Here is your chance to own a real piece of HISTORY. This is something that can never be recreated. This Mercury was one of the last cars that the "Sultan of Chop" himself,chopped, Dick Dean.I have the pictures and the documentation to prove the car was chopped by Dick. Dick Dean was known as the ghost builder/chopper for George Barris. he had his hands on many famous builds, such as the Batmobile. The car just got back from a new paint job and new interior. This is a great car, and can be driven anywhere.I, regularly take the car all long haul trips. The car is meant to be driven, but still appears like it rolls out of trailer when you arrive. It turns heads and gets plenty of attention everywhere we take it. Below are some of the features: 1.) Headlights frenched, using '51 Ford bezels cut down 5/8" so as to not be too deep in the fender. 2.) Parking lights were relocated. 3.) Front bumper was moved back approx. 4" 4.) The tail lights are '51 Studebaker Commander with homemade buckets and mounted horizontally. 5.) Rear fenders are welded and moulded to the body, as is the stone deflector, which is also extended down at the ends to flow with the lower edge of the fenders. 6.) The rear bumper has been narrowed 3" and moved closer to the body. 7.) It has been nosed, decked and shaved. 8.) It originally came to me with no stainless trim, we added the Mercury stainless, all polished perfectly. 9.) It is chopped 4" at the B pillars, not sure of the measurement at the front and rear. I have the B Pillar cut out. 10.) Power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, working spots, SBC, automatic trans, 11.) Restored, original 1950 Mercury accessory steering wheel (pretty rare and beautiful). 12.) Hidden Custom Auto Sounds Stereo in the glove box 13.) All the receipts and paperwork 14.) True thru-tip exhaust tips like the old customs ran in the fifties. Please take the time to Google this car, you will find it pops up on sites such as Rik Hovings custom car site. There are many pictures of the car up there. You can check out a video on Youtube at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgfdO2f-SRw Problems: The car just had a fresh paint job done in July. There are a couple of spots that did not come out perfect. Overall the paint job is still very nice. I welcome anyone to come and inspect the car in person.
