1940 ? Mercury barn find
Hi guys and girls, my first post…
My wife has from her family a barn that has a complete original 1940? Mercury 4 door coupe. It is located in eastern South Dakota. It is in rough shape but was driven in 40+ years ago and is all there. I am not sure what is the best solution for getting this into the hands of someone who can restore or even part out. Recovery won’t be easy as it is sunk to the frame in the soil, the body seems in very good condition although rough. I have photos and video but couldn’t get to the engine or underneath. I am not anxious to share details without knowing who I’m sharing with and I understand that makes it difficult but I’m sure that you understand. Can anyone offer suggestions? |

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
I'm sorry but unless this car is plated in solid gold and contains the corpse of Jimmy Hoffa just post the pictures and be done with it.
Its just another rusty car in a field. We see them every day. Kirk

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
Well, I'm interested in seeing photos or a link to a video. I hope the new member replies after this response. Maybe it's just my interpretation but this doesn't seem very welcoming.

I see that he has already mastered the 10 minimum posts to send PM's. And I will say "Welcome" to him as well and just hope he has not been too negatively affected by some of the responses. |

Yep - we need as many new folks as possible as most of us are getting a bit longer in the tooth and in order for our hobby and cars to have a future, we need more folks on board (including on this board!).

Re: 1940 ? Mercury barn find
I'm sorry but 10 posts of what I assume are deleted posts of photos because they didn't want anyone to find their treasure stretches my patience level.
