Overview of 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe For Sale by Owner

The Mercury Eight is a quintessential example of what cars in the Thirties and Forties looked and drove like. Mercury was a division of Ford that sat between the Ford and Lincoln brands. However, it was retired in 2011, after over seven decades of existence. That means if you buy a Mercury today, you’re buying a piece of automotive history to behold. That’s why we’re glad to present this 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration for your consideration. Featuring an upgraded engine, this Fontana-based classic car is definitely suitable for anyone interested in American classics from defunct brands, who are also seeking something towards the restomod spectrum of things.

Exterior and Interior

This 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration is definitely a restomod, judging by its custom paint job that sees shades of purple and blue masterfully mixed into a final product that’s alluring in any light. The car’s low-slung, swoopy design has been further accentuated by its shiny silver chromed alloy wheels and chrome tailpipes at the rear. You’ll also note the shaved bumpers for that clean look, as well as the prominent chromed grille that just screams vintage. The interior of this 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration is a custom job in tan and black. The dashboard retains much of its vintage vibe, as does the white thin-rimmed steering wheel with chrome ring. However, the center console hosts the control panel for the car’s Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system, as well as a Sony radio with CD player and USB input. You’ve also got an aftermarket rear-view mirror for safer driving in today’s traffic conditions.

Engine

This 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe Restoration sees a 350ci Chevy V8 under the hood, presenting you with an interesting dilemma, since Chevy and Ford have always been competitors. The engine has been endowed with a blower for even more power, and drives the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. We’re also informed that the car sports dual Holley carburetors, a chrome radiator and even an aftermarket chrome fan for that extra bit of glitz and glamor.

1941 Willys Americar Street Rod

For Sale
ASK: $81,298
Miles: 1,953
Estimated: $828.15/mo

The 1941 Willys Coupe earned its place in American hot rod history through its lightweight construction, distinctive styling, and popularity among drag racers throughout the 1960s. Decades later, its unmistakable silhouette remains a favorite among enthusiasts looking to build something with serious horsepower and classic street rod character. This 1941 Willys Americar Coupe Street Rod follows that tradition, featuring an Outlaw Performance fiberglass body and a professionally built drivetrain centered around a massive 460ci Ford V8, paired with a C6 3-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. Finished in a striking Red exterior over a custom Tan interior, this example features a tilt-forward front end, prominent hood scoop, polished engine components, and staggered aftermarket wheels that give it an aggressive, drag racing-inspired appearance. Inside, custom upholstery, a woodgrain dashboard, and a Grant GT steering wheel bring a touch of refinement to its old-school hot rod personality. Showing just 1,953 miles, this Willys has reportedly remained with its current owner for approximately 19 years, having been purchased directly from the individual who commissioned its original construction. With its imposing big-block V8, custom craftsmanship, and unmistakable Willys styling, this coupe brings together the performance and nostalgia that continue to make traditional American hot rods so appealing.
