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.

 You may call me directly at 360-936-9257

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
