1953 Mercury Conv. Street Rod

Description for Mercury Other 1953

An Original California Custom built Street Rod. Built in San Diego approx. 50 yrs. ago. 472 Cadillac Eng. T400 auto Trans. 9" Ford rear. Carson removable top. Primer finish with unbelievable Pinstripe Job. All Custom Body Work has to be seen to truly appreciate the time that went in to this car. Unfinished interior. No side windows. This Car is almost like a time capsule back to the Calif. Street Rod Scene. Leave Car as is, Or take to the next level ! Contact me if you are interested and know what this car represents. I paid $18,000 and still think it is worth close to that. How many Original Calif Street Rods are still out there waiting to be finished. It has come time for me to sell this car. If you are serious contact me. Car is located in Point Harbor, NC which is 200 miles from Raleigh at the OBX. P.S. Car does run. Trans. has a rear seal leak. Car has not been driven in 3-4 yrs. Just started occasionally. P.S.S I just want to add that I am sure car will need some TLC to get driving again. With no side windows ( or regulators ) I would encourage anyone to haul car in an enclosed trailer. As much as I love this car I do not have the time nor the talent to finish it.
