Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
Welcome DAF290, I would love to help you find a good home for your mercury. The folks here are always helping new members as best they can on this board. There are members that can help with the pictures( I have never mastered that aspect of this site myself) Can you give us any info on it, like any evidence of a major collision, does it have all the glass or interior? Cars were parked in barns for so many different reasons. Thanks for giving us here at the barn a chance, Tim

There is 10 posts with nothing in them above, and a comment that the original poster deleted the post. What would you assume? Kirk

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
ITS A MERCURY!!!! And family!! Not a common car. I have one the 987 40 Merc Fodor convert sedans. I bought her in 1956, sold her that year as Daddy passed, and rebought the SAME car in 2017. Contact a local club to come see the car. Learn who drive her and what the stories are that she waits to tell you. Give her a name. Be sure to look at the art-deco dash...

To be clear here, I believe there has only been ONE negative poster (that I see) in this thread. I certainly welcome the NEW guy, and only got side-tracked trying to defend his posts. Anyway, welcome aboard "Daf290". Lots of GOOD people here, for sure! Coop . |

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
HI Coop. Looks like maybe it's time to tell The objector like Kube says. " I can explain it to you. I can't understand it for you"

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
Hey Kirk, that's what he is trying to do and trying to meet his 10 post quota before he is able to do that. Come on Man. Chill it.

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
kirkf, Coopman has it right.
Last night I explained to Daf290 that he needed to get his post count up to 10 or more so he could do the PM thing with Members here. I told him he should post "what ever" he could on This Thread OR other threads to get his post count up there. He Never posted any pictures that I ever seen, he simply got his count up, that's all. I hope he posts some pictures of the old Merc, and maybe any other old jewels that might be in the old barn. .

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
[QUOTE=Daf290;2132861
"I am not anxious to share details without knowing who I’m sharing with" My opinion, with all the internet crap out there and being a new member unfamiliar with the many great people on this site I can understand some trepidation posting more info. I'm sure we've all clicked on something only to get barraged by unending ads, emails and even robo calls. Back on topic I'd love to see pics or a video! I like 'em all and especially a great family story. |

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
Just don't get in over your head. When you state that the car is "sunk to the frame in soil", can mean lot's of rust, including frame, floor, etc. Rust = repairs = $$$$$. Pictures are a must for any help on what to do.

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
Mat at Iron Trap garage on youtube did a series on a rusty merc coupe a while back, that might be a good watch for the OP about fixing a rusty car
