OVERVIEW: This Mercury has all the right visual cues to turn heads
at every stoplight! From the shaved door handles and trunk to the
Frenched headlights, taillights, and antenna, the exterior is sleek
and cohesive. Decorative lake pipes, removable fender skirts, dual
spotlights, and a continental kit add just the right amount of
period flair. The electric trunk popper is a nice functional touch,
while the louvered hood hints at the performance underneath.
Overall, the body appears to be very straight-as is no surprise on
a vehicle that has received this much custom work! PAINT CONDITION
OVERVIEW: The bright copper metallic paint shifts beautifully in
the light, ranging from a rich bronze to a bold orange tone
depending on the angle. The dark copper two-tone highlights tie
everything together perfectly, and also shift beautifully in the
light from a dark brown to a lighter tone that blends with the rest
of the paint. While this isn't a fresh restoration, the paint still
presents very well overall with minor imperfections consistent with
an older custom build-nothing that takes away from its street
presence or curb appeal! Known imperfections have been captured in
photos to the best of our ability. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Inside, this Merc is just as custom as the exterior! The two-tone
synthetic leather seats, full-length front/rear center console, and
finished trunk all match in both style and execution. The tilt
column and chrome steering wheel add comfort and flash, while
Autometer gauges, Vintage Air, and a Pioneer stereo bring a touch
of modern convenience. There's some wear on the seats from use, but
overall it's still a great place to enjoy the ride! MECHANICAL
OVERVIEW: A Ford 302ci V8 with FiTech EFI (believed to have appx.
1,000 miles since installed) provides modern reliability with
vintage charm. Backed by a TCI AOD 4-speed automatic overdrive
transmission, this Mercury is a cruiser that's happy on city
streets or open highways. Other upgraded features include an
aluminum radiator, chrome accessories, MSD ignition, power steering
with a polished remote reservoir, power brakes, adjustable rear air
shocks, and a dual exhaust system with headers and Magnaflow
mufflers. And don't forget the keyless entry with remote start!
With the odometer showing 38,927 miles, it's clear this car was
built to be driven and has been! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: •
The one-of-a-kind look-this is the type of car that almost stops
