTO Tiger Tails!
