Summary
This 1949 Mercury Eight "Gold Rush" Lead Sled was heavily customized with a chopped, nosed, and decked body, custom canted headlights and taillights, and a gold metal flake paint job. It features a retrofitted 350ci V8, TH350 automatic transmission, Nova-sourced front clip, and a custom interior with bucket seats, modern gauges, and air conditioning. The five-digit odometer shows 22k miles, with the current owner acquiring the car in 2016, though the older paintwork exhibits signs of age and use.

revron Wow, almost everything about this car is right. Looks like it could have come out of the late 50's/early 60's.
