1968 Mercury M100 Rot Box

[StakerAlloys8]

I mean its practically rust free, only needs a few things, like all new sheet metal, but that's only a little bit. Drinks a little oil, slight exhaust leak, use a nail to start it, lost the key, has a slight knock, use thicker oil, brakes a little weak, but hey its got all new bulbs! I'd say 15,000 firm, no lowballers, I know what I got!

 

What Once was a beautiful 1968 Mercury M100 V8, automatic, in a beautiful blue metallic was then sent through 43 years of northeast winters (and salt!) then to 2 years of rough beater offroad riding, and then finally the engine started knocking. Sat for 10 years and then slapped together to be sold as a survivor restoration candidate. Somewhere between all the salt and failing breaks it gained a new bed, which never got painted blue. Hit a deer, driver fender was salvageable and oncome the primered fender and faded paint hood, which was off a junker F250.

 

Moebius M100 with a F100 hood, besides that box stock.

Thanks for Looking!

Great Weathering!

Looks like it lived in the Great White North, as you said.

That definitely looks like what I remember seeing on the streets of northern Ohio!

Excellent job on your Mercury. Well done.

To use an Equine expression, "This looks like it has been ridden hard and put away wet". Great looking body and finish.
