1951 Mercury Other

Clear

Finished in black, the paint is in excellent condition . The body is solid along the beautiful lines that make this Mercury coupe. The chrome is in excellent condition and still has an incredible shine. Inside, you will find that the interior is in excellent original shape . The seats are wrapped in tan cloth and show no signs of wear or imperfection. The brown carpet compliments the seats and looks just as great! The dash appears to be the original dash, housing the original gauges. Aftermarket Oil Pressure & Temperature gauges have been added to the bottom of the dash to monitor the engine closely. There is also an AM radio & clock. Under the hood, you will see that this is not your everyday ’51 Mercury… the 255 cubic inch Flathead V8 has been tastefully modified and dressed up in chrome! The engine bay is clean and eye catching. The 255 has been bored .0060 over to a 274 cubic inch engine. Not a single thing was overlooked under the hood. The engine build includes Ertel 4 ring cast aluminum pistons, balanced Scat H-Beam rods, balanced crankshaft with a 4″ stroke, 3/4 camshaft, Paul Samarin aluminum Big Boy cylinder heads, Vertex magneto, Look distributor, Edelbrock aluminum intake, 450 cfm Holley carburetor, ARC air cleaner, Power Master XS starter, Fenton cast headers, March serpentine belts, Vintage Air & Heat and finally, it has been converted to a 12 volt system. The headers can be dumped right behind the front wheels through KKOA dumps – which sound awesome. Attached to the V8 is a Three on the Tree manual transmission. The car sits elegantly upon a set of 15″ wheels wrapped in P235/75R15 Goodyear white walls.
