If you are on the hunt for classic cars, there is no shortage of websites out there to help you find what you're looking for. Take classiccars.com, for example, which features some pretty awesome classic machines of all different kinds and styles. You are bound to find something you like there. In fact, you might like what is currently on offer. Located in Lithia Springs, Georgia is this 1950 Mercury M74 Hot Rod that's currently listed for just under $47,000 and in a rather fetching blue color scheme.
A Cool Custom Build
Like this other Hot Rod style Mercury, this is one hell of a cool machine. This car is actually a custom build, borrowing pieces from all manner of classics that have all been meshed together to create this rather awesome machine. One of the standout features is that amazingly sleek body, simply making this one hell of a gorgeous car. You might even call it a work of art. And it doesn’t stop there, with the car powered by a mighty V8 and it even has custom AC!
The V8 is a 350 cubic-inch V8 engine, and it has all sorts of features such as the Holy four-barrel carburetor, headers, electronic ignition, serpentine belt system, and an aluminum radiator. That radiator also features dual electric fans that keep the whole car running nice and cool. The car is finished in a gorgeous matte blue, and the car had inches taken out of the roof to make it look like it was this height and style right from its birth.
A Different Style M74
Mercury cars have always had a lot of style to them, but this one is a bit special. You might also have realized that this is a two-door. The M74 was actually a four-door sedan body. So now, the car has just a smaller front door, but you gain an amazing shape and the lack of the other two doors adds a very cool layer of elegance to the car. There are some great details too such as the Mercury grille, the well-tucked bumpers, and a very cool looking bullet-style set of front wheel covers. This custom build has it all!
