Paint, bodywork, and upholstery were done approximately 10 years and two owners ago. Age has started to take its toll on the exterior and ‘bubbling’ is apparent in both rear quarters, top, hood, and lower rocker panels (see photos). In ‘layman’s’ terms “it is a good 15-footer”.

Frame and mounting brackets all seem good. There is some rust starting on the front cross member but has not gone through. Underneath the floors in the interior appear solid.

Interior upholstery, carpeting, and headliner are in excellent condition. The trunk was treated to upholstered side panels and carpeting too.

The exterior glass is in good condition except for a small crack on the driver’s side window (see photo). Exterior chrome ranges from good (rear bumper) to ‘pitted’ (like the door handles), but over all it is a good cruiser.

Recently the Merc had an aluminum radiator w/electric fan installed along with new rear springs & shackles, and the transmission was serviced.

Original 4-barrel carburetor was replaced with a 550 cfm Edelbrock so it starts easily and runs smoothly. The ‘Smitty’ style mufflers and dual exhaust give the Merc a true ‘50’s sound.

All the exterior lights function normally (turn signals, high beams, brake lights) as well as the electric wipers. The interior factory fuel and temperature gauges do not work so aftermarket items were installed along with an oil pressure gauge. The Mercury holds 55 psi at 40 mph. Speedometer and odometer work, but the clock does not.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 10 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
