Vehicle Description
1970 Mercury Marauder
While the big manufacturers were all competing for the hottest
muscle car the full size vehicle market was left open and Mercury
threw their hat in the ring with the classic Marauder. The received
some of the popular muscle car styling like the fastback roof line
but were sold as a personal full size luxury vehicle. It was their
highest performance version in this line of cars and although
initially being a trim level it transitioned to its own model in
1966. The name was derived from Mercury's top of the line engine at
the time. These 121 wheelbase cars had neat designs incorporated
into them like the tunneled rear window and concealed headlights.
This 1970 belongs to the second generation and is in excellent
condition throughout. It is currently part of a private collection
and looking it over it is clear it had been well maintained since
new. It is a nice survivor which has around 71,500 miles but it
sure doesn't look like it. The body is all solid and painted in its
original Medium Blue color paired with a Black vinyl top. All of
the original style chrome and stainless trim is cleanly mounted in
place and has a great shine. The glass is all in great shape as
well. All of the exterior electrical like the hideaway lights are
working properly. The original steel wheels are painted to match
and feature chrome hubcaps and thin white wall tires.

The car is powered by its original 390c.i. and runs out great. It
has a very stock appearance under the hood with a single snorkel
Ford Blue air cleaner and "Powered by Ford" valve covers. The
engine is combined with the optional heavy duty C6 3 speed
automatic transmission. The suspension and brakes are all the stock
set up and all functioning properly. Underneath the car is all
solid with solid rust free floors.
The interior is complete in its original Medium Blue color and the
upholstery is all in excellent condition. The seats, carpet, door
panels, and headliner all really look good. It has dual bucket
seats with a factory center console and horseshoe shifter. The dash
is free from any cracks and features all of its original style
controls, gauges and faux wood trim. The AC system blows cold and
you can tell this car was meant to be luxurious as it was factory
ordered with AC, power windows, power steering and power brakes. It
even has the remote interior control for the drivers mirror which
was a pretty fresh idea at the time. The trunk offers plenty of
storage space and houses a matching spare.
This is a really neat car and a very clean example of a 1970
Mercury. You don't see a ton of these especially in such a clean
condition.
