1956 Mercedes Hearse/ Ambulance
I bought this 30 years ago and sold it 19 years ago. Then I bought it back recently. Now I'm losing my storage space and need to sell it. Previous owner took it to a high end hot rod shop and had a Ford 289 with automatic installed. Also a Curry rear end. Ron Francis custom wiring. They spent $40k in 1997 doing it. Now the motor and trans are gone but the Curry with the 4 link is there. Dual exhaust is there. Converted to disc brakes up front. Racing rack and pinion installed.
The frame has been extensively redone and is solid. The body panels in front and rear have rust. I have 2 rust free doors and left front fender. Needs a hood and right front fender. The back is all custom some back in the 50's. That will need to be repaired. A custom fabricator looked at it and estimated $2-4K to repair it. Therear quarter panels appear to be solid
Totally unique vehicle that needs total restoration. I was going to do it but can't now.
I have a title in my name. The car is currently registered on non op. No back fees are due.
