Description
I have listed my Mercury pickup under "Ford" because I feel very few people even know that there was a Mercury brand pickup. The Mercs were basically the same as the F-1 Fords but had more deluxe trim (see interior and front fenders) and were produced only for the Canadian market. This model, M-47, corresponds to the Ford F-1 which was completely revised in appearance for the 1948 model year.
My Mercury has had a complete body restoration including all chrome and stainless trim, gaskets and seals around doors and windows and new glass (tinted). The paint is a beautiful Deep Evergreen which is a 1997-98 Ford color. In certain light it looks dark green and then it appears to change to blue as you walk around the truck and go from bright light to shadow. This is the first thing people say when they see this truck: "I LOVE the color!" It will be a star in any show.
Some of the upgrades include: a Buick Riviera 455 engine and TH 400 transmission, nine inch Ford rear end, Heidt Mustang II front end, 11 in. power front disc brakes, power steering and seat, GM tilt steering wheel (Le Carra brand, leather wrapped), air shocks and American Racing "daisy" pattern wheels. Exterior mods include a new oak bed with stainless strips, a diamond plate tool box and a custom bed cover. Also featured are twin working spot lights and twin fog lamps with Mercury logo (not hooked up). Body-wise it is completely stock. The leather seat is out of a Buick. I have fitted new retractable 3-point seat belts.
The only components that are not working are the speedometer and odometer. I believe they were never hooked up to the tranny after the conversion.
Included is an A/C setup (see photo) which a previous owner never installed. He told me that it is complete except that it needs an adapter to fit the compressor to the engine.
Pickup trucks are the hottest thing on the collector vehicle market at this time. You can take this vehicle to a show and expect to get a trophy.
You can own this great truck for a fraction of what it would cost to have such a vehicle built.
Successful bidder to pay a $500 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 48 hours after sale. Balance to be paid by bank-to-bank money transfer ONLY within ten days of sale.
Successful bidder to arrange and pay for shipping. I am not interested in taking any vehicles in trade.
Please get your shipping estimates before bidding so there are no surprises. There are many shippers on-line to choose from. I recommend shipping by enclosed carrier. My zip code for shipping purposes is 97471.
Successful bidder is expected to follow through on the purchase and remove the truck within 30 days. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY BIDS FROM BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACKS unless such person contacts me with their address and phone number before bidding. I reserve the right to cancel any bid from someone with an unfavorable feedback rating. I am adding these conditions because of previous experience.
I believe I have described this vehicle honestly to the best of my ability but due to its age I offer no warranties or guarantees. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking!
