I found this 49/50 Mercury along the road forsale today

What you have is a hot rod of the 80's! ditch the molded bumpers, paint, etc. and its worth the asking price.

 

Why ya gotta bash on the painted bumpers ? Hater !

.

 

Now it is in my garage.

 

^^^^^ what are your plans for it???

 

Fix some wiring issues, remove the continental kit, add a front roll pan, paint it flat black, & drive it a while and then who knows.

 

For $7500.00 it sounds good to me, checked for rust? what does wiring look like?

 

The yellow paint & the bumpers have to go . My $.02.
Both can be redone . But i like.
B.B.

 

Not to my taste but if you like it go for it. I would have to lose the cont. kit, molded bumper aprons and painted bumpers. Don't buy it if you are going to want to change everything.

 

Congrats, INLAW MODEL A....Those are exactly the mods I'd have made too... great price for a real-live 49-50 merc.

 

good luck,not liking the flat black idea,but it will be an improvment.is that front bumper 56 chevy? post pics of tear down

 

I May just fix the mechanical issues and remove the rear bumper and put it back for sale for a very reasonable price.

 

Running, functioning 49 -51 Merc for $7500? Seriously $7500 is not a great amount of dough to pay for a car ANY vintage 49 - 51 Merc 2 or 4 door. Although I would look REALLY close to how the existing mods were done. Some of the worst bodywork I've ever seen have been on "customs".

 

Slipped past this post, obviously you had already looked it over. Disregard my last post. I can't type fast enough and eat breakfast at the same time.

 

I love the frenched Buick headlights.
Ya GOTTA lose them bumpers tho.
The rest is looking good!

 

butt ugly

 

now wiping the last of my cold cup of coffee off the screen

 

Well the car found a new home in one day. I really like the color it is now, green cash.
