Here is a chance to own a very well done and great looking Chopped 49 Merc. Here are the details:
- Slanted B Pillars
- V butted windshield
- Frenched headlights, antenna, tail lights and front turn signals
- Rear side still swivel out like the stock ones did
- Shaved rain gutters
- Brand new Firestone Bias Ply wide white wall tires
- Fresh powder coated steel wheels
- 350 SBC with Turbo 350 trans, Ford 9" rear
- Stock Mercury front end
- DeSoto Front Bumper
- Rounded hood (front and back), rounded trunk, and rounded doors
- All gauges work
- All chrome looks great
- Power Steering
- Power windows
- Remote doors
- Electric Trunk
- Tilt column
- Great driver
The car is very presentable, but the paint and interior is showing some age. I will leave hubcap choice up to the new owner. The car would look great with a set of Lyons, or Caddy sombreros. The things that I know need attention are as follows:
- Crack in passenger door window
- Small dent in front bumper (see it in video)
- Stock manual brakes
- Trunk needs carpet (paint was spilled in the trunk when I received the car)
- One fender skirt needs touched up ( Same paint issue as trunk)
- Runs down the highway great, but could use a different gear in the rear end so that it is not turning such a high rpm at 70+ mph
- Engine bay is plain, could use dressed up
- No heat or air conditioning
I welcome all questions, and please come inspect the car before buying. I do not want any unhappy buyers. Car is sold as is with no warranty expressed or otherwise. $1000.00 deposit due within three days of auction end and remainder duewithin seven days. I will except cash, wire transfer or cashiers check only. The vehicle will not move until funds are clear. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
