1970 Mercury Marauder

FOR SALE UNRESERVEDby PRIVATE OWNER
RARE 1970 Mercury MARAUDER X100
Car is located in Calgary Alberta Canada (approximately 3 hours directly north of Montana). Ebay does not have provision for people with multiple residences.
Only 35,631 miles. Authentic. Genuine. Certified.
Truly remarkable. Likely the closest you'll get to going back in time and standing next to a new one in the showroom.
Car was kept amongst hundreds of other rare collectibles in a private museum for many years then sold to a businesscolleague, who chose this car. We acquired it when his dream IHC Scout came available. It was absolutely irresistible to me. Since then, we haven't used it at all and are just finishing getting rid of all our unused oldies that we aren't tremendously sentimentally attached to.
Runs great, drives fantastic. No known issues.
New tires installed. Was still wearing it's original 1970 date-coded tires (with plenty tread remaining). This is the real deal.
Not much else to say. Worst I can think of is one wheel centre-cap is missing, along with a couple of the Marauder letters off the nose. And the factory battery hold-down is in the trunk. Asides from that, there's hardly a mark anywhere on the whole car. It's just incredible. X100 was the sport version of this model. They came with the 429 engine. This car has the optional (FACTORY INSTALLED) Kelsey Hayes aluminum road wheels. There are also 3 folders of documentation. I can't find ANY RUST. The backside of the wheel skirts are a real storyteller for most old cars. The backside of thewheel skirts on this old Merc are just as clean as the front. It is truly truly remarkable!!!
What an incredible machine.
UNRESTORED, LOW MILEAGE, ORIGINAL CARS ARE THE BENCHMARK IN AUTOMOTIVE COLLECTING. THIS IS ABSOLUTE INVESTMENT GRADE.
UNRESERVED:Now, as stated, I am selling this absolutely UNRESERVED. Starting price is 250 dollars. Asides from helping arrange your shipping, I have no time to take 99 more pictures, or have 2-hour long conversations. It's probably a misnomer to say I don't care about price, but I am knowingly sacrificing dollars to put more emphasis on a hassle-free and quick sale. This will be a great deal for someone, as long as they are genuine and sincere. As such, I am not going to get into long drawn out discussions as to whether it's a 8.5/10 condition, or 9/10. Let's just call this a 1/10. Perspectives vary so, for ease of sale, please disregard everything else and assume this car is an awful wreck salvage-value scrap project vehicle with worn out tires, poor exhaust, broken and missing pieces, and needing everything. My goal is to avoid insincere and zero-feedback bidders who will not follow through with their commitment. My goal is to find somebody genuine, who will really appreciate this incredible historic Mercury, save some time this week during the sale, and devote more to helping the new owner afterwards with arranging their delivery.
Also, very important....review our feedback please.Each is for a 40+ year old car!You'll see that getting every last dime of money isn't my objective. Money we have. We do not have time. Money usually comes relatively easy. Sometimes money goes easy too (lol), but... it can be replaced.Time cannot.
During our time on eBay, we've figured out a few things...We learned that 2 very important things arecommunicationandprocedure. Our little procedure actually focuses on communication. It goes as follows:

• After auction, we ask for your buyer's information.
• You supply.
• We fill in transfer papers and scan/send to you.
• You confirm spelling and information correct.
• You go to your bank, and send funds.
• We validate receipt.
• We begin on shipping,
• ...keeping you informed every step..
• You receive your cool vintage Mercury,
• You leave us a fabulous feedback,

We're not interested in Paypal or deposits... If you want this Merc, I'm sure you know the value of what you are looking at. You'll also probably want it enough to be sincere. Our procedure is simple. Besides 3 main things (information, payment, delivery), it focuses heavily on clear and concise back/forth volley of communication. That's important. I realize I'm somewhat the anti-salesman and have taken intentional strides to heavily under-represent this vehicle. That's fine. Of importance to us right now is a smooth sale to a genuine buyer. Somebody will get a heck of a deal.... If you are bidding, please be serious as I am and understand our adherence to this little system/procedure. It's to help both of us. If, for any reason, you cannot adhere to this procedure, please let us know BEFORE BIDDING. OR,....IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK OR ARE NEW TO EBAY YOU MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING.Otherwise, I will cancel your bid.

If you don't want to potentially risk losing out, and would like to take another route by MAKING AN OFFER, please contact me. Most of our auctions have in fact actually ended with me accepting an offer. I always appreciate the early-bird approach.
DELIVERY:...to most states and destinations is in the $1500+ range. Please keep that in mind. Budget for at least this amount. Texas and Florida, and other far southeastern states, are obviously a bit more at minimum $2250-ish. Any required inspections, certifications, registrations, paperwork, or anything else are the buyer's responsibility. I don't know the rules in each particular state so, am selling as per Alberta rules. My wife has become pretty good at setting up shipping and, is happy to assist. Rest is up to you. Payment is by bank transfer, US account to US account. As stated, I don't ask for Paypal. Once payment is received, everything else is ready to proceed from there.
CALLS:If you'd like to speak over the phone, I'm happy to hear from you. Please write and we'll make arrangements.
If you are fromEUROPE, please know we have shipped there many times. We are happy to assist. This car would be perfect for a EUROPEAN sale because it requires nothing physically or mechanically. It is in top-notch condition and should easily provide years of hastle-free enjoyment. Forget ordering parts or dealing with any restorations (or poorly done restorations). Perfect originals are THE WAY TO GO. Since beginning to narrow down ourinadvertent collection a couple years ago, we've sold to England, France, Germany, Holland, Slovenia, as well as theMiddle East and New Zealand.

Now, I believe I've covered everything I can think of.I suppose selling unreserved is a little like yanking off a band-aid. This is likely the 2nd last car we will be selling so I'd like to get this over with quickly.
With that said, here goes..............
