You're looking at the ultimate lead sled. This 1950 Mercury Eight Monterey has been customized so much both inside and out that you'll likely nickname it "Black Snowflake" - because you're never going to see another one like it. Take one look at the body. This Mercury has all the great traits of the legendary hot rods like the frenched headlights, shaved door handles, dual spotlights, and lowered suspension. Plus, great custom elements have been expertly integrated to... make it look like they were there from day one. This includes the grille and bullet-style taillights. And of course, the body was chopped to make sure it has the sleek profile this iconic street machine deserves. But our favorite custom element has to be the paint. The deep black has been expertly applied so that this is midnight on wheels. Plus, all the custom red pinstriping and protruding wheel covers make this look like a true sinister machine. If you like the way the red pinstriping looks against the black paint, then you'll love the interior. The full red inside looks like hot lava when you pop the remote door openers. The button-top presentation on the seats and door panels give this a very classic and cool look. The dash is painted an exterior-matching black, and so it's also a great place for some added pinstriping. And that custom steering wheel looks absolutely fantastic. More than just stylish, this coupe is comfortable. There are power front seats, cruise control, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and cold R134a air conditioning. And the full AutoMeter gauge package with column-mounted tach lets you know there's something special under the hood. The engine bay can win you awards all on its own. There was a huge investment in shining components, glossy black walls, and a very tidy setup. Plus, the Betty Boop mural painted on the radiator panel is the cherry on top of this very memorable package. More than just a stellar presentation, this V8 was made to move. The 350 cubic-inch small block has been enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and a rumbling glasspack-style dual exhaust. Plus, cruising this lead sled is easy thanks to easy driving features like power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, and modern treads on the classic-style whitewall tires. Complete with restoration photos and maintenance records, this is the compete and custom build that was made to run strong all day long. Don't miss the all-around stunner. Call today!!!
