Vehicle Detail
Mild custom! Door handles, hood ornamentation, and trunk handle and ornament shaved, making this Mercury look sleek and hard to tell that it is a four door and enhancing the symmetry of the door window arrangement. The interior upholstery is in near perfect condition and matches the original interior color of the car. The flathead V8 engine is original and has never been painted and purrs like a kitten. Equipped with a three speed transmission on the column, no overdrive, it runs perfectly. Has heater, and radio. It has been converted to a 12V system and an electric fuel pump has been added so you never have to worry about vapor locking. The two tone paint is pretty near perfect, white pearlescent with a slightly green shade and grey with a silver flake make it look great in the sun. All chrome is perfect, and has period original spinner hubcaps, comes with fender skirts, and extra parts. No disappointment here, you'll fall in love with it! Has won many awards at car shows. $500.00 deposit due within 24 hours of the end of auction, will assist with shipping, have a notebook with documentation of some restoration costs, mostly parts. Previous owner said it had been in a car museum in NM prior to his father purchasing the car. This is a beautiful car that is well preserved!
