Great read about why the Marauder is a future classic.

"Essentially, the Marauder was a hot rod version of the Grand Marquis cobbled together with other parts from the Panther line and other Ford cars. Taking its name from Mercurys of the 60s, it was a Panther built for performance, for smoky burnouts and ass-kicking, not hauling grandma to church or picking someone up at the airport. The Marauder was the street fighter of the Panther family. Character? Try attitude, not character."

Hey all, it's been a while, but I just ran across an article on Jalopnik (http://jalopnik.com/why-the-mercury-marauder-is-a-future-classic-925162402) that eloquently lays out a brief description of the Mercury. He extolls on how the the pinnacle of panther development will, as we all here know, will be a classic as the packs of panthers that roam the road thin.

Oh, and check out the comments where our own OffRoadKarter gives some extra Marauder love.:banana2:

Just don't go after the two trolls in there looking to mix it up. :argue: Not everyone has to love our cars, just the intelligent ones. :coolman:

[Ms. Denmark]

Nice find, Paul! Really enjoyed the read and hope that one day our "babies" will indeed be classics. But even if that never happens we can all smile with pride knowing we were fortunate enough to own a Marauder (or two) :cool:. So few will ever be able to experience that feeling...

[Ms. Denmark]

Yup, just read it, smiling all the way. Ryan and Paul both preached Marauder love. Thanks guys! Others may not know, but those of us fortunate enough to own one...we get it! ;)

[Mebot]

Good article and nice to see some recognition. Obviously this sets up the ages old debate about whether our cars will become classics. The definition of classic is up for debate and I'm sure we all have our own ideas (albeit biased).

The thing is that most of the responses are from people with objective reasoning. The point is, we all own Marauders for the subjective reasoning. Not for what Ford "did or didn't do right"

Driving from point a to point b is not the point. The car is the point.

I guess I'll have to keep them for 40+ years to see how this plays out.

[MMBLUE]

Nice read;)

[Darigaaz]

There is no doubt in my mind that the Marauder will be a classic in the same way the B-body Impala SS will be a classic. It is seen as the pinnacle of the platform and had radically different styling from the usual. Crown Vics and Gran Marquis are everywhere but people notice my Marauder when I drive by. When I saw my brother's Marauder I knew it was different and I knew that I would own one before I died (In a freak printer accident).

[Motorhead350]

I am going to drive mine now! Oh wait.

[Darigaaz]

Get in it and make engine and tire screeching noises!

Vroom Vroom!

[sailsmen]

I love running w/ Z06s at the track.
Some pull in the pitts and I just know their first call is to their urologist and the second call is to their proctologist!;)

[L.Mark]

Love the article if not for the truths that it lays out. I think the hype and lack of follow up is what helped kill them. When I was keeping up with them in anticipation of getting one, the performance they were said to be getting did not see the light of day. THE part I remember most was I believe the Car and Driver article where it said, "...two strips of black, first time, every time..." And comparing apples to oranges the TA and GTO of the time felt stronger and faster...even though they were of a different class...better marketing and more horsepower and they would have sold astoundingly...
But who knows, if that had happen maybe we wouldn't be here commenting on all this...maybe...:rolleyes:

[TAKEDOWN]

Whether it becomes a classic or not I KNOW what I have... MARAUDER on!

[MidnitMarauder]

I feel like Ford at the time should have put the SC engine from the terminator in. Probably de-tune it a bit to keep the Cobra at the top of the HP heap.

Stock blown 350hp, 4R100 trans and 4.10's. Cost difference to Ford would have been a couple G's at most. In the day, you could have chosen your flavor of blown V8 --- Cobra, Lightning or Marauder.

In my opinion, that would have really opened the eyes of the public to have a big-ass car running solid 13's from the factory.

[Joe Walsh]

Great read Paul!...Thanks for the 'heads up'.

I love how some of the commentators argue so vehemently against the Marauder being a future classic.
If it were so easy to identify a future classic...everyone would have bought a '53 Vette/'65 Cobra/'69 BOSS 429...etc.
....and then, guess what?...they wouldn't be a classic!!
And a classic doesn't need to be really fast...the '53 Vette and '69 BOSS 429 were not particularly fast compared to other cars of their generation.

The Marauder:
Undersold, underrated, and overlooked when new.
Rare....and getting rarer.
Cool.....with a badazz attitude and look.
Different....say what you will about 'parts bin' build, but IT WORKS!*
Appreciated by most car enthusiasts
Already coveted by many car enthusiasts.

I'm sure that in 20 years this will be a different argument....the argument will be about why a clean Marauder costs so much.

*BTW: Lots of CV guys seem to like the odd collection of parts that were thrown on the Marauder...LOL

and I am soooooo glad that very few people bought Marauders when they were new...heh heh heh :)

[Vortech347]

Had they come with eatons, they would have been coveted as much as 03-04 Cobras.

[Mr. Man]

Nice read Paul. I think the stock 390hp Cobra engine would have been the engine to go with in the Marauder but at the time they were all going into Cobras. Had Steve had his way we could all be modding the heck out of the old 5.0l pushrod but the Ford Modular guys destroyed the casting molds so Steve had to come up with a reletively quick replacement. I personally like the 4.6l but wish it had more ummfff off the line so some 4.10's are most likely in both our MM's futures. Great car to cruise in and of course the left lane parting of the commuter masses never gets old. More common with the Black car than the SB though.

Not sure where Ryan got his info on the wheel sizes as I was under the impression that Steve went with 18's as a size up from the CV,GM but we'll give him a pass as his heart is in the right place. Maybe it was something that was tossed around in the idea stages, like the S/C, station wagon, convertible or even the Ranchero versions. Wish we ould get Steve over here to do a monthly Q & A. Let him pick a few to answer each month so we can finally put issues to rest.

I think like the SS Implala's and the MM are already a Classics. Better question is will it ever become a sought after collectable?

What Killed the Marauder and Mercury was that ditz Elena Ford!

There.....fixed it for ya!

Glad that she got so many women to buy new Mercury vehicles.....:rolleyes:
I wonder what she is screwing up at FORD now...:hmmm:

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

That broad Edsel Ford ruined the Marauder. Of course, leave it up to an old lady to head the project...

Still love my car regardless of performance flaws or woulda coulda shoulda.

[sailsmen]

And the Ford family benefited all the share holders with their "recapitalization" which allowed the Ford family to partially cash out with out reducing their ownership %.:rolleyes:

Nice article, gotta love the lame comments posted about the article! lol

Right on! But, best car I ever owned! We'll see in 40 years;)

[Marauder85]

Has anyone seen the bashing our babies are getting on the page where this article is? http://jalopnik.com/why-the-mercury-marauder-is-a-future-classic-925162402 These uneducated people really are making me see red, even people that don't own one, driven one or even seen one are talking ****, I'll personally put up my 03 MM #101 of 7838 made in black title to ANYBODY with a Impala SS from the same gen, I've beat new, old and fox body Mustang GT's, tuners, Crown Vic PI's and even a new SHO Turbo, I owned a 94 SHO with a turbo so I know their quick, we need to go over there and educate these idiots on what their actually talking about, I'm trying I can't figure out how to sign up to leave comments because I'm on my phone and I don't think you can with a phone, shi*s pissin me off, can't wait to get to my laptop

Me thinks they <intentional misquote acknowledged> doest protest too much.

I agree 200%!!!!!!!

[VMARAUDER]

Hands Down...we know there are a lot of Marauder haters, but more admirer the Marauder than hate it. On this site we are not just Marauder enthusiast but we are auto enthusiast with a concentration on MARAUDERS. One of the best I have owned and I wish I had bought it new in 04...two many mouths to feed but they are grown now

[jerrym3]

No bashing here, but, as a guy that goes to old car shows every weekend, if, and that's a big IF, history repeats itself, most folks in the future will not even know what an MM is.

Today, put a 63 Impala alondside a 63 Merc Marauder and most folks get drawn to the Impala. (Same with my Galaxie, although at at a show last week, a very nice 64 Catalina convert parked next to me didn't get the draw my Galaxie got.)

Maybe it's because they owned an Impala years ago, or maybe it's because even back then, guys my age went for the Impala/Bonneville etc, or maybe it's because the name Impala is iconic, I don't know.

Unfortunately, the way today's buyers, young and old, go for foreign brands, the Impala may also be an orphan at future car shows replaced by the Toyotas and Hondas and Nissans.

But, the MM is a great car, and while I don't own one, when one goes by, I look.

I don't think we will ever see modern Hondas, Toyotas and Nissans at classic car shows......maybe at Ricer retard shows, all clapped out with horrid body kits, wings and fart pipes.
They might start "Boring Road Going Appliance" shows for people who kept their Accords and Camrys in excelllent condition.....:snore:

What Killed the Marauder was CAFE.

Actually Steve Babcock at MV9 said that Mercury as a brand was going to be aimed towards women and the Marauder didn't fit that description so Elena Ford was looking for a excuse to kill the project.
Steve had mentioned someone's name in the purchasing department who single handedly killed the project because he fudged a number on the cost of the intakes which ended up causing the costs to be too high and Elena Ford to have a excuse to kill the project.

I'm sure someone with a better memory of the story could verify and fill in the gaps.

I remember this conversation. Guys name might have been Kurt something. As I recall the MM project was to far along to outright kill so Elena said if the car sells it can continue, even though she wanted to build soccer mom cars and minivans. Price, underperformance, lack of advertising, car magazines that gave it ho-hum reviews and Kurt all contributed to its ultimate demise.

[Darigaaz]

A 1960s era Impalas will always draw more attention because the Impala was the first car to have the SS moniker, it was the originator of the Chevy performance brand. Not only that but it holds the record for the most sales in a single year of any car to date (1965 Impala broke the previous years record). It is an icon that is so engrained in American car culture that it is hard to forget. The good thing about the Marauder is that it never fell from grace like the Impala did...twice (post-1974 and post-1996). What makes these cars a classic is the revival of a long lost brand and keeping true to the originals. They were aggressive vehicles in a time where full size sedans had become effectively clown shoes.

Joe, I don't disagree with the "appliance" comment, but when I was a kid, a 57 Chevy Bel Air 283 PowerGlide or a 64 Galaxie 289/automatic hardtop, for most folks, was an appliance. Many cars at old car shows today were appliances back then.

Now, folks gather around a nice 57 Bel Air even if it's a basic 210 2dr sedan. Why? It brings them back to their youth.

If I had a dollar for everytime I hear someone at a car show say "remember dad's/mom's/uncle Charlie's, etc old Galaxie? Or, "I learned to drive on one of these old Fords".

But, most of today's youth aren't into cars the way we were when we were young.

As for Demmark's comment about my generation killing the Cord, Dusenberg, and Rolls Royce, holy crap!, how old do you think I am? (LOL)

Even in my dad's (RIP) generation, with his love of Nashes and straight 8 Buicks,
Cords, Dusenbergs, and Rolls Royces were not on his potential car list.

A lot of 55/56/57 BelAir owners might not agree with you.

How about fuel Injection on the 57 Chevy and Pontiac? Wasn't the 57 Chevy the first car to match horsepower with cubic inches? (283/283)

I owned a 57 BelAir, 283/220 powerpack, 3 speed/Hurst floorshift, 4:11 rear.

I put quite a few Impala SS's to rest, (and I got beat by quite a few also).

I did very well against the 348/250 and 327/250 Impalas, but when the motors got bigger (409/427), I quickly learned to back off.

[Darigaaz]

I meant specifically the 94-96 Impala SS and the 03-04 Marauder. While the 9C1 was technically faster, it was still seen as a doupey Caprice. The 1961 Impala SS was the first car in the SS performance brand/trim.

Yep....MSRP too much, too slow and I don't recall EVER seeing a Marauder commercial on TV in 2002-2004.
The only commercial I remember seeing that involved a Marauder, was a general Mercury brand commercial with a bunch of Mercury vehicles driving down a city street and the Marauder happened to be one of them....

Instead of old 20's, 30's cars they all wanted muscle cars or cars they could streetrod. Hence the market for old Duesies, Cords and Rolls Royces collapsed.

I saw those in NY - the sound track went dead - no voice over/music. When the Mountaineer pulled over as it drove down the road the voce over had just got done talking up the Mountaineer building to a big spot and then NOTHING while the Marauder filled up the screen and drove away. A deliberate effort by Ford to NOT support sales of the car!!
What a bunch of DB's - I HATE the marketing people at Ford!!!!

It would have been really cool to see a white Marauder and any other options for the 2005 Marauder.
IIRC, Steve Babcock said that there were two more colors going to be offered for 2005....

Hindsight being 20/20....I'm now kinda glad that they made/sold so few Marauders....:D

[jerrym3]

Did a little 1961 SS research, and found this interesting bit of info (something I was not aware of):

"The 1961 Super Sport package was available on any Impala, including sedans and station wagons (the sales brochure shows a 4-door hardtop Sport Sedan with the SS package)."

Also, 1961 was a year when a higher performance drivetrain (348 cubes with either 305 (standard), 340, or 350hp) was standard on the SS.

Later years, SS's came with a variety of engines, some not so high powered.

This also was interesting:

"In 1969, the Impala SS was available only as the Z24 (SS427), coming exclusively with a 427-cubic-inch (7.0 L) V8 of 335 brake horsepower (250 kW), 390 brake horsepower (290 kW), or 425 brake horsepower (317 kW). This was the final year for the Impala SS until 1994."

According to the article, the Caprice became more popular, and the bigger motors became available in the lighter cars, Chevelles and Novas.

Interesing read.

[Darigaaz]

I think it was 97ish bucks for the package, what a deal!!!

I did my exit research paper on the Impala and clocked in 35 pages. Used mostly service manuals for every year to show changes or lack of. The Impala was a heavy hitter from its creation till 1965 but it lost momentum as the mid sized muscle cars picked it up. The original prototype was awesome, basically a sedan version of the Corvette but the 1958 Chevy Bel Air Impala was pretty awesome. I would love to have a 1965 Impala with a 409 (early year) or a high performance 396, SS is optional but I would prefer it.

[jerrym3]

My cousin "Muzzi" (RIP) bought a new 1965 SS, white, black vinyl top, black interior, 327/250 4 sp. Very nice car.

I bought a 1965 Corvette 327/300 4 sp, two tops.

On Saturday date nights, I'd trade my Vette for his SS and head for one of the many, many local drive-in movies.

(Funny, I never had any trouble when I asked "anybody want to trade cars for a night?")

[jerrym3]

Our crowd was big on late 50/60's Impalas back in the early 60's.

Joey had a red 63 Impala convert, 283, 3 sp/column; Ken had a 64 SS burgandy hardtop/black painted top, 327/300, 4 sp; Bobby had a 59 beige convert while Louie had a 59 white convert, both were 283 PGlides; another Richie had a red 58 Impala hardtop, 348 PGlide, and another Richie had a 64 SS convert, yellow, 283/PGlide.

I drove a 57 BelAir until I bought the Vette.

Then, the musclecars went on sale and eventually replaced all the big Chevies.

Ford and Mercs were not very popular, though a few guys did own MoPars.

When I went to work for Ford, my Vette became my last new GM car purchase. (I did buy a usd 62 Impala white hardtop from my wife's uncle in the late 60's just as commuter car.)

The only Impala I thought was sub par with regards to styling back then was the 1967 model.

I just didn't care for the nose and trunk "droop" look.

[MinnesotaMM]

Always nice hearing some marauder praise :)

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I would have loved a MM in gunmetal grey, or the 90s impala turquoise.

:hmmm:.....I wonder if they ever made a Mary Kay Marauder.....:puke:

[Marauder85]

lol I don't know about everybody else but when I think about a pink metallic MM I cant stop laughing, good question though, now I'm going to try to find a pink one just to see if one exists. Funny ***** man, lmao

[Marauder85]

Can't imagine there being a Pink MM
:beer:

[TJCOX]

It's my understanding that The Cat in the Hat (Jack Roush) designed the intake and
exhaust for the MM's.
