One of the most iconic customs: a 50 Merc! This is a slick example that makes a great cruiser. 4 passengers can ride in comfort and style.
EXTERIOR: The body has been shaved, nosed, and decked. Meaning the trim, handles, locks have been removed and filled for a clean look. The front doors open by remote; the rear suicide doors open by the inside handles. The hood is louvered, and the front corners are rounded. It has frenched halogen headlights and turn signals, frenched 1951 Ford taillights and frenched power antenna. The body is straight and has no significant rust or damage. The black paint is glossy! There are flaws if you look for them. It has custom mirrors, dummy spotlights and skirts. The bumpers and grill are in very nice shape. Coker radial wide white tires still have the nubs on the tread. 50s style custom hubcaps. The glass is tinted, it has wing windows on all 4 doors.
INTERIOR: Recently professionally redone interior by Classic Stitches. Snowstorm white material on the doors and seats. They have a diamond stitch pattern and black trim. The front seats have firm cushions, armrests and are genuine soft leather. New black headliner. There is a custom console on the floor with cup holders and a tall Lokar shifter. The tilt column has a cushion grip wheel and a tachometer. The a/c controls and vents are neatly installed under the dash. The Pioneer stereo sends tunes to speakers mounted in each door.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Rebuilt 350 with a mild cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, HEI ignition. It's dressed up with Edelbrock air cleaner and valve covers. Vintage Air heat and a/c system. New 2 speed electric wiper kit. It features power steering and brakes. Upgraded radiator with a polished overflow bottle, electric fan, and engine fan. The engine bay is gloss black. Overall, the components look orderly.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It has a power trunk release. It has been carpeted. The battery is relocated in the trunk. LED trunk light.
UNDERSIDE: Upfront it has a Nova front clip. Upper ball joints, springs, shocks, swaybar links, inner and outer tie rods and sleeves, idler arm and pittman arm were replaced. In back it has lowering blocks and air shocks. The fuel tank has been replaced. It has a nice sounding dual exhaust system with Hooker mufflers and big stainless tips. Looking up at the engine it's immaculate Chevy Orange, the starter looks new, and it has a chrome flywheel cover. The Turbo 350 automatic was rebuilt with a shift kit and has a chrome pan. In back is a 10 bolt rear end 3.08 cruising gears. The floors appear to be rock solid all original condition.
SERVICE: Our shop inspected the car and spent $2,859. We replaced the fuel sending unit, replaced a heater lever, replace driver's door glass, tightened mirror, eliminated exhaust rattle, had paint work done.
Here is an opportunity to own a 50 Merc custom at an affordable price. It will turn heads with the best of them!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
