For Sale: 1948 Mercury Eight in Seattle, Washington

Vehicle Description


VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN OLDER RESTORATION THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST RECENTLY FINISHED! PERIOD-CORRECT PERFORMANCE UPGRADES! CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA HISTORY SINCE NEW WITH ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST! DRIVES AND LOOKS FANTASTIC! Less than 2,000 miles on the rebuilt 239ci Flathead v8 engine, 3-speed manual transmission column shift (three on the tree). Pheasant red exterior with red and taupe vinyl/cloth interior. Excellent ownership history, sold new in California and received a body-off restoration between 1990 and 1993. The car has been driven less than 2,000 miles since it's restoration and looks and drives like it was just restored yesterday! Performance upgrades boosting the output to over 135hp include; Edelbrock 9:1 aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock Super Dual aluminum intake manifold with two Stromberg 97 carburetors, Fenton exhaust headers, adjustable lifters, Manley valves, a Melling oil pump, an aluminum timing gear, modular impeller water pumps, an electric fuel pump, and a Motor City Flathead fuel pressure set up. A custom-built US Radiator with an electric pusher fan was installed and a dual exhaust system with Smitty mufflers. Factory options and accessories include; dual sun-visors, deluxe push button AM radio, Magic Air heater, clock, interior light, windshield wipers, push button starter, stainless steel moldings, bumper guards, 15" wheels with chrome hub caps, and wide white wall Coker tires. There is no rust and no Bondo to be found. The floor boards are solid, as are the trunk and rocker panels. The engine was rebuilt during the restoration, and has very low mileage. This is an excellent example of a California and Nevada owned since new, driver quality car that's been well maintained and loved for many years. VERY NICE! THE PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP RADIATES THROUGHOUT! CPI Excellent condition is over $62,525. #2 excellent value is over $41,100. #3 good value is over $32,750. This 1950 Mercury Eight Club Convertible will easily pass for somewhere between good and excellent condition. It will be all but impossible to duplicate all that Mercury Eight represents for just $34,948. Save thousands and buy quality and value!
