Now this just ticks me off http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercury-Marauder-1963-Mercury-Monterey-Marauder-Convertible-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem41 55688d68QQitemZ280605789544QQp tZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks

This is how the word spreads about all those Marauder convertibles out there. This is one beautiful 1963 Monterey S-55 convertible, but it is NOT a Marauder. First of all, it doesn't say Marauder anywhere on the car except the engine, and that's because it has a Marauder engine in it, just like every other 1963 full size Mercury.

The air cleaner sticker is for a 1965 and not correct for this 1963, but the valve cover stickers are right.

Quit trying to drive up the price with BS. Let the car be what it is, a great Monterey S-55.

Thanks for the info! I always take a look at the 60's Marauders that are for sale, just love em. If finances ever work out and I find one I like I'll contact you for an opinion as the Marauder expert. Also most sellers of these "Marauders" aren't exactly forthright when asked questions. Many just dance around and avoid direct questions.
