Vehicle Detail
1950 merc leadsled runs and drives chopped top i put the body on a very nice 1992 caprice chassis so it has air conditioning heat,power steering ,driver and passenger air bags,twighlight headlights,factory bose amp,speakers.aftermarket cd player.fuel injection, abs,tilt wheel ,cruise controle,disc brakes,v8 fuel injection,overdrive trans.and the whole bit.and everything works.i bought the capice from a older couple that took very good care of it,nothing wrong with it at all when i got it .it had no rust anywhere.everybody told me i was crazy for cutting the body off because the car was so nice.floors are beautiful not even any surface rust on them.they still have factory paint underneath.the former owners kept it garauged its whole life.but it will need front brake pads.they squeek i may change them before the auction ends if i have time.i just had new stainless true dual exhaust on it its a ltz 350 sounds awsome,maybe a little loud for some ,it has the 1950 merc body put over the caprice floor and dash excetra so the underneath looks like a brand new car and if it breaks down on you just go to the parts store and get the part for a 1992 caprice and go.you could drive this car accross the country comfortably.does need finished it is still a project but goes down the road nice.also im giving you another 50 merc as can be seen in last 3 pics.motor and tranny in that one does not go.but everything else in those pics do.if u want it.if your coming from far away we can just cut what you want off and take it with you so you dont have to take both cars back. i mainly wanted the back of the quarters and the roll pan and panel under the trunk.to replace where this car was customized in the fiftys.it also has the tailights in it and headlights.cash when you pick it up and i need paid within 5 days ,if you want to send the money ill store the car for a few months if needed.also dont try bidding and winning the auction then coming and trying to jew me down it wont work and youll be making a long trip and going home with nothing.look at the pics good ask as many questions as you need but if you buy it you buy it.i hate to sell it but i need the money to finish another project i have.this could be a very awsome old school leadslead whith a all new car ride dependibility.

THESE CARS ARENT CHEAP I GOT 2K IN BODY 2K IN CAPRICE AND 2 K IN THE PARTS CAR THAT GOES WITH IT.AND THATS NOT COUNTING ANY OTHER PARTS, MATERIALS OR ANY LABOR SO FAR OVER THE BUILD SO FAR.SO SOMEONE COULD REALLY GET A GREAT DEAL ON THIS CAR.ID LOVE TO FINISH IT BUT IM HAVING MEDICAL PROBLEMS AND NEED THE MONEY.SO GOOD LUCK On Nov-21-11 at 20:13:22 PST, seller added the following information: RUNNING AND DRIVING CAR!!

SO PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CAPRICE WAS A LTZ BUBBLE TOP SIMILAR TO CURRANT POLICE CARS.AND IT COMES WITH A CLEAN OPEN TITLEFOR THAT.THE BODY ON THE CHASSIS IS A 1951 AND I BOUGHT FROM OUT OF STATE IT CAME WITH ALL THE PAPER WORK NEEDED TO GET THETITLE.THE STATE IT CAME FRO DIDNT ISSUE TITLE FOR CARS OVER 10 YEARS OLD,ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IN INDIANA AND PROBABLY ALOT OF OTHER STATES IS TAKE PAPERWORK TO BMV.CHASSIS ND BODY HAS VINPLATE ON IT.THE PARTS CAR IS 1950 AND DOES NOT COME WITH VINPLATE ORTITLE.ONLY A BILL OFSALE.THE INNER FENDERS IN THE TRUNK OF THE PARTS CAR ARE GONE.U DONT NEED THEM ANYWAY THE CAR HAS THE CAPRICE INNER FENDERS IN IT. L@@@K !!!!!!!! L@@K !!!!!!!!!!!! THE FRONT FENDERS OPENINGS ON THE CAR HAVE BEENRAISED AND STRETCHED.THIS IS A COMMON PRACTICE ON THESE TYPE BUILDS.BUT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW SET OF STOCK CAPRICE SPRINGS INSTALLED BECAUSE I CUT 1 COIL TO MUCH OFF I DID THIS BEFORE THE EXTRA WEIGHT OFF THE BODY HAD SETTLED ON THE SPRINGS.SO CURRENTLY THE FRONT TIRES DO RUB WHEN YOU TURN THEM.HOWEVER STOCK SPRINGS WILL CORRECT THIS ALSO I WAS GOING TO PUT STOCK STEEL WHEELS WITH MOON CAPS.IF YOU DO THIS THEY DONT HAVE AS MUCH OFFSET AS THESE RIMS PLUS I WAS GOING TO PUT WIDE WHITE WALL TIRES ON THEM.THE CURRENT TIRES ON THE ALUMINUM RIMS ARE HUGE,THEY LOOK LIKE TRUCK TIRES.SO IF YOU WAS TO CORRECT THE ABOVE MENTIONED WAS DONE YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH TIRE RUB.THANKS FOR READING!!!!!!
