This isn’t just another project rolling through the bays. This 1967 Mercury Monterey S55 has a hell of a story behind it, and it hits right here at home.
The owner is a local soldier from right here in our community. He started out as a customer, but over the course of this project, he became way more than that—he became a true friend and another brother to the shop. Every time he deploys, the car comes to us so we can grind on it and make sure it’s completely dialed in and ready for him the second his boots hit the ground back home.
He’s currently out on a two-year deployment, and he’s been asking for a Cora's Performance shirt forever. If a local brother is out there serving for two years, the least I could do was build him a custom shirt to match his ride.
Under the hood, we rebuilt this 428 FE engine into a 500 HP muscle car powerhouse, along with a fresh transmission and a ton of other work to make it solid. (I’ll drop a full breakdown on the actual vehicle build details in a later post!)
🎨 100% LOCAL & 100% REAL ART:
We wanted this to be special, so we kept everything right here in the community. The artwork was custom-designed by a local tattoo artist from a shop right here in our area. We believe in real art, real grit, and absolutely NO AI art bu****it. To top it off, the shirts are being printed by a local shop down the road. Local soldier, local artist, local printer.
