Projects Just got me a 49 Merc!!

The timing could not have been better for me. I found the car on Craigslist the same day i got a job that paid for it.

 

kool man good start.Now get to work on her

 

I did see this car on craigslist good buy any more pics

 

I also saw that Merc on craigslist.I alsoo have a 4 door.Congrats and have fun.

 

Lucky sob, can I ask how much you paid?

 

I saw this car for sale here on the HAMB. Cool car!

 

<<<<Jealous. Make a progress thread when you start it!!!

 

Chappy, I saw this car too.....and you're gonna***** when he tells ya.

 

$3500.00... it's a 3 speed w/ overdrive.

 

ohhh i hat you now lol. Does it run too?

 

Needs a carb rebuild or a new one but it runs.

 

Oh I am so jealous I want a 49 ford bad

 

Good score! What's the plan?

 

For now I'll get it running and go through it and then drive it!!

Long term I'll lower it bag it and chop it With a deep blood red satin paint job.

 

Sounds like a plan to me, I hope you have a ball!

 

Sweet find and congrats

 

edlebrock heads, 2 holley 94's, and fenton headers. Do deep blood red satin reverse rims with ford hubcaps or bullets. Lower it and your set

 

Mercurys are for****s!!! Again!

Keep us posted and willing to help out with any questions.

 

Congrats!

 

Get it safe and drive it everywhere. Nice buy!

 

Nice score! Unless there is bondo and chicken wire lurking under the unsuspecting faded paint, looks as if she's very solid.
I too bought mine off of craigslist locally here in MA. I got an absolute steal on mine. Needed a lot more work than yours does (rust/no engine or trans), but i couldn't pass it up for $1000 USD

 

If you look at the cars behind the merc there is a 51 vicky sitting there. Not a 49 but it might would do...........

 

well 49-51 hehe but im in Va and broke. Truck cleaned me out for now.

 

Who found it!!!??? Just messin. its on for sat. morning ill talk to ya more tomorrow. im happy you got it youve been looking for awhile for a toy!! i told my buddy joe about it he's jealous!!

Congratulations! She looks real nice. Have fun!

 

I want to got one of those (49-51 merc) someday. Congrats.

 

I notice it has the infamous, protruding, driver's side hood corner. Ha Ha, I don't know why, but I've seen that so many times checking out other Mercs.

Great find, congrats!
