Throwing this out there, as there are other things distracting me currently. 1951 Two Door Merc 1965 401 Nailhead/TH400 Trans Stock Rear New brakes/Master for a '51 Merc New side and windshield glass- the rear is a very nice og piece Shaved trunk with manual opener Electric wipers Vintage Air Heat/Defrost/AC All new wiring New gas tank/lines/and sender. This includes a 4 lb pump to keep the fuel at the mechanical pump always. Tires are sound but new ones would be provide peace of mind Re upholstered front seat and solid older rear coverings. They do match however as my Upholsterer is a wizard at this stuff It'll need the factory gauges re-done ( I just haven't found a nice enough spare cluster to send in. So there's an oil pressure and temp which live in the engine compartment now. They'll stay if it doesn't go down the road and I'll get the gauges finished. There is little to no rust in this car, however it came from Reservation Country in New Mexico35+ years ago and wears the scars and lumps of a hard life. The Engine was the most grenaded Flatmotor I've ever seen. It's demise is probably what saved this car though as where it died it lied until the guy I got it from saved it so many years ago. She's comfy though, but as low as she is there's the usual scrape and bump as you roll along. IT's a Custom done the old ways. Dropped Spindles, Cut Coils, and Blocks with leaves removed in the rear. There's air shocks in the rear for ride adjustment - not ride height. No Air Bags on this one. Low is how she rolls. NO The License plate doesn't go with it, I'm an Avocado Farmer you see. That's part of the fleet plates. The Title is clear and in my name though so that makes transfer simple. There are some additional parts that go with it. Sill plates, trim, and minor mechanical stuff. If you have more questions gimme a shout - 831-428-5693 $25K - Tim
