'69 Mercury Marauder X100 FS WI. Craigs

[Pete Kaczmarski]

I always liked these cars...called the owner, he had it ten years and it came from Dakota's. I'm awaiting more pictures. My initial gut says 12k max to be a "good buy".

very nice! and close

Has everything I like: a coupe, big 429 V8, hideaway headlights, fender skirts, disc brakes, A/C, nice power options, great wheels and nice color combination. If it only had a Pentastar. If the car is as good in person as the pictures look,I am sure you can negotiate the price, but I don't think it's that off base, the Marauder was a pretty low production model and you never see them.

Really like it. To me, it has a squared off Dodge Charger look.

"blankin" love these "blankin" Merc Marauders, all due respect to all the Mopars I also love.

yes, this looks like is a nice one .. 15K feels tall, but NOT too much. Owner should get the "dramatic lines" shots (3/4 rear, full rear, side profile, etc.) tho to remind folks what he;s got. X-100 might even be a console car?

I am not a buyer tho .. wish i could get one though (that'll take a lottery win). even without skirts.

Low production only because there were no orders. One, not a lot of people interested in a very large muscle car. Two, it was a Mercury and Mercury was always second fiddle to Ford in everything starting in the 60s especially advertising budget.

I have a soft spot for These models as well, the blue example Looks way better without the Fender skirts and Vinyl top, they just don't belong on a "sporty" car concept in my book, especially the skirts.

Drives me crazy when I see a car with a vinyl roof and mag wheels.
Man, that's like eating an Orange with your Steak ...

... it was a Mercury and Mercury was always second fiddle to Ford...

In 69 I would have taken a Cougar over a Mustang in a heartbeat.

 

[cm23uoc]

The most likely ponycar for me would have been a Javelin I guess, but I never was too enthusiastic about this breed. That Kind of Buick-like sweepspear kills the Cougar for me as well as the Buick Skylarks of that year.

Believe it or not a friend here in Ireland has a green example (non X-100 model). Came over from England about 15 years ago. Will ask him for a photo of it

Saw an orange/black version "dumped" on the side of I-75 in Detroit circa 1990, and have wanted one ever since.

look at the mild to wild color choices for the Marauder.....

They even offered it in burnt orange to try to win Dave over.

There is a red one with the black tail treatment locally, too

I've never seen that model before. He should have some rear photos in the ad. When I read "blacked out trunk" I thought, "big whup"? Thanks for adding photos all! That is a striking feature!

 

[glennb49]

I think you need this in your collection Peter!!! When should we go and check it out?

Problem is that is the only Mercury people would take over a Ford.

As for sporty road car. Maybe in a straight line as it is only different body panels over a Marquis chassis with maybe a 1" front sway bar instead of the 7/8" bar. Same rear suspension of upper and lower traction bars, coil springs, and track bar. Ford pretty much kept that combination in the Crown Vic and Grand Marquis except for a rear sway bar in place of the track bar.
