Vehicle Description
A 1959 Mercury M-100 is already a head-turning sight, but this one
is far more desirable than just rarity. It's a true one-of-a-kind
restomod that has beautiful paint, a full custom luxury A/C
interior, a big Lincoln V8, overdrive transmission, fully
independent suspension, and so much more. So look over all the
details on this fresh build and think about all the awards you want
to win.
You'll love the way people will approach this pickup thinking it's
a spectacularly-presented Ford F-100, and then you'll watch their
delight as they see the Mercury badges. This is one of those rare
pickups developed primarily for Canadian dealers with no Ford
outlet nearby. But the history and those bold Mercury badges are
not what make this such a stellar machine. It's the fact that the
consignor/constructor spent over $120k making sure that every inch
of this truck is a memorable machine. The House of Kolors True Blue
gives the gentle curves an almost gem-like quality - even in the
truck bed. And the Ingot Silver Metallic borrowed directly from
modern Fords continues to make the super-straight sheetmetal look
like precious metal. Plus, we know you absolutely love the
air-brushed steel details that separate these two colors in a
similar pattern to some of Ford's most iconic '50s sedans. The
bumpers were eliminated with flush panels, the door handles are
shaved, and other trim was expertly removed. This not only adds to
the truck's overall sleekness, but also it means the other
brightwork can command the right attention. It includes the chrome
grille, trim around the desirable wraparound back window, and the
distinct Mercury badging. Plus, the Billet Specialties Magnitude
wheels not only add to the shine, but also the 17/18-inch
front/rear stagger over the lowered suspension gives this a true
street-eating stance.
You've seen custom interiors before, but none have been as
carefully crafted as this. The bench seat has the correct
bolstering for individual comfort. The leather looks like a bomber
jacket and feels just as soft. And this is fully coordinated with
the custom headliner, carpeting, lower dash, and door panels. And
speaking of the door panels, look at the classic style speaker
grilles - these are a custom piece that keep the vintage atmosphere
while allowing for modern speakers behind it. This kind of
thoughtful integration is everywhere, including on the power
windows, power locks, cup holders, and AM/FM/CD stereo with aux
input. You'll even love how the air conditioning control have been
added to the bright blue dash. But this custom is also a true
driver's machine. That's why you have a Billet Specialties steering
wheel mounted on a chrome Ididit tilt column. And beyond that, the
bright panel gives you a full set of crisp Dolphin gauges.
The engine bay continues this award-worthy arrangement. The smooth
blue fender walls and firewall funnel all your attention to the
highly polished total presentation. A premium truck deserves a
premium motor, and so you're looking at a big block borrowed from a
Lincoln. The 460 V8 was bored to 472ci, and it was rebuilt for
extra performance and fortification. This includes a large
Edelbrock 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake,
Edelbrock heads, MSD ignition, and ceramic coated headers. Of
course, you're going to want to do more than just listen to the
rumble of the dual exhaust; follow its path in the undercarriage
photos. There you're going to see the kind of amazing paintwork
that many people don't even have on their exteriors. And it
continues to look so fresh because there's only 450 miles on this
build. Of course, you're also amazed by the huge list of suspension
upgrades. They include the tubular A-arm front end, full adjustable
coilovers, and four-wheel disc brakes. And when was the last time
you saw a truck with a Jaguar-style Heidt's Independent rear with
inboard brakes!? Oh yes, this is truly an amazing build. And it's
even easy to show this Mercury off everywhere with great features
like the aluminum radiator, power steering, and four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive.
There's just so much to go over on this one that we don't have the
room for it all. So give us a call for all the details. But you
already know one-of-a-kinds like this rarely leave their creator's
hands. So don't miss this opportunity, call today!
