Yes, these Mercs are very rare but these pics are wretched. Original rare 1970 Mercury Marauder X-100 - cars & trucks - by owner... (craigslist.org)
Lol yes that gives you added comfort the true condition of the car. Especially if the picture was taken within the last 10 years.
This may or may not be a fake ad. I am their target buyer, and I'd feel dry-raped if I paid 32.5g's for this car. Night be a nice 13-15K ride though.
Only 52 made, my a**........................ This page, from Mercury Stuff.com details that 2,646 Marauder X-100's were built in the 1970 model year....... http://www.mercurystuff.com/1970-models/
And if you didn't mind having "just" a 390 - you could also have the base Marauder, which was probably good for a few thousand sales too.
I'd call this a much better deal. Has PW and priced much less. Mercury Marauder 2dr 1969 (countryclassiccars.com)
