Description:

1949 Mercury Other Base

Here is a chance to own a very well done and great looking Chopped 49 Merc. Here are the details:

  • Slanted B Pillars
  • V butted windshield
  • Frenched headlights, antenna, tail lights and front turn signals
  • Rear side still swivel out like the stock ones did
  • Shaved rain gutters
  • Brand new Firestone Bias Ply wide white wall tires
  • Fresh powder coated steel wheels
  • 350 SBC with Turbo 350 trans, Ford 9" rear
  • Stock Mercury front end
  • DeSoto Front Bumper
  • Rounded hood (front and back), rounded trunk, and rounded doors
  • All gauges work
  • All chrome looks great
  • Power Steering
  • Power windows
  • Remote doors
  • Electric Trunk
  • Tilt column
  • Great driver

The car is very presentable, but the paint and interior is showing some age. I will leave hubcap choice up to the new owner. The car would look great with a set of Lyons, or Caddy sombreros. The things that I know need attention are as follows:
  • Crack in passenger door window
  • Small dent in front bumper (see it in video)
  • Stock manual brakes
  • Trunk needs carpet (paint was spilled in the trunk when I received the car)
  • One fender skirt needs touched up ( Same paint issue as trunk)
  • Runs down the highway great, but could use a different gear in the rear end so that it is not turning such a high rpm at 70+ mph
  • Engine bay is plain, could use dressed up
  • No heat or air conditioning

I welcome all questions, and please come inspect the car before buying. I do not want any unhappy buyers. Car is sold as is with no warranty expressed or otherwise. $1000.00 deposit due within three days of auction end and remainder duewithin seven days. I will except cash, wire transfer or cashiers check only. The vehicle will not move until funds are clear. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
