Mercury Marauder Project Updates

Wow, that's a nice car.

 

Hey, i stumbled across this page while searching for my grandfather Joe Deaton. He drove the Tom Cat race car in the 60's. Do you have any pictures or articles about his racing? I seen 1 that you posted. Thanks

 

How About some 1963 Marauder Drag Race Action

 

I love the teardrop hood on it.

 

Really nice Merc you have there! I like the steel rims and poverty hubcaps! Just curious, since from the outside it looks , to me at least, the way it could have been delivered from the factory. (less bias plys) but the door mirror looks out of place. You did not want to go with a NOS chrome mirror? I like the factory emblems also!

 

NICE

 

I think that black car is my desktop photo.

 

Hows it going on your 64, Real close to mine, we will have to share some door tag info some time. wish I could get back on mine. Just a bit overwhelmed right now

 

I finally got to drive mine around a little today. I'm on my third set of front wheel cylinders in the past 6 months. Now it sounds like the water pump is going. In addition to the clutch and power steering control valve.

 

retrosteel, You nailed it. Love the wheels and caps.

 

I love this thread. I am on the search for a 64 Marauder. Love these cars. I am in my mid 30's but I grew up in Daytona and when I was 14 I saw one race the road track during the vintage car race at the speedway. I was hooked instantly.

 

Too bad you're not in Ontario I'd tell my dumbass brother to sell you his. It's a 4 door HT Park Lane Marauder In Bittersweet/ Samoan Coral.

 

Yeah Ontario is quite a clip away. Love that color combo, but if I had my way I would probably try to locate a 2 door.

 

Here's a pic. It's a dead ringer for the car Mercury used to advertise with.

 

Hi team . anyone out there willing to help a kiwi find the trim pieces for his 63 1/2 marauder.
any information or people to contact would be of great help . my friend imported his car and has rebuilt the frame motor box , and restored the body but is noe missing finishing details .
Any help please
Cheers from nz

 

I'll sell a whole complete 64 for $4500. What model Marauder? Different trim levels had different trim. Monterey vs Montclair vs Park Lane.

 

64 wrong year . same as the red one at the top of the page . 4500 . thats tempting tho

 

I had a '64 Park Lane Marauder for a short while, a long while ago. Tag said it was originally Pink Frost, but as I had it it was a darker blue. 300/390, buckets/console. Neat car, great lines. '64 is the top '60s Merc, IMO.

 

Wow, bucket seats and console. That means you had a S55 Park Lane. From the doors back, much of the 63 and 64 trim is the same depending on model.

 

Back to life. where has Mercury Junkie been hiding LOL.

A couple of a stock car Marauder driven by junior Johnson in 1953

 

A little photo to bring this back from the dead.

Super Marauder 427

 

Sorry its been awhile, The poor Marauders have been sitting, Trying to get this one done

 

Wow that is nice. Had a stock one myself. The fiberglass hood drove the happy radio nuts. Tried every old trick in the books to get rid of the static nothing worked until I scrapped off a bit of paint on the "screen" type material on the bottom side of the hood and grounded it. That worked, it was weird you could see what looked like screen from an old screen door sandwiched between the top layer of the hood and the lower reinforcing ribs

 

Anybody know the story on this "Marauder" LOL. doing a series on Dyno Don in the comet thread and noticed the marauder markings on his comet?

 

How about a "Super Marauder" Funny Car LOL. in action at dover dragstrip NY.

 

Back to life with this engine shot from unknown car at beaver springs this year.

 

Great pics!!
