King of Merc for sale

I wish that I had some extra cash sitting around the house. This is one of
my all time favorite Mercs. Of course it would go back to its old Stuckey
Glory.... Wouldn't that be kool to see it in my driveway

Do you guys remember when it drove up in Wichita in 1984. WOW!! I wish I
had that on tape.

Happy Trails,

Figures he doesn't even mention the fact that dave built the car ,

 

Car looked good in the older shot , not a fan of it now.

 

Looked better maroon. From the outside, it's looks as if it was built back in the day. A peak inside and they totally left any traditional items out; nasty interior.

 

The interior and motor choice seriously **** gonads...

 

Here is some more pictures from Rikster's web site.....

I don't remember the interior looking bad when i saw it in person. I think it looks good because it fits the time line that Stucky was going for...

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

did you even look at the auction you posted? it's got a ****ing lexus interior in it....

 

Yeah the interrior ****s major ***. It would make a cool project car. But too much needs to be changed IMO. Unless you are looking to win some trophies.

Sorry, my bad, My needle wasn't in the right grove.....I was talking about
the interior the way it was in 1984, the white and gold. I agree with you about the Lexsuks interior.

 

Poor car's an ugly shadow of its former self.

 

Somebody ****ed that one up.

 

Which also happened to be a very ugly self.

I wont ask "Is it just me?" As it is I guess, but man I think that car is disgusting. Any form of it.

 

. No, it's not just you. I agree.

 

True that, not an outstanding beauty by any stretch.

 

I like my beater 49 better. Really!!!!!!.............OLDBEET

 

Did not care for it all back in the 80's and can't stand it at all now. Too much...just too too much going on. I have never been a fan of the rolling juke box over the top merc thing.

 

I thought I was the only one who thought this was one ugly Merc then and now! I'm glad I'm not alone. I can sort of live with the grille and bumper treatment, but it ****s from there back.

 

I'd like to see more pics of the former self.


I kinda dig the one old pic Mick posted. I'd lose the super 70's lake pipe and go with a smoothy.

Maybe add a few more louvers to the hood (not )

 

Wish I had that original interior!

 

It seems like there is amost always something Royally Screwed Up about anything that carries the ***le " King of..."

 

Yeah, I know.

That's why I changed my name from "King of Rash"

 

Were you a Ferris Wheel in the Front Yard kind of King, or a TV set Shootin' "my Way " singing in Vegas kind of King?

 

Just proves one more time that time and money equals nothing when combined with bad taste. Fido's *** would be an improvement.

 

sometimes less is more!!!! i think its just a bit over the top for me!

 

More a "Tilt-A-Whirl" in the front yard kinda guy... and lately I'm more a "I did it HER way" kinda guy.


Reading back through this post I saw the old pics. Pretty right on for the period I'd say. I could do without the tail lights but could live with the rest of it quite easily.

 

What's with the blue car in this pic? Is it me or is the rear tire leaning? Surely not a bug based ride...

 

Yeah, it started out Cool...

( just like Elvis...)

 

think a friend of mine held that ***le at one time.....god knows he did a few of them..... brandon

 

Hey rashy,

You all doing Ok with the ice thing?? Myers called last night and said that he was losing
a alot of his trees...... The vary rare 1932 Ford roadster P/U is Kick ***. I think Mark Morality (spelling) owns the truck now its called the Eclipse. It used to be at the Starbird Museum for years. Borrowd a picture from LincolnLady........

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

It's on E-bay again.
