Vehicle Description
We bet you think this 100% custom 1950 Mercury Monterey Woody Wagon
has that big cargo area because it's perfect for your surfboard,
right? Well once you go over the effort it took to craft this a
wagon, then add a bespoke interior, performance V8, and all that
lumber, you'll realize that big back area is so you can fit all the
trophies.
The 1950 Mercury Eight coupe is the definitive lead sled, and the
woody wagon is an American icon.... And now you're looking at the
only union of those two legends. Oh yes, this is not just some
restored wagon. The car started life as a coupe and transformed
into a one-of-a-kind vehicle that you wish the factory made all
those decades ago. In fact, the quality is so good casual admirers
will assume it's just an awesome restoration, but us enthusiasts
will be floored by the excellence of the custom work. On top of the
new body is beautiful Pear Red that was applied about a year ago.
This has so much gloss and depth, you'll swear the steel is candy
coated. Every good lollypop or candy apple need a stick, and so
real wood that been laid down and follows the fender curves. It's a
truly an unforgettable American custom, and we haven't even gotten
to all that brightwork yet. The grille's toothy grin is borrowed
from a '58 Corvette; there's great trim outlining the original
pillarless hardtop and the custom wagon windows; and there's bold
15-inch Billet Specialties Legend Series chrome wheels.
In true old-school woody fashion, the interior feels like a
lumberyard. Beautiful wood covers the doors, all the side panels,
pillars, kick panels, and headliner. Matching this same tone of the
timber nicely are two rows of leather seats. The rear set even
folds down and the rear hatch opens out so you can have your
surfboard sticking out the back while cranking the beach boys on
the AM/FM/CD stereo (ok, we're a little more modern, so you can
plug in your iPod, too.) From the driver's seat you have a good
command of everything. This includes the power window switches and
the ice-cold air conditioning. You get a cool chrome and leather
three-spoke steering wheel, and just beyond that are a full set of
matching Omega gauges.
We just about dare you to find one more component under the hood
that you can chrome. The V8 not only looks amazing, but it's a 350
cubic-inch Chevy crate motor that has an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and HEI distributor. So you
know it's got the kind of power to hustle you to the beach the
moment that surf's up. But more than just a cool motor, take some
time to look at all the undercarriage photos. See how clean
everything is? That's because there's only 3,300 miles on this
whole build. The frame looks amazing, and its supported but the
beefy suspension components borrowed from a late model Ford pickup.
So this is a complete custom build that you can rely on for getting
you just about anywhere. In fact, with features like power
steering, front disc brakes, and a TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission, this is a fun choice to drive from coast to
coast.
You've always dreamed about having a car that no one else does, and
now is that rare opportunity. We've even got the restoration/build
photos and recipes so you can take friends and show judges along
this custom journey from start to finish. It's the only lead sled
wagon, and it can be all yours if you're quick enough to snatch it
up. Call today!!
