Just bought a '50 Merc. I know, I know, it's a mordor. But it's still a merc. Chop was started on it, and it's not too bad, nothing that can't be fixed. It has virtually no rust and it has the original flathead which was running a couple of years ago. Probably just finish the chop get it road worthy and sell it to start my 2 door 49 merc.....
I think your Merc and my Lincoln should get together and become one in an unholy union. Triple the value of your car when it's all done. Think about it.
I'll have to take a look this afternoon while I'm there. Not a bad idea though. Isn't there a limit on how many mercs one person can own?
