1950 Mercury Custom Coupe - Ground Up Restoration

Description

This car has the traditional sled style that is always a hit whether you are at a weekend cruise or large indoor show!!!

Two-doors, very clean, drives well, cruises smoothly down the road, and award winning!!! It has been my pleasure to show and win numerous awards, including Autos of the World 2013.
This was a ground up restoration, started and completed by me. I did all the work myself, from bodywork to paint. It is decked out with a hood and trunk, frenched headlights, and ‘51 Ford tail lights. It has a 67 GTO Pontiac frame, modified to fit the car; Pontiac positive traction rear-end; power disc brakes; and rack and pinon steering. Due to the shaved doors, electric poppers are in place to give access to the interior with a key remote. Leg pipes run the length of each side and have a shiny chrome finish. Tinted electric power windows, trunk and dummy spotlights, and diamond back radial tires with 2" white walls complete the exterior look. Under the hood is a crate 350 ZZ4 V8 motor paired with a TURBO 400 automatic transmission. The motor has some nice chrome highlights, valve covers, and an Edelbrock air bonnet. The interior is loaded: 1964 Ford steering wheel, Galaxy dash, 1964 Mercury gauges, vintage AC/Heat controls, and after market AM/FM radio with power antenna. The interior seats, panels, and truck are rolled and pleated white vinyl.All of the electrical on the car works perfectly via a new EZ wiring system. At the time of this posting, it has only 2000 miles on it.
This is one cool classic that has just the right custom touches throughout!!! Imagine yourself coming down the road and the heads you’ll turn!!! Cruise in this dependable, custom Mercury.
