Details

This chopped Mercury coupe is unique with its many modifications. In addition to being chopped and channeled, this Mercury’s 5-year, professional restoration followed wholly stripped metal with shaved doors, a decked trunk, filled fender seams, and a nosed and pancaked hood. Once the metalsmithing was finished, custom pearl 2-stage paint was applied, along with a polished grille, frenched tri-bar headlights and color-keyed fender skirts. Complementing the car’s exterior is a professionally installed interior of aviation-quality leather. A ’48 Ford dash frames VDO telemetry, Maxi Kooler air conditioning and MP3-compatible Sony Xplod audio. The driver seat sits behind a V8-branded tilt wheel and Juliano power windows. This Mercury is powered by a 454ci Chevrolet V8 engine mated to a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission leading a Ford 9” axle. Under the drivetrain, a fully boxed chassis rolls on a custom suspension comprised of a Fat Man Fabrications front-clip and a 4-bar rear clip. Power rack & pinion steering leads power front disc and rear drum brakes. The Mercury’s curb appeal is augmented by painted steel wheels caging modern air bags. This car comes with a complete stack of build receipts.
