1950 MERCURY COUPE - SOLD
This is a great project, the top has already been chopped by A&A restoration in Rapid City. They chopped the top and tacked it back together for a guy that was going to finish the project himself  ( he never got to it.) The car has been completely soda blasted and is primed. The car had been in storage for 40 years and only has 44,000 actual miles. Motor, transmission and radiator are missing but everything else is complete. This car is as rust free as they get, inner and outer rockers are good, quarter panels are good, rear window and the rubber are good. The car has a good title and is ready to be finished.
