1951 Mercury Leadsled

Description

  • Tasteful ’51 Mercury LeadSled!
  • Many, many custom touches! Truly One-of-a-Kind!
  • 355ci Small Block Chevy V8 Power!
  • Turbo 400 Automatic Transmission!
  • Custom Pinstriping Throughout!

MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer yet another badass custom 1951 Mercury Leadsled. This car has tastefully married the timeless Mercury to the flair of the SoCal leadsled and it looks awesome!

The body of the Mercury has been chopped 4.5? with a vertical drop and it looks great. The top was chopped by Dave Porter of Jefferson, Ohio back in 1989. Many of the body parts have come from various other donor cars which makes this Merc truly one-of-a-kind! The headlights have been frenched, the taillights are from a ’59 Corvette, the side trim is from a ’59 Pontiac, the front and rear bumpers are from a ’51 Mercury with a ’52 Kaiser overrider, the grill is from a ’55 Chrysler with a ’49 Mercury grill surround, 1950 Mercury rear window, the hood/trunk/door corners have all been rounded, the “B” post has been “laid” forward and the fender skirts are from a ’51 Mercury . The hood is louvered with 148 louvers and looks great. The exterior door handles have been shaved. Overall, the body of this leadsled is in awesome shape and is sure to turn heads just about anywhere it may go!

Finished in the GM color of Dark Garnet Red Poly, the paint looks excellent, showing only minor imperfections such as rock chips. The paint has been accented by custom, hand painted pink and blue pinstriping that really makes the paint pop! The car was painted by Jim’s Rod Shop in Bangor, Michigan.

The customization did not stop on the exterior of the car! The seats are finished in black and look great, showing only minor imperfection such as general wear from years of regular driving! The front seats are from a ’74 Mark IV. The rear seat is ever so slightly and elegantly curved as you can see from the rear window. The rear seat is from a ’75 Thunderbird. The interior was done by Jim’s Trim in Bangor, Michigan. The door panels, carpet and headliner are in comparable condition. Both the front and rear vent windows on either side are functional and really help get air flowing through the cabin of the car! The dashboard is color matched to the exterior and has also been pinstriped. The pinstriping really makes the color of the body paint pop and it is spectacular! The dashboard houses a set of original looking Mercury gauges and a steering column out of a ’64 Riviera. There is also a small panel beneath the dash of four small gauges to help monitor engine conditions. This is truly a wild and wonderful Mercury!

Under the hood, you’ll find a 355 cubic inch small block Chevy mated to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Both the engine and transmission were freshened up so that they both run great. The transmission is shifted through the floor by means of a Lokar shifter. The engine bay is very clean and tidy with a small pod of gauges on the firewall as well as more pinstriping. This car is equipped with power steering and Vintage Air that cools by means of R-12. An aluminum radiator with electric fan help keep the engine cool and the engine breathes through means of a FlowMaster exhaust with Hush Power S/S mufflers that sound great!

The Merc sits upon a 3.08 Posi rear end out of a ’67 Nova. The car gets its leadsled stance by means of Fat Man Drop Spindles and Steer Arms in the front of the car and Posies Springs and L-Blocks in the rear. The Coker wide white wall tires really tie the entire look of this badass machine together.

This car comes with a handful of photos of the before and during restoration process. This car is an excellent driver and would be a fun cruiser for just about anyone! The VIN is 51SL58586M. It is being sold on a clean and clear Michigan title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!

Please do not bid without the intent to finalize this transaction. Sorry, NO bid retractions allowed, ask questions BEFORE you bid. Your bid is a binding contract.

EBay is an advertising tool and many of our vehicles sell before the auction ends. Call us today at 636-600-4600 to make this vehicle yours! Seller reserves the right to end auction early. We ask for a nominal $500.00 refundable deposit. This is unique to our industry!

Motoexotica Classic Cars has been a part of eBay Motors since 1999 and has maintained a great reputation and 100% positive feedback. We would like to keep it that way for future customers! The Vehicle is being sold by a Licensed State of Missouri Dealer (Motoexotica Classic Cars, LLC). You will need to check with your local government for any special rules regarding these older vehicles passing any inspections. We will not be held liable for any vehicle not passing inspection.

The vehicle is offered with a right to a personal inspection by any bidder or agent. If you or an agent upon completion of a scheduled inspection at our St. Louis location finds the car not to your liking, we will refund your deposit with no questions asked. Feedback MUST be left before the vehicle is released to the buyer/agent/shipper. If you are the high bidder and unable to inspect said vehicle before auction close, you or an agent will have seven (7) days to inspect said vehicle after the close of auction. I encourage a physical inspection strongly to avoid any misunderstandings or representations.

All disputes arising out of or resulting from this sale shall be finally determined by binding arbitration in St. Louis, Missouri in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall be carried out by one or more arbitrators in accordance with said rules. Any award shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction in the same manner as judgments. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the sale of the automobile described herein. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that Missouri law shall control for all purposes under this Bill of Sale. Buyer and Seller hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Missouri to specifically enforce the agreement to arbitrate and to enter judgment of and enforce the award of the arbitrator. All above terms and conditions are applied to vehicle sales, whether through EBay or otherwise.

Payment Terms

Payment must be made by Cashiers Check, Money Orders or Wire Transfers payable in US Dollars. A Refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be received within Twenty-Four (24) hours of the auctions close either by Master Card, Visa, Discover or PayPal (Credit Cards or PayPal for deposit only NOT for full payment). Purchaser cannot make any claims of ownership to said vehicle without payment in full. The buyer has seven (7) days from close of auction to inspect the vehicle. If an inspection or decision takes longer than seven days and you find the vehicle not to your liking, your deposit will be forfeited and the car will be relisted. Final payment must be received within ten (10) days of the auction close. The refundable deposit only applies if you or an agent inspect said vehicle in St. Louis and find it not to your liking. Documentation Fee: There will be a $195.00 fee added to each car sold. This includes title transfer, inventory tax, holding costs, vehicle preparation, storage and priority documentation delivery.

We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or problems found to said vehicle once they have left our property. We are just being realistic; most of the cars we deal in are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later. These are not new cars and your expectation should not be of a perfect, new car. Once full payment has been received, Seller will email or fax a copy of clear title, Bill of Sale, Buyers Guide and additional DMV forms to the Buyer to sign and return via email or fax. The fully-executed forms must be returned to the Seller prior to the shipment of said vehicle. Original paperwork will be sent to Buyer via USPS Priority Mail within ten (10) days from date of final payment.

Warranty

ALL SALES ARE FINAL WITH CAR BEING SOLD WHERE IS, AS IS! The vehicle is offered with a right to a personal inspection by any bidder or agent of any bidder. The vehicle is available for inspection prior to bidding. If you are the high bidder and unable to inspect said vehicle before auction close, you or an agent will have (7) days to inspect said vehicle after the close of auction. I encourage a physical inspection strongly to avoid any misunderstandings or representations. All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. No vehicle is perfect to everyone. Each vehicle has its strengths, styles, tendencies and shortcomings. Therefore, despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or previous owner’s diligence in care. It is for this reason that all vehicles are sold ”WHERE/IS, AS/IS”. We have described the above mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability. However, with all classic and exotic vehicles, the condition is subjective. Please be advised that no oral or written statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of the condition of the said vehicle.

INDUSTRY UNIQUE RETURN POLICY: If for any reason you receive your vehicle and have buyer’s remorse, are not happy with the vehicle or just don’t want it for any reason we will purchase the car back from you. We must be notified in writing of your decision to return the vehicle within seven (7) days of your receipt of said vehicle. The vehicle may not have more than 75 additional miles on the odometer from the time it left our possession and be returned in the same condition that it left. You WILL be responsible for a restocking fee that will equal 20% of the purchase price of the vehicle, no exceptions. You will also be responsible for shipping the vehicle back to our shop at your expense.
