from the generation archive
The 1969-1970 Mercury Marauder was a full-size two-door fastback hardtop built on the same body-on-frame architecture as the big Fords, riding a 121 inch wheelbase, three inches shorter than a Mercury Marquis sedan. Every Marauder got hidden headlamps and a flying-buttress roofline with a tunneled rear window. The base car ran Ford's 390 2V at 265 hp gross, with a 280 hp premium-fuel 390, a 320 hp 429 2V, and a 360 hp 429 4V on the option sheet. The X-100 made that 429 4V standard and added a matte-black rear deck, fender skirts, and styled aluminum wheels. Production lasted two model years: 14,666 cars for 1969 and 6,043 for 1970.
