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. |

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.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
