Mercury Monterey, Red, for sale in Iron Mountain, Michigan, for $95,000.

No expense spared, ground-up restoration/build done in my shop. Eleven hundred miles since completed, still absolutely new. Extreme detail, fit and finish. All NOS trim and emblems. NOS driving lights. This car could be the best '53 Mercury in the country, it truly must be seen. Powered by a highly-detailed crate GM 350/300 hp engine, Turbo 350 transmission and a 9\"Ford rear axle. Lowered with dropped spindles and Posies rear springs in combination with power disc brakes and GM 605 power steering, hooked to an Ididit steering column. All combine to make this car a pleasure to drive with good power and excellent road manners. All chrome work done by Jon Wright's Custom Chrome Plating. Fully insulated with Dyna-Mat Extreme. All original gauges restored and converted to 12 volts. Original radio converted to AM-FM stereo with hidden speakers for great sound. Perfect paint in original colors of \"Bittersweet\"and black done using PPG base/ clear products. The interior is done in a near original pattern, but using enhanced materials and superb professional workmanship (over $10,000). I have all of the construction pictures and paperwork which will be provided to the new owner. If you want the best, this car will impress even the most discriminating buyer. I built this car for a wonderful gentleman and friend who, reluctantly, due to health issues has asked me to find a new home for his \"baby\". This beautiful 1953 Mercury is offered for purchase at substantially less than the documented build cost.

Reasonable, serious offers will be considered.
