Mercury Marauder Project Updates

Do you have the Canadian code breakdown? They are different than the US Codes. The engine code is not part of the VIN.

 

That is a VERY rare car. If it has/had buckets and factory air it is one of about 100 made

 

I have three 64 marauder 4 speed cars.One bucket seat black on black fully loaded park lane.One white with red interior bench seat montclair.And the police interceptor is a white with red interior monterey bench seat with 4:11 rear in it.Just looking for that R code And I'll be good to go.I'll put some pics on as I go.

 

Ken,

What are the production figures on that "P" coded car? That has to be one rare car...... I dig that SOB! Eric

 

Well I finally got one of them out of the snow.This is the P-code marauder.Eventually I'll restore this one back to stock.I'ts going to need a lot of work but it will be worth it.I have it listed in the super marauder web site.Kirk has been helping me try and find some production numbers but just havent found much info on them.So far another one has not surfaced.I put some 15x8s on the front and 15x10s on the back for that low nascar look.I'm just glad the snow has melted and I'm ripping up some asphalt again.This one I'll wait till I can focus on only this one.I will be working on its sister car this winter.Ill post some pics of that one next.

 

I'm pretty sure the Park Lane I saw had a bench, or split bench...if I recall, it had some frontend dents and rust on the headlight eyebrows and rocker panels...it was pretty complete, and those guys tend to sell whole cars pretty reasonably...no clue if it's still there, been a year or two since I was there last, but God knows it's next to impossible to get a vehicle out of that place, and nobody really takes parts off of the old cars they have in that yard...someone really does need to save that car though, it's pretty damned sexy for being a 4 door...

 

Ken, the P code look killer. I love the look with the fat wheels, and the poverty cap. Now hit the Power Ball, so you can buy that R code Merc, too!
Eric

 

Gotta love those Racin Merc's. Cant wait to see them done.

 

I'll let you know if there is something I really need.I'll start the teardown this month and go from there .One thing is for certain the marauder sheet metal is a lot harder to come by than the galaxie stuff.

 

Show me your marauder projects.Always looking for ideas.

 

Pikes peak champions back to back 63-64.Parnelli jones was the man.

 

Check out this Mercury Parklane Convertible.What I wouldnt give for this one.Watch the you tube video and just listen to the sound of that cammer.

What a perfect car. Anyone know some details on this one, above?

 

How about a straight axle marauder.

 

One of my marauders. 1963.5 S-55 marauder.This one is for sale if any one is interested.

 

Perfect Color,but I don't have any room[or money]!!! ROY.

 

This is my first marauder the one that got me hooked on mercury.This was a great driving car.

1963.5 marauder

 

These cars sit at 19 feet for the 63 and 19.5 feet on the 64.You almost need a football field to park them.

Whats up Roy.I know you want this marauder fully loaded.Bucket seat interior,power windows, same color as your comet.Perfect for hauling it to the race track.You know you want this marauder.

 

do you have more pics of that mercury truck?

 

what he said ^^^^, that truck looks cool, we want to see more.

 

Not a marauder but my '64 ColonyPark. It has the 390 super Marauder engine in it! Any idea how many Colonyparks had the super Marauder in it in '64??

 

Heres some pics of the 65 mercury m-100 pickup

 

My 63 Colony Park is also the super marauder 390.Four barrel carb and factory dual exhaust.In my model year they made 7,529 of them at a price of $3365.In your model year they made 4,234 if its the six passenger model or 5,624 if its the nine passenger model at a price of $3504 a piece.I'll have to research the breakdown of how many was ordered with the super marauder package.

 

Some vintage shots of some marauders in Nascar trim

 

Early predessesor to the marauder.They called it the mermaid.Was built by bill stroppe shop for top speed trials at daytona beach.1957 mercury monterey.Anyone have any other pics of it.

 

63 marauder 427 debut in late 63

 

63 drag racing marauder at world ford challange in 05.Running with a bench seat and column shift auto.Still had the clear plastic covering the seats.Very nice car.

 

Ken,
Looks like you got the Merc Market cornered. Great pics, and I think Roy needs your Marauder, to pull the Comet to the races. That would be a classy combo!

 

Hey, there's something on your car
