Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 45 votes

Ford - Mercury 8 1940 . Similar to the Ford Fordor of its time but a bit bigger.

Working driving project. Was converted to a Mustang engine and 3 speed manual in its previous life in Peru. It was an export model as can be seen from the speedo in KPH. This may also be why it has 1939 style headlights and grill.

My plan was to lower it and air bag it eventually. Loads of work done so far:

Engine is now an overhauled 302, new shells, rings, oil pump, cam, lifters, timing gear, valves, water pump, alternator. Fitted with 4-barrel Holley.

Other stuff: clutch, radiator, hoses, prop shaft, brake drums wheel cylinders, brake pipes, brake cables, shocks, wheels, tyres. Rewired converted to 12v, battery in the back, electric fuel pump and modern filter, wipers converted to electric, UK spec headlights with built in indicators.

Chassis is solid and still has what could be original paint on it. Doors are solid wings could do with repairs in places. Interior is a bit tatty, no tears in seats though.

Paint work is thick from 80 years of resprays, I have started rubbing through initially to see the effect and decide if I want to respray or leave it, also because I hated the colour.

As I said its working driving project, but I've lost interest and seen something else I fancy.

If its not worth what I'm asking don't bother telling me I'll work that out myself, that should then rekindle my interest in carrying on with it.
