TMU Custom Lead Sled 350ci V8 Three-Speed Automatic Transmission Gold Paint Beige Leather Upholstery 15" Steel Wheels w/Covers Air Conditioning Custom Console Kenwood Head Unit
This 1949 Mercury Eight coupe was heavily customized into a Lead Sled by a previous owner at some point in the early 2000s.
Dubbed “Gold Rush”, the body was chopped, nosed, and decked, the custom canted headlights and taillights were tunneled, and it was painted gold with metal flake and flourishes.
The door handles were shaved and the hood was louvered, and faux lake pipes and spot lights were fitted.
A 350ci V8, a TH350 automatic, and a Nova-sourced front clip were retrofitted, and the interior was also customized with bucket seats, a console, a banjo-style wheel, modern gauges, and a Kenwood head unit.
The car is further equipped with power steering, power front disc brakes, and air conditioning.
Acquired by its current owner in 2016, this Lead Sled is now offered by the seller on their behalf in Massach...
