Fuzzy Dice Autos Is excited to share this incredible, highly desireable 1949 Mercury Coupe Lead Sled Hotrod! This beauty came to us by a local collector who is no longer able to drive. He purchased this car completely restored in 2002 and always kept it in a climately controlled garage. I have seen and sold many Mercury hotrods over the years but never one like this. This 49 needs to be seen and driven to be appreciated. Lets start with the body: The paint shines like new. No blemishes anywhere. The chrome may be the best part of the car. Brand new look all the way around. The 60's Desoto grill is massive and beautiful! The roof is dropped six inches. The headlights and taillights are French'd. As are the antenna ports. Hidden buttons under the rear fenders activate the door opener. The door handles, hood and trunk ornimants have been removed when it was nosed and decked. The car is lowered and is equipped with side pipes that are for show only. She does have duel glass packs. The caddy wheel covers, fender skirts and wide white tires really set this sexy car off! All in all it was a masterfull restoration! Nothing on the body was ignored Thousands were spent on the paint alone. The interior is tastefully done and in "like new" condition. The plush cloth interior is immaculate. No rips, tears or blemishes anywhere. The same can be said about the carpeting, dash and gauge package. The car is equipped with power windows, power seats, power doors, power steering and power disc front brakes and after market air conditioning that blows cold. Everything works to perfection. The floor pans and complete under carriage are excellent. Not a hint of rust or damage anywhere. I couldn't resist taking her down the road. The GM 350 small block and the 350 Turbo Highdromatic trans preformed like new. The car drives like new. Runs strong, fast and stops on a dime. The only annoying thing about this beauty are the people who constantly want to be photographed with it! I'm certain I've forgotten some special options but it's safe to say that with more then $70k spent on the restoration, this is one of the most beautiful "bad ass" hotrods out there! Unlike other classic car dealers who photograph their cars in professionally lighted studios or on Hollywood driveways, we at Fuzzy Dice shoot our treasures on our lot with nothing more then a point and shoot camera. So what you see is exactly what you get! We are offering this amazing vehicle at what we think is a very reasonable "Buy it Now" price. All we ask is that those of you that are "first-time" eBay clients contact us before placing your bid. Best of luck bidding! |

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?
Wed, May 25 2016Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
