INCLUDES DELUXE MARTI REPORT CONFIRMS GREAT ORIGINALITY

UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1970 MERCURY MARAUDER X-100 WITH A NUMBERS MATCHING 429 4BBL BIG BLOCK. THIS IS A VERY NEAT ORIGINAL CAR THAT HAS BEEN RESTORED A FEW YEARS BACK. IT IS ALMOST EXACTLY AS IT CAME FROM THE FACTORY IN 1970 AS DOCUMENTED BY A DELUXE MARTI REPORT WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS(like white letter radial tires).  IT IS ONE OF ONLY 2646 X-100's BUILT IN 1970.  THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT.   THE COLOR IS ORIGINAL RED WITH MATTE BLACK REAR AND LOOKS GREAT TOO.

- 429 4BBL BIG BLOCK WITH 360 HORSEPOWER/ 480 FT. LBS OF TORQUE FROM THE FACTORY. THE NUMBERS ON THE BLOCK READ 0Z508153 WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE VIN NUMBER OZ61N508153. THE VALVE SEATS ARE HARDENED SO THIS ENGINE BURNS NO- LEAD PREMIUM GAS WITH NO ADDITIVES NEEDED. A NON ORIGINAL EDELBROCK 4BBL CARBURETOR HAS BEEN INSTALLED FOR RELIABILITY. THIS IS HIDDEN UNDER THE ORIGINAL AIR CLEANER AND THE ORIGINAL INTAKE IS INTACT. THE ENGINE RUNS PHEONOMINAL WITH GREAT OIL PRESSURE AND CORRECT TEMPERATURE. THE CHOKE WORKS PERFECT.

- C6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PERFECT. KICK DOWN SHIFTS ARE SET EXACT. THESE CAME WITH THE C6 FROM THE FACTORY AND I ASSUME THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TRANS BUT HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING FOR SURE WITHOUT PULLING IT.

-REAR END IS A 9 INCH WITH THE OPTIONAL 3. 25 RATIO(this is quick but great for expressway cruising also)

-THIS CAR WAS DELIVERED TO A WINSTON-SALEM NORTH CAROLINA DEALERSHIP AND I ASSUME IT SPENT MOST OF ITS TIME IN TH SOUTH. THE BODY IS VERY CLEAN WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE OF EVER HAVING ANY REPLACEMENT OF QUARTERS OR FLOORS OR TRUNK NEEDED.

- THE PAINT SHOWS AND SHINES REAL WELL FOR BEING A FEW YEARS OLD WITH A FEW CHIPS. I WOULD CONSIDER IT DRIVER PLUS QUALITY (not concours quality but does not need a paint job)

- THE CHROME IS MOSTLY REAL NICE. THE BUMPERS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN RECHROMED WHEN IT WAS RESTORED AND ARE VERY GOOD. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE PITTED AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND REPLACEMENTS YET. THE SAIL MOLDINGS THAT SURROUND THE REAR SIDE WINDOWS ARE ALSO PITTED. THE REST OF THE CHROME IS NICE.

- THE INTERIOR IS BLACK AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.  THE FRONT SEAT IS A SPLIT BENCH WITH FOLD DOWN ARM RESTS WITH NO TEARS. THE BACK SEAT AND THE DOOR PANELS ARE NICE WITH THE ORIGINAL EMBROIDERED DESIGN THAT IS REALLY COOL. THE HEADLINER AND CARPET ARE NEW. THE DASH PAD HAS BEEN RESTORED AND HAS NO CRACKS. THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL HAS A COUPLE OF SEPARATION CRACKS AND THE RIM BLOW HORN WORKS BUT ONLY IN ONE PLACE. I HAVE INSTALLED A VERY SMALL BLACK SUNPRO TRIPLE GAUGE SET(TEMP. LTERNATOR. IL PRESSURE) BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST THE OLD DUMMY LIGHTS. IT HAS A NEW DOME LIGHT RECEPTICLE AND COVER THAT WORKS.

- THE TRUNK IS VERY CLEAN INSIDE WITH THE ORIGINAL JACK AND SPARE.

-ONE OF MY FAVORITE FACTORY OPTIONS THAT CAME ON THIS CAR ARE THE KELSEY HAYES MAGSTAR WHEELS THAT HAVE BEEN RESTORED AND HAVE NEW CENTER CAPS. THESE LOOK GREAT ON THIS CAR!!!

-THIS CAR RIDES GREAT GOING DOWN THE ROAD - IT HAS NEW REAR SHOCKS.

- CAR HAS NEW DOOR SEALS AND THE SEALS ON THE AT THE FRONT OF THE QUARTER WINDOWS

- HIDE-A-WAY HEADLIGHTS OPEN AND CLOSE GOOD.

-ALL TAIL LIGHTS. HEADLIGHTS. TURN SIGNALS. DOME LIGHT. TRUNK LIGHT WORK AS THEY SHOULD.

- HAS A NEW CLUTCH FAN(bearings were noisy in old fan. never overheated)

-NEW BATTERY

-CLEAR. CLEAN NORMAL TITLE

-MILEAGE READS 26. XX I ASSUME IT IS 126. XX BUT IT IS BEYOND MECHANICAL LIMITS

AS I SAID BEFORE. I CONSIDER THIS A DRIVER PLUS QUALITY CAR. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE.   I WILL ASSIST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN WORKING WITH THE BUYER AFTER THE SALE. BUT IT IS THE BUYERS REPONSIBILITY TO ARRANGE GETTING THE CAR. BUYER IS REQUIRED TO GIVE A $500 DEPOSIT THROUGH PAYPAL AFTER AUCTION CLOSE. I AM NOT A DEALER AND THIS IS MY FIRST CAR ON EBAY. BUT WE HAVE BEEN SELLING FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. WE HAVE 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND WE ALWAYS TREAT THE BUYER RIGHT. I AM WORKING OUT OF STATE ON SECOND SHIFT. PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS: 810-964-0576  I CAN GET TEXTS DURING WORK BUT I AM SLOW AT THIS.

PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU INTEND ON ACTUALLY BUYING THE CAR!!!

YOU ARE BUYING THIS CAR AS IS WHERE IS.

THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!!!!
