    For now I'll get it running and go through it and then drive it!!

    Long term I'll lower it bag it and chop it With a deep blood red satin paint job.

    edlebrock heads, 2 holley 94's, and fenton headers. Do deep blood red satin reverse rims with ford hubcaps or bullets. Lower it and your set

    Nice score! Unless there is bondo and chicken wire lurking under the unsuspecting faded paint, looks as if she's very solid.
    I too bought mine off of craigslist locally here in MA. I got an absolute steal on mine. Needed a lot more work than yours does (rust/no engine or trans), but i couldn't pass it up for $1000 USD :)

    If you look at the cars behind the merc there is a 51 vicky sitting there. Not a 49 but it might would do...........

    I notice it has the infamous, protruding, driver's side hood corner. Ha Ha, I don't know why, but I've seen that so many times checking out other Mercs.

    Great find, congrats!
