Time to retire some toys need to go! This one is a 1963 1/2 Mercury Marauder S55. This car was as the story goes was bought new by a lady in the Los Angeles, Ca area. Was driven until 1979 when for what ever reason it was put in storage. It was brought out of storage early in 2013, two gentlemen in Florida purchased it, had hauled to Florida and did what is being called a preservation that included changing all fluids, going thru the brakes, new tires, installing a Petronix ignition and a new headliner and trunk mat. The mane thing was to make sure it was safe to drive after all those years in storage. This is one rare car there was only 9615 63 1/2 fastback Marauder's built, of that only 2317 S55 versions and this is thought to be the only one painted the ultra rare F-code Pink Lustre paint. To go along with the rare factor is the fact that according Barrett-Jackson archives they have sold only one 63 1/2 Marauder and it wasn't a S55 version. Also according to Mecum archives they have never sold 63 1/2 Marauder much less an S55. This the Mercury version of the 500XL there is a lot 500 XL's around so to speak but try find an S55! After I bought the S55 I had some more work done, there was an exhaust leak at the manifolds new gaskets, automatic choke was missing parts, transmission was not working right had it rebuilt, fuel gauge not working had it fixed, brake hoses looked bad replaced. This car is very much the way it came of the assembly line, very much original, the battery cables, the exhaust system, the interior. There is no sign of any body work, but the paint is a little thin in spots, the stainless trim is all great shape, the chrome is very good with some minor pitting. There is some sun damage to the top of the back seat, if you look close at the photos you can see it. There is also two seams coming apart on front seats that you can also see. The rest of the interior is very good shape in my opinion. Look over the photos close, I have tried my best show the good stuff along with the bad. The car drives very good, runs out good, the miles are 24000 I am not sure of the exact miles but it is not over 24500. NO PAYPAL! CASHIERS CHECK OR PERSONAL CHECK IS OK BUT IT WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL FUNDS CLEAR THE BANK!!!
On Feb-13-14 at 20:19:07 PST, seller added the following information: Payment in ten days, but the car can stay here for up to ninety days or longer if need be. It is in out of the weather and will stay that way till picked up. |

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
