Hello everybody,
I hope I'm gonna do this right the first time ! So my name is Daniel (everyone calls me Danny), I'm 27 years old and I'm from Switzerland. I've been into american cars pretty much since I was born. I drive trucks for a living, and on my free time I like to ride my bike, drive my cars or tinker on them.
I recently fulfilled a 15 years long dream, I could finally put my hands on a Mercury Zephyr ( they are VERY rare in my country). Well actually I managed to find that there are only 3 sedans actually being registered as of now in Switzerland and I'm the proud owner of one of those 3 ! I first saw a picture of a Fairmont in a book when I was 12, and I promised myself I would have one one day. 15 years later the day has finally come, and I bought my Zephyr in April of this year.
It's a 1980 255 V8 Zephyr, 3 speed auto, bench seat, no AC. It's got 70k original miles and I drive it every day. It's almost rust free (a tad on the rear right fender), body's got a few dings and scratches, but overall a pretty straight car that starts every morning and gets me to work no matter what.
I'm not restoring it, but I'm putting it back in shape with hopefully a few little upgrades (very little, I like to have as original as it can be), like the brakes and such because I live in the mountains. Which is why I came here in the first place, because I will need advice, parts and such, and I hope to take you along with me while I put this baby back in shape. And hopefully when I get to know this car really well, to pay forward the advice I got to other people that need it !
I'll try to post a couple pictures of my Mercury here. I hope I've not been too boring, and I'm looking forward to chat with you guys !
Have a nice day
Danny
