Hello.. Up for bid is a Beautiful 1949 Mercury Eight Convertible! This car had a very nice and high end restoration about 20 years ago, both cosmetically and mechanically. a healthy 255CID Flatheat V8 with a 3-Speed Manual Transmission. Runs and sounds excellent with great power. It drives down the road very smooth and straight. Upgraded with Offenhauser heads, custom intake, 12-volt conversion, etc. It is fun to drive and gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes. This car is in extremely nice condition inside and out. Finished in Flame Red with two-tone red/black interior and a black convertible top. The paint shines like a mirror with a very deep finish. The body is solid and very straight, it was professionally redone for Barrett-Jackson in 2013. All of the chrome and stainless was refinished and still looks great. The car has been driven and enjoyed so you may find a few small blemishes/small chips touched up but overall this car is very very nice and shows excellent. The interior was also nicely refinished and in excellent condition. It has Chrome dish caps with color-keyed wheels and Coker wide whitewall tires. Also has power windows, power convertible top, lake pipes, fender skirts, spotlight, much more. Underside and engine compartment show very nice. This is a highly sought after and very rare car. You will be hard pressed to find a 49/50 Merc that is not cut up, customized, etc but to find a convertible in this condition is extremely rare. I cannot find a nicer one for sale, but there is less than a handful that come up the past few years. This is a great car you can enjoy while it keeps climbing in value. Has a clean / clear title.
