Lot #677 - 1948 Mercury Eight Club Convertible
VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN OLDER RESTORATION!
PERIOD-CORRECT PERFORMANCE UPGRADES!
CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA HISTORY SINCE NEW!
ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST!
Less than 2,000 miles on the rebuilt 239ci Flathead V8 engine, 3-speed manual transmission column shift (three on the tree). Pheasant red exterior with red and taupe vinyl/cloth interior. Excellent ownership history, sold new in California and received a body-off restoration between 1990 and 1993. The car has been driven less than 2,000 miles since its restoration.
Performance upgrades boosting the output to over 135hp include: Edelbrock 9:1 aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock Super Dual aluminum intake manifold with two Stromberg 97 carburetors, Fenton exhaust headers, adjustable lifters, Manley valves, a Melling oil pump, an aluminum timing gear, modular impeller water pumps, an electric fuel pump, and a Motor City Flathead fuel pressure setup. A custom-built US Radiator with an electric pusher fan was installed, along with a dual exhaust system with Smitty mufflers. Factory options and accessories include: dual sun visors, deluxe push-button AM radio, Magic Air heater, clock, interior light, windshield wipers, push-button starter, stainless steel moldings, bumper guards, 15" wheels with chrome hub caps, and wide white wall Coker tires. There is no rust and no Bondo to be found. The floorboards are solid, as are the trunk and rocker panels. This is an excellent example of a driver quality car that's been well maintained and loved for many years.
