Merc, value ????

cosmic12 · Oct 5, 2011

I have been offered a 50 Merc coupe for what I think is cheap.
Haven't looked at it yet but was told body is nice. It has been gutted of everything but the rear end and front sys, no chrome or any trim.
What do you guys think it is worth? I will get pics Thursday when I look at it but was just wondering what the value would be.
I am buying it so don't get any ideas

If it's a price both you and the seller are happy with, then buy it.

"Value" is a relative term at best...

And then post some photos[dr. 49-51 Mercs aren't getting any cheaper these days. If you can get one for a fair price...good on ya.

I have been trying to get there for 2 days, but chit keeps getting in the way

I will try again Sunday

that car is only worth $40, but I will give you $50 because you probably need the money. Let me know where to pick up the car.

50? Aaah I think maybe not

I finally got to see them today.
What do ya think now?

Blue Eyed Devil · Oct 9, 2011

Thought that body was supposed to be nice? Hope the price was right...

cosmic12 · Oct 9, 2011

Here is the 50

If they told you that body was nice they might also have a bridge you may be interested in...

The guy had so much more in his back lot but he wouldn't let me go through it but I snuck this shot. I saw a few 49/50 Ford coupes about 3 more Mercs a couple 56 Chevy 2dr wagons and there was more.

Ya, to say I was disapointed is an understatement.
But these are not getting any eaiser to find.

Look through the build threads on the H A M B. People have saved worse cars. How much was he asking?

cosmic12 · Oct 9, 2011

I am still pondering on what to do, like I said they are getting very tough to find anymore. But he has at least 6 that I could see and he claims to have alot of NOS body parts also.

It's rough, but anything is savable with enough time, money, and skill. Do you have all 3 of those?

So how much was he asking so we can give you a better feel for it?

How deep is your pockets. HaHaHa. I love the old Mercury's 49-51.If you can put the money in it go for it that's what I say!

cosmic12 · Oct 11, 2011

Ok, I have made up my mind(what there is left

)
I just can't do it so if anyone thinks they would want one of them or both I will be glad to hook you up. PM me if interested.
He wants $1500.00 for the 50 and $3500.00 for the 49.
