1953 Mercury Monterey Additional Info:
1953 Mercury Monterey in very good condition. car is from south Dakota still has dealer sticker on bumper. imported to Canada in early 90's and stored inside for all but 3 of those years.
The Bad:
- no engine. was a flathead seized solid previous owner removed
- needs probably 5 body mounts repaired
- look closely at the pictures, ou will see the small spots that need some attention, ther than that the car is very solid
- previous owner scabbed some home made rocker panels on, hey are covered by moulding but I would cut them out and replace with repro rockers.
- repair to right lower door ok and workable, am fussy for clean metal so I would probably source a door
The Good:
- solid car all considered.
- trunk floor has had a patch
- floor sections have had patches
- fairly complete car
- brand new gas tank and sender
- new wheel cylinders, rakes do work
- original paint on the bottom, found mask lines on the rubber so i suspect the black roofwas done after the factory
overall this is a great foundation to start with. i am only selling for one reason: i bought this to make a sunvalley glasstopout of it but my donor car and roof fell through. i am looking at a complete sunvalley projectcar which may work out better. hadplanned on an EFI 302 with overdrive. great ride painted up
