The frame and undercarriage components are in excellent condition, showing minimal corrosion and weathering.
Inside, the customization continues with a light gray and red vinyl upholstery, creating a modern yet classic look. The red carpeting and dark gray instrument panel contrast elegantly with the rest of the interior. Modern Stewart Warner gauges replace the original instrumentation while retaining the classic cast-aluminum cladding. A Blaupunkt AM/FM radio has been integrated into the dash, alongside the original switchgear for wipers, turn signals, and lamps, all of which are in fine working order. The interior is well-preserved with no visible stains or wear, and lap belts have been added for additional safety.
This Mercury Eight Coupe combines classic styling with contemporary upgrades, making it a unique and appealing choice for enthusiasts of custom vehicles.
