Modified 1951 Mercury Coupe For Sale

"The Bean"

This 1951 Mercury Coupe is a masterfully executed custom "Lead Sled" known as "The Bean." Built over a five-year period by its owner in Wisconsin, the car features an extensive list of body, chassis, and interior modifications, all highlighted by a striking Camaro Synergy Green paint job with custom flames and hand painted pinstriping. Power is provided by a bored and warmed-up Corvette fuel injected 350ci V8 paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Showing just 4,500 miles since the build was completed eight years ago, this award-winning custom is now offered with a clean title.

Exterior & Body Customization

The exterior represents a masterclass in traditional and modern custom bodywork, with nearly every panel modified by the builder. The car was initially shown in Synergy Green before the custom flames were added to break up the monochromatic look.

The roof has been chopped 4.5 inches, and the windshield has been laid back 3 inches for a radical, low-slung profile.

Features a 1951 Mercury front bumper narrowed by 3 inches, Rambler bumper guards, a custom Corvette grille, and a louvered panel hiding bright LED directional lights.

The unique quad headlights were sourced from a Porsche 411 and mounted on an angle, while the 1975 Ford LTD taillights are cleanly frenched into the rear quarter panels.

The handles have been shaved and replaced with remote door and trunk poppers. The top door moldings were repositioned up from their stock location, and the front fenders feature a flipped and heavily modified 1956 Chevrolet flare.

Outfitted with 3-plug dummy side pipes, dummy spotlights, dual functional antennas frenched and mounted up front along with green LED under-carriage lighting.
