Nice read, a few comments at end of article. May some of you guys may wish to chime in with the comments section.

Thanks for the heads up but the webpage wouldn't accept my comments. I pressed the FB icon and my comments were published to my FB page with a link to the article. I'm ok with that, but the 10 comments already there stated little. Here's what I attempted to post:


The 3rd gen Marauder wasn't meant to be a true 'Performance' car but more of a 'Boutique' car IMO. It's dressed to dance but not quite ready for 'prime time'. Add some 'tried and true' modifications (some inexpensive) and Marauder will rock the dance floor with many true high performance cars.

A quality leather jacket was part of the sale; fill out a card at the selling dealer stating which size, delivery address and it would usually arrive about 6 weeks later. The Marauder Collection offered jackets, shirts, caps, cigarette lighters, whiskey flasks, thermos cups, ball point writing pens and numerous other items through mail order.

All of these items are prized by collectors today, as are the Marauder automobiles. Low mileage, well maintained examples are getting harder to find, but do turn up when least expected. The Mercury Marauder Experience is truly unique.

Not a bad article. People are still thinking about them.

The 3rd gen Marauder wasn't meant to be...

FYI these are gen-4 cars
The 1963-5 cars are actually two generations because the chassis and body was changed completely in 1965.
