Mercury is one of those old marques that have been axed due to budget restraints and insufficient sales. Founded in 1938 as Ford’s top-end line-up offering catering to the affluent market, Mercury saw success, especially with its Cougar and Montego models. Produced under three generations, the Mercury Montego debuted in 1968 stopped production in 1976 and resumed from 2004 to 2007. It was a counterpart to the Ford Torino. Up for grabs is a two-door hardtop 1969 Mercury MX with a slew of new parts and performance upgrades.
Exterior and Interior
Dressed in a glossy black, the new paint job with the chrome trim evokes a sense of mystery and darkness for this 1968 Mercury MX. The front features a distinct shape with the hood and has quad headlights in an extended chrome grille. As mentioned, chrome is generously added, as it's visible on the front and rear bumpers, side trims, window trims, and taillight trims. Matching the car's attitude is a set of vintage-style 5-spoke wheels in chrome. Blue is the interior color, and it does look good with the exterior black. Along with the custom window tint are new side and rearview mirrors. New door gaskets and interior door handles are in place. New carpets and upholstery have been done for the seats and doors. Seat belts have been installed to the front and rear as reported by the current owner. The 3-spoke metal and wood steering wheel and chrome steering wheel are reportedly new. The dashboard gauges have been replaced with black-faced Dolphin gauges. A complete air conditioning system from Vintage Air has been installed. Power door locks and a new trunk bedliner are in place. The entertainment department has been upgraded with a Retrosound Long Beach Bluetooth sound system coupled to a custom-built rear deck speaker deck which has a Kicker K-410, and a Kicker DS-690 installed. Keeping the car safe is a Viper 3305V security system installed by the current owner.

The 1951 Mercury is one of the most iconic foundations in American custom car culture, forever associated with the legendary lead sled movement and some of the most memorable custom builds ever created. This particular 1951 Mercury 8 Series 1CM is far more than a restored classic—it’s a deeply reengineered custom build that combines traditional custom car artistry with meaningful mechanical modernization. Built on a Chevrolet frame and showing off a dramatic 5-inch chopped top, this Mercury captures the unmistakable silhouette that made customized early-1950s Mercurys so desirable. The extensive modifications elevate this car beyond simple nostalgia, creating a machine that blends classic custom aesthetics with significantly improved drivability, comfort, and reliability. For collectors of true custom Americana, this is exactly the type of car that defines a garage.
Few cars symbolize traditional American custom culture quite like the Mercury Eight, and this 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe is a beautifully executed tribute to the legendary lead sled era. Finished in Maroon over a maroon and gray reupholstered interior, this custom Mercury combines timeless post-war styling with carefully integrated modern upgrades that enhance both drivability and comfort. Featuring a dramatic chopped roofline, lowered stance, upgraded suspension, and modern 10-speed automatic transmission, this coupe delivers classic custom-car presence while offering a far more refined driving experience than a factory-original example. With true mileage unknown, this Mercury stands out as a thoughtfully built street cruiser that perfectly blends vintage style, custom craftsmanship, and modern usability.
