Vehicle Description
This 1951 Merc custom coupe is affectionately known as "Bad Boy."
Built on a GM A-body chassis, this full custom has been chopped,
channeled and dropped, and it features frenched headlamps, a 1954
DeSoto grille, frenched 1954 Mercury taillamps and a 1954 Merc rear
window. Under the hood resides a 6.2-liter V8 LS3 engine paired to
a 4L70E automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. Braking
is easily handled by Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes, and an
oversize aluminum radiator takes care of the cooling chores. The
air-bagged suspension sits on Bilstein front shocks and rear
RideTech adjustable gas shocks. Spent gasses exit through a
stainless Borla exhaust, which also includes electric cutouts and
lake pipes. The exterior is finished in a Red-Orange paint with
Candy Apple flames, which are set off perfectly with lake pipes,
full wheel covers and wide whitewalls. The custom two-tone
tuck-and-roll interior in Red-Orange and off-white features
contrasted seat piping, kick panels with upholstered flames,
pinstriping, Dakota Digital instrumentation, and a tilt steering
column and custom two-spoke steering wheel. Additional amenities
include air conditioning, custom audio system, touchscreen with
navigation and Bluetooth, and a rear-view camera. ** PREVIEW
