for sale

Price: US $16,990.00

Description:

1950 Mercury 2 door coupe. The car is a 3 owner car with an original 38, 290 miles and has always been in California. The car has been in storage since 1974 and hasn't been on the road since, I have the 1974 registration and black California license plate as support.
In the last year the car was completely taken apart and was media blasted (both sides of the body panels, the exterior body, the interior, the engine compartment and whole front section of the frame). The car has been primered and only been keep indoors since. The car at this point is a blank canvas for the next owner to take it any direction he or she wants. I was planning to completely restore the car to how it was when it was new. The car does have a couple rust spots in the typical areas around the cars body panels but the rust was killed when media blasted. The floors pans are completely solid with no rust and are original. The trunk floor pan is solid as well besides an area on the rear driver side around the gas fill tunnel.
The original flathead v8 engine was completely disassembled and rebuild by a well known engine machine shop just recently in September. I have the paperwork of the work that was done to the engine. If you've ever tried rebuilding a flathead v8 engine, you know that it is very expensive.
The body panels where bolted back on the car so it could be easily transported. The car is 99.9% complete and original. The only part missing is the air cleaner oil bath. I have all the parts that came off the car and all the original stainless and chrome, even the hub caps. I have a couple new parts for the car including the back window not pictured. I included a picture of what the car looked like just before it was taken apart.
Please call/text/email with any questions about the car. My number is 510-579-3422
The car is posted locally and I will take down this listing if it sells.
