50' Mercury clean title. Flathead V8 which had been rebuilt previous to my owning it. I have no paperwork to accompany that statement but you can tell by how well it runs. No noise on start-up, runs smooth & crisp with no issues. 3 on-the-tree, no clutch issues and it shifts nice and smooth. The motor has an Edelbrock 4 bbl carb, Fenton headers & dual exhaust (not even rusted yet). Car has a new gas tank and sending unit. Sending unit should be readjusted as it was 1/8 th off out of the box, I found out the hard way so much for quality control. Stops and steers fine (doesn't wander). Tires are all excellent. The interior has been completely done from headliner to carpet. Seats are perfect with no tears or stains and the trunk is also done. All stock suspension except Aerostar front springs and 4" lowering blocks rear. Nosed and decked. The Caddy hubcap in the photo was loaned to me and is not included in the sale as it must be returned. It was for illustration only. The spinner hubcaps are what came with the car & will go with the car. This is an extremely presentable driver not a little show princess however shows that I have taken of it. It gets a lot of respect. I have several classics & prefer to just go out and drive them which I do. Any blemishes from use you will have to get up close to see. There is a small discoloration, approx. 3/4", on the driver’s side fender near the door which you will see in certain light. I've left it alone. You'll notice in the photos that the driver’s side window is cracked. Short story: A guy came to look at the car, got a phone call, got mad & slammed the door cracking the glass. He paid for the glass and I have a new one however I will leave that for the new owner to install. I love the car and it's a lot of fun to drive. The only reason I'm selling is because I bought another 50 Mercury with an SBC 350/7004r transmission.
