This one-of-a-kind 1951 Mercury could be the wildest modified car you’ve ever seen, and it cost the owner a staggering $300,000 to rebuild.
Built by Hot Rod Hanger in Austria, this custom Mercury made a big splash when it was showcased at the Jenkkiautonäyttely X-treme Car Show in Finland.
Chad, who attended the show, had the chance to speak with the owner, and it was clear that this car was no ordinary Mercury.
Now, you too have the opportunity to have a look at this beauty.

Shared to Chad’s YouTube channel, the most striking feature of the car was its paint.
At first glance, you couldn’t tell if it was gold or silver, but the owner revealed that it wasn’t paint at all.
Instead, it was a sterling silver chemical solution that was burned with a flame, creating this unique and mesmerizing hue.
When asked what inspired such a bold creation, the owner shared that he wanted the car to look like something out of a video game – a true cyber race car.
The project started with just a drawing, and after much hard work, it became this stunning vehicle.
The customized car also featured a snake-skin-like 3D design, door handles in the middle, and side exhausts instead of the usual rear placement.
Even the wheels were custom-built, adding to the car’s unique appearance.
The car’s customization didn’t stop at the exterior; the interior was just as impressive.
A pure work of art
Inspired by a fighter plane, the windows operated with old-fashioned belts instead of modern electronics.
Comfort was a priority, too, with leg supports that allowed you to rest your legs while driving.
One cool feature was an electronic button that opened the bonnet automatically.
And under the bonnet? The car was a masterpiece, unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Parts of a Volvo and Cadillac were used to design the front, and when the engine roared, it sounded like pure power.
This 1951 Mercury was truly a work of art.
