Maroon Manatee: 1969 Mercury Marauder X100
You can’t blame the insane prices of 60s muscle cars on the modern online auction sites. Certainly you can blame those sites for other righteously priced pieces of machinery, but the big block powered ’60s classics became expensive before most people had an internet connection…so it is surprising when you find something that is simultaneously cool, interesting, rare, muscly, and reasonably priced. Find this 1969 Mercury Marauder X100 offered for $14,500 in Long Beach, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

So awesome!
Originally owned by the hipster owner of the corner dry cleaners who wore turtle neck sweaters………and cruised the local community college for dashiki wearing co-eds
It’s like a ’60s version of a Merc lead sled, and a whole lot of car for the money. Excellent find.
