Vehicle Description:  1946 Mercury Eight 2 Dr Coupe.  This 1946 Mercury Eight had a frame off restoration completed in the winter of 2013. It was completely rebuilt using as many original new old stock parts as possible. Original style Mercury V8 24 stud Flathead installed after complete rebuild. Was bored .125 over, aluminum Edlebrock heads, mild cam, and a few other improvements were made. All new interior made from same type of fabric used when new. Original AM radio installed and in working condition. Original heater completely rebuilt. Dash clock is a brand new clock from original 40's stock. Original chrome and stainless parts were reinstalled after being re-proccessed. All new drivegear and suspension. I built this car up to be a driver and as original as possible. I did not want it to just sit around looking good, even though it does do that very well.

Interesting History: During the restoration process, I found out that the original from new owner of this Merc was the Texas Rangers. It was used to run down bootleggers between Abilene and San Angelo, TX until the #7 Valve was burnt out, in which it was then put into a storage facility in Buffalo Gap, TX. It was sold at auction and without title in approximately 2010 to an Abilene man. I purchased it from him in the same condition he obtained it in 2013. I was given zero hassles when obtaining a new title, but I was also denied a copy of the history from the tax office, which is something they have given me for other cars I have restored in the past. The history I was given about the car came from a retired Ranger who knew the car while the car was in use in the 1950's. I was also aware that this was a government car at the start of the restoration since it had every option available for that year, spotlight installed, and was black in color.
