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. |

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?
Tue, Mar 29 2016Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
