Fuzzy Dice AutosIs excited to share this incredible, highly desireable 1949 Mercury Coupe Lead Sled Hotrod!This beauty came to us by a local collector who is no longer able to drive. He purchased this car completely restored and always kept it in a climately controlled garage.I have seen and sold many Mercury hotrods over the years but never one like this. This 49 needs to be seen and driven to be appreciated. Lets start its history: The car was built in 1999 by two professional restoration experts in Florida. One of the craftsmen told me that when they purchased the car it was unusually solid without a speck of rust anywhere. All the original metal was and still is intact on the vehicle. The restoration process took months to complete. In addition to all that you see, an adjustable suspension was installed making it simple to raise and lower the vehicle. It was six inches off the ground when it was sold to a collector in Vermont. The new owner had them lift the car as you see it now. It was sold at the Daytona show in 2000. The exterior:The paint shines like new. No blemishes anywhere. The chrome is brillient. Brand new look all the way around. The Desoto grill is massive and beautiful! The roof is dropped six inches. The headlights and taillights are French'd. As are the antenna ports. Hidden buttons under the rear fenders activate the door opener and trunk lid. The door handles, hood and trunk ornimants have been removed when it was nosed and decked. The car is lowered and is equipped with side pipes that are for show only. She does have duel glass packs. The caddy wheel covers, fender skirts and wide white tires really set this sexy car off! All in all it was a masterfull restoration! Nothing on the body was ignored Thousands were spent on the paint alone.Interior:The interior is tastefully done and in "like new" condition. The plush interior is immaculate. No rips, tears or blemishes anywhere. The same can be said about the carpeting, dash and gauge package. The car is equipped with power windows, power seats, power doors, power steering, power antennas and power disc front brakes and after market air conditioning that blows cold. Everything works to perfection.The floor pans and complete under carriage are original and excellent. Not a hint of rust or damage anywhere.I couldn't resist taking her down the road. The GM 350 small block and the 350 Turbo Highdromatic trans preformed like new. The car drives like new. Runs strong, fast and stops on a dime. The only annoying thing about this beauty are the people who constantly want to be photographed with it!I'm certain I've forgotten some special options but it's safe to say that with more then $70k spent on the restoration, this is one of the most beautiful "bad ass" hotrods out there!Unlike other classic car dealers who photograph their cars in professionally lighted studios or on Hollywood driveways, we at Fuzzy Dice shoot our treasures on our lot with nothing more then a point and shoot camera. So what you see is exactly what you get!We are offering this amazing vehicle at what we think is a very reasonable "Buy it Now" price. All we ask is that those of you that are "first-time" eBay clients contact us before placing your bid.Best of luck bidding!
