Our west coast contributor, Aaron Von Minden from Savage Speed Garage has been working on this 49 Mercury for the past few months. The list of projects in The Garage has grown too long and it’s time for Aaron and the Merc to part company. This super clean retro machine is almost ready to roll, just needing your own style to be applied to the interior. Outside, paint it or leave it bare metal, though maybe a coat of satin clear might help if the car is coming north.

The mechanically restored Merc has already taken it’s first road trip, to the annual Paso Robles Cruise Nationals and performed flawlessly along the way.

Be sure to visit the auction now, as this supremely cool ride won’t last long.
