I'm looking at purchasing a 1968 Mercury Montego MX convertible.
This one has split bench seat or they might be called bucket seats. It's says it is a C4 three-speed automatic transmission. The shifter is on the floor. I have not seen any other Montegos with a shift on the floor. my other one was a shift on the column. My question is... was this an available option in '68 or has somebody modified it? |

The '68 Merc brochure shows buckets as optional on the MX, available on both hardtops & convertibles. Does yours have a console? Buckets were required for console. I have seen a few pics of 68/69 Torino's with buckets & console, but still had a column shift with a blank plate where the shifter would go, but those are quite rare.
![]() I believe the Mercs used the same console as Torino. Here's my '69 Torino console. ![]() Edited by schufitz - 21-September-2021 at 4:22AM |

Yes it has a console exactly like the one in the picture of the Torino that you just posted.
