You are bidding on a very rare original 1966 Mercury 428 Super Marauder S-55 factory hotrod. There were only 2,916 S-55's made; it was a special high-performance full-size powerhouse with one of the coolest interiors ever to hit the assembly line; a combination of diamond-tuft and tuck-and-roll straight from the factory. They looked cool, they sounded tough, and they ran like the proverbial raped ape. This S-55 features the the highly-sought-after original high-performance "Q-code" 428 4v Super Marauder / Police Interceptor engine... the same engine that came in the '67 and early '68 Shelby GT 500. The car is finished in its' original "Olive Mist" dark green metallic paint (Ford called it "Black Jade," very pretty color), and black bucket seat/console interior color combination.

The car is best described as an original, unmolested, driver-quality survivor classic. It has a fantastic, even patina throughout and looks like a car that made it through unmolested, and unrestored. Hard to find them with this kind of overall balanced age/patina/wear... very cool and rare car.

This is a two-owner car since new; the first owner was an elderly woman passed away in the early 90's. She had a friend & neighbor who used to chauffeur her around in this car when she became too old to drive herself. The lady who helped with the driving then purchased the car when the first owner died. She drove the car occasionally until 1998, when she felt the car was "too much" for her. It hasn't been registered or on the road since 1998, although she did start and move the car occasionally "to keep things going." It's a complete, unmolested, original car.

The odometer shows only 43,239 miles, and the previous owner believes that number to be the original milage... she has had first-hand knowledge of the car since new, and said the car was only used for local driving. The fantastic condition of the upholstery, interior trim, pedals, carpet, doors, etc. support the low miles; they are in excellent condition without the excessive wear a 100K+ car demonstrates.

Interior is beautiful including the upholstery, headliner, dash pad, etc. Great center console, excellent steering wheel, very nice dash and gauges, nice door panels, etc. Carpet is the original and still in looks great. Everything is there, everything is in excellent survivor-quality condition, unrestored and unmolested.

I have just completed a full tune-up on the engine (plugs/points/cap/rotor/condenser/coil/wires), replaced the brakes all around, and changed the fluids and filters. I also replaced the battery and the ignition relay, as well as the Holley carburetor *(original comes with it). The car starts right up and runs strong; she is a solid runner. The electrical systems all seem to be in proper working order, including the gauges, lights, heater, turn signals, etc.

The car has an overall straight body with minor dings and dents, and the paint still shines well for an old, original job. There is some rust down low on the rear quarters, and a touch on the top of the driver's rear fender (was parked under a tree), but is overall a very dry car without major rust/rot issues. The floors, rockers, frame, bottoms of doors, lower fender sections, and trunk floor all look great. The driver's door and front fender have been replaced way back when with OEM parts; the other panels are original to the car The doors have no sag at all in the hinges; they are as tight as when new.

The grill is pretty much perfect, and the bumpers are straight, with the outer chrome layer beginning to fail. Glass is all original and sound; same with the exterior stainless trim. Original wheels and hubcaps.

All the original drivetrain is still in place, and the car still retains its' original engine build tag and body buck tag.

An interesting side note for you Shelby Cobra fans... most of the mid/late 60's Shelby 427 SC street Cobras actually came with this same 428 engine, not the 427 side oiler that people generally associate with the car. This would be a correct engine for your authentic '66 Shelby SC Cobra replica.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as I have the car for sale locally as well. If you would like to make me an offer through ebay, I might be willing to end the auction early to you and save us both some time. Clear title in hand, no brands or issues. You may call me directly at 360-936-9257 to discuss.

While every effort is being made to describe this vehicle accurately, it is a 47-year old classic automobile, and is being sold as-is without warranty expressed or implied. Shipping will be the full responsibility of the buyer; however, I will make myself available to your shipper for loading and pick-up.

Please be prepared to remit payment within three days or less of the auction's end.

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000." Scroll down to read all of the details about Fisker and Galpin's Rocket.

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest

Tue, Jun 16 2015

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black
