This Merc is not for the faint of heart it has someserious horse power with 700 (Dynoed) horses under the hood. I was lucky enoughto get a ride in this stunning car a couple of years back and let me tell youthis, if felt like getting shot out of a cannon. If you are lucky enough to winthis auction you will see exactly what I’m talking about.
If you are into head turners this is the car for you.When this car is out in the public it turns heads like you have never seen before.Everything about this Merc is beautiful the lines, the high dollar 3 stagepaint job it hasit all. This Merc is a true California car. Have you ever been to a car showwhere someone fires up a nice sounding ride everyone gathers around that carjust to here the engine run? Well this Merc is one of those cars. The beautifulsound that blasts out of the exhaust pipes is something words can not explain.
A complete 2 year restoration was completed on thiscar 7 years ago since then there has been less than 3500 miles put on the car thisMerc is like new. I would rate the paint on this car a 9.5 out of 10 there maybe a few flaws however I could not find them. This car is breathtaking to saythe least.
Here is a briefhistory on this car. In 2005 the brother of a good friend of mine bought thisunrestored 1950 Merc here in Northern California. He bought this car with theintentions of restoring her. In 2008 my buddy’s brother passed away and myclose friend Wade Bozarth (Bozarth Kustoms) inherited this Merc. In 2008 Wadestarted the body off restoration on this beautiful car. Wade finished this carin 2010 then took her to the Sacramento and Fresno Autorama’s where it won bothshows. After that it was taken to several other shows in California where itwon just about every show it entered.
My good friend Wade Bozarth unexpectedly passed awaylast year and his wife is having me sell this one of a kind piece of art work.Wade was a local legend in our area. Almost everyone that is into Classic carsknows Wade Bozarth in our area. Wade was a perfectionist he cut no corners.Wades cars would stand out at shows. Wade has built some of the finest cars andengines out there and there are several engines he has builtstill running in Classic carshere in Northern California.
Just to giveyou an example of Wade's attention to detaillast year before he passed away I was visiting him while I wasin his shop he was grinding a set of rings for a big block Chevy for one of hiscustomers. He told me he spends 8 hours on his small ring grinder just to getthe gaps absolutely perfect on a set of rings. I realize this info does notpertain to this Merc however it will hopefully give you an idea thecraftsmanship and time that went into this car. Wade could not have finishedthis awesome Merc without help from other skilled professionals.
Steve Pattee alocal Hot rod builder in Modesto California. Steve custom built the tubechassis roll cage and all the custom sheet metal and Aluminum on this car. Thequality of fine work Steve did on this Merc is second to none. I would like to extend a special thanks toSteve for helping me with all the details on this car. I could not have writtenthis ad without his help.
Almost everything on this car is Custom built and oneof a kind. This is one of the finest 1950 Merc’s in the country in my opinionwhen you see her in person you will agree. I have looked down the sides of manyHot Rods in my time. This Car is the straightest car that I have ever seen.Wade told me that the body was gone over with a 4 foot board to get this car asperfect as possible.
I’m also selling Wades 1953 Peterbilt Rat Rod Custom.If you would like another example of Wade’s craftsmanship please check out myother Auction. This Peterbilt will blow your mind!!!
This car has so many goodies that I will have to list everythingbelow. There is over $160,000 invested in this ride with about $40,000 to$45,000 in the engine alone.
I have over 100 more pictures of this fine automobileand a really cool Video of her running. If you would like to see more picturesplease feel free to email me dsbad76@aol.comor Call me anytime 209-595-6680
