Details

Known as 'Misty Blue,' this true iconic custom lead-sled show car was originally chopped, customized and built by Rick Schnell over 40 years ago. It has only changed hands three times since it was built and always resided in prominent collections. A few years back, it was painstakingly restored to its original form with no expense spared. Once again it looks as it did when it graced the cover of Classic and Custom magazine many years back. Since its recent restoration, it has won numerous shows, picking up awards such as Best of Show, People's Choice and a Top 10 pick at the MSRA Back to the '50s, one of the largest car events in the country, to name a few. This Iconic Mercury is powered by a performance-built Ford Flathead V8 engine with aluminum heads, Edelbrock three-deuce Tri-Power setup and lake pipes backed to a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in show-stopping bright Misty Blue metallic paint, it features custom hand pinstriping, fender skirts, dual spotlights and custom body molding. Frenched and shaved throughout, it's topped with a white custom Carson-style top and electric door poppers. The custom interior was done exactly how it was when originally built, consisting of blue and white velour with custom seats, custom-wrapped dash, custom gauges, custom console, power windows and '50s-style candy knobs. The trunk is also show-quality, finished to match the interior. This car runs and drives as good as it looks. Previously part of the of the legendary Duke Thompson 'Duke of Earl' custom Mercury collection. A true vintage iconic lead-sled Mercury with great provenance. Awards do not go with car.
