1956 Mercury Monterey Sports Sedan with original 312 Y-Block V8 engine and Merc-O-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission. Clean title, California car, ~90K miles.
Some of the work done since I acquired it a few years ago:Full body restoration, down to bare metalNew interiorNew glassNew weatherstrippingNew period-correct wide whitewall tiresCarb (Holley) rebuildNew fuel tankNew batteryNew exhaust manifoldsNew wiper motor and wipersPeriod-appropriate seat belts (original had none)Period-appropriate side mirrorsThis is a very nice looking daily driver, which I actually drive regularly. That said, I have another car project that has been consuming most of my energy so I'm looking for a new owner to enjoy this old beast and see it through the project completion.
In the interest of full disclosure, these are the missing tasks:Refinish trunk interiorRefinish some of the chromeReassemble the original horn ring (which I have, and the horn works)Some interior details such as glove compartment, door trim, etc
