Event Coverage 1952 Mercury hillclimb video

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by runewilliam_merc, Aug 29, 2020.

  1. Today I drove my 1952 Mercury at a local hillclimb event. A friend of mine edited a video of this.
    This hillclimb is for cars that started production before 1965 (example: a 1967 Mustang can participate, as it is "identical" to a 1965 Mustang)

  10. It was very exiting! In this hillclimb, I was competing against very many small european cars. I ended at place 21 of 25, but I think that my car with BF Goodrich Silvertown 7.60x15 bias ply and 1800kg weight, lacked traction and was too heavy to compete against the other cars

  12. I must admit that the old flathead was gone before I bought the car fifteen years ago.

    This car has a 351W and FMX transmission from 1975. I belive that this engine outputs about 180hp and a very nice exhaust tone

  13. I can assure you that it will cause problems, as the steering box has no servo and it is six rounds from side to side

  15. Thanks! I talked to one of the people who arranged this hillclimb and he invited me to participate in a time trial on a gokart track in the start of May 2021... Maybe I will participate and share a new video

  16. I belive you are refering to my woods of Wonderbaum?

    I can assure you that they are more than ten years old and don't smell anything anymore. But when they were new, you could hardly breathe in the car
