Anyone have old pictures of 49-51 mercurys in junkyards or ones that you saved

< WOW...19,000 posts! Hadn't noticed in a while.

 

I can not believe that '49 coupe in NY sold. That is a miracle, unless the price came down a few zillion bucks. That last '50 four door pictured I did so much investigative work on only to get the dude on the phone and say he had no interest in selling it. I should try again, its been a few years. I think there was a business attatched to the property, that's how I tracked him down. Nice enough fella.

 

ya it sold theres like four in this area and this is #4 i'll be chopping it soon i've gotten 3 cars from rusty all ruff 2 are finished and would blow your mind from what i started with dont be scared of rust

 

Pics pics we need pics!!

 

Here's a 51 I found

 

These havent moved in years. They are in a grove of trees that used to be a farmyard.

 

this one was found in Nevada.

 

Kool post!! Pictures of an old Doug Thompson Kustom…..







Happy Trails, Mick

 

I'm a 1949-51 Merc freak too.....

 

This one was in Johnsons wrecking in Mandan North Dakota awhile back. I shoulda got the back window surround!!!! Nope somebody already got it, CRAP!

 

Damn,that really sucks!!Hopefully someone can save those

 

Here is one that caddy-o here on the hamb picked up in Nebraska.I bought it from him about a year and a half ago,and been pluggin along.I'm sooo ready to get it on the road.Kool thread!!

 

Found this in a machine shop in L.A. where it had been sitting since 1961. The original owner blew the engine and never got around to fixing it. The engine was out of the car sitting in a pile next to it. I bought the car from the estate and kept the engine for my Deuce. It came with Offy heads, Weiand manifold, Mallory distributor, Fenton headers, and a Winfield cam. Mike Fennel bought it from me, put an original engine in it, and cleaned it up for his wife Julie.

 

There still out there!

 

my wife Stephanie's 51, for whatever reason i didn't get a pic of it in its 20+ year resting place..i probably just wanted it on the trailer quickly so i knew it was ours! and the ol'timers merc, sat out side for quite awhile then he finally put it under cover..

 

heres mine waiting it's turn

 

I had a totally rust free 49 sedan that was missing it's diff and front suspension when i got it, I sold it to a guy who had a perfect chassis he got from someone who did a chassis swap, and every time I ran into this guy for years he would tel me about the progress, what he had done, what was left and so on, then last fall I am visiting a friends yard and there is my old Merc, half stripped with the rear window gone and the rest of them smashed with shitty rattle-can flames on it... I almost cried... Now I get the occasional thought to buy it back and fix it myself before it starts to rot.





And here is one I picked up for a guy last fall.

 

Great pictures thanks for all the posts.

 

Bttt

 

This one is laying in a junk yard near me ...

 

Can't remember where this shot was taken. A lot of the yards I used to go to in NJ and PA are gone now.

 

Here's a couple laying upsidedown in the woods by my house, it used to be a junkyard many many years ago. I've tried to cut off anything good and useable. hvychvy has one of the door bottoms on his merc now.

 

I still can't express enough how much I appreciated you hookin me up with the door half.Here it is on the car

 

Looks really good!

 

Looks like lots of good parts still there!
