This custom build merges two legends. It has the unmistakable look of a 1950 Mercury Eight coupe with some lead sled kind of style. But as you dig a little deeper, you'll discover this has the fuel-injected power and chassis from the last rear-wheel drive Chevrolet Impala SS. So take some time looking at one of the coolest custom builds around.
The 1950 Mercury Eight has always been one of the most sought-after cars for the custom scene. That awesome chrome grille, torpedo-like silhouette, and premium personality have made it a prime custom classic for generations. This one retains a touch of true classic flair with the bright chrome bumpers and full-length trim showing off the good lines of the sheet metal. But what really gives it added personality is the upgraded smoothness with deleted badging, sport mirrors, fenders skirts, and of course, those bright smoothie wheels with whitewalls. At the heart of this sleekness is the glossy application of Black Cherry paint. This color was also popular on the 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS. As you start to discover more of the integrated Chevy features, it really feels like a very cool way to bookend classic performance cars. After all, the Mercury lead sled was one of the first custom performance hot rods out there. And the 1996 Impala basically represents the last generation of full-size rear-wheel-drive muscle cars direct from the factory. So this custom combination feels quite purposeful.
The custom presentation continues inside. The light gray has a premium look, and it's a nod to the interior color of the Impala SS. But the two rows of wide bench seats with detailed stitching is pure 1950s cruiser cool. You have nice upgrades, like power front windows, a custom center console, a tilt steering column, and a full set of classic-style VDO gauges. There are even provisions for air conditioning (it will need servicing before blowing cold again.) Also, elements like the steering wheel, floor shifter, and AM/FM/CD stereo are all hints at the GM power within.
The engine bay really shows off this car's upgrading. After all, there's no mistaking a fuel-injected heart. The donor Impala SS was a true legend because it shared the Corvette's 5.7-liter LT1 V8 motor. It makes for a terrific modern custom that fires up easily, idles nicely, and has the power to pull this Mercury with authority. The four-speed automatic transmission was built to pair with this motor, so it knows how to shift smoothly all the way into overdrive. The Impala was also used to upgrade the suspension with an updated independent front end and trailing arms with sway bar in the rear. Plus, power steering, power brakes, and front discs make sure this Mercury/Chevy remains a terrific cruiser.
This is an awesomely finished custom build that makes for one of the best driving hot rods around. So if you want to get everyone talking about your ride tomorrow, you need to call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
