I Bought the Cheapest Mercury Marauder in the USA by Mistake (Youtube)

Wow some great deals on here.

Found the car by accident. Belonged to a friend of one of my customers. Shut off when driving, was towed to a shop. They were unable to get it running. Sat for about a year. He decided to give up on it. I gave him 3k and winched it on the trailer.
New battery, fresh 93, and cleaned the contacts for the chip. It started and stayed running. Changed the oil and filter. Drove it a bit, and it has stayed running. Had one belt walking off a pulley and touching the timing cover. Replaced both belts, tensioners, and pulleys.
Drove it more, runs great, but lost 3rd and 4th gear. Need to get it inside and drop the pan.

You’re looking at a full rebuild btw.

Hoping for broken snap ring on the OD band. If not, then it gets a built trans.

Hoovie is just a used car dealer out of Kansas. A car flipper. He has a mechanic do all the work, probably can't find the dipstick on a Marauder...who cares what he thinks? And, the MOST annoying background music on youtube...Best series was his swapping an LS1 in a 911.
