1954 Mercury Monterey Nice looking Additional Info:

Up for sale is a nice looking and running 1954 Mercury Monterey with rebuilt 1957 Mercury 312 engine. The body was striped of paint down to bar medal, all stainless was taken off and a couple of small patch panels were welded in on the lower part of the front fenders. Some light body work was done and then nice paint was applied, baby blue on the body and white on the top. Then all stainless was reattachedto the body as were thebumpers and they are the originals, not re chromed. The hood dose need new springs or hinges to help close. The engine is a replacement 312 ci from a 1957 Mercury and completely rebuilt. New 40 over pistons,3/4 race cam, crank turned 10 / 10with new bearings,heads done with new valve guides, seats, and all new valves, and it has a new Edelbrock 4 barrel carb with dull exhaust.
