Very nice ..... but the 390 in this one is only 300 h.p. The 427 in 4v and 8v 425 h.p. Were an option but no a.c. And only 4spd. Those are the really rare ones. Not picking this car just saying.

Nice ominous look with the all-black body, tires, and rims. The "pop-open" AC is very cool. A simple way to cut off the venting in the winter. I like how they used the top-of-the-line Park Lane model combining both comfort and power. The "personal luxury" car is the one type that I sorely miss today. Sporty and fast, yet luxurious - and of course a 2-DOOR ONLY! LOL

[@iswc27]

Hi, Lou! "I'm not gonna let them catch me, no, not gonna let them catch the Midnight Marauder". The Park Lane was the top-of-the-line Mercury in two production runs, from 1958 to 1960 and from 1964 to 1968, before being succeeded by the Marquis. In between, it disappeared (as did the Montclair) because Mercury had to move downmarket after the Edsel's failure. The iconic black Mercury that Jack Lord drove during the early years of "Hawaii Five-O" was a 1968 Park Lane. You can get the full story on the series in the latest issue of Collectible Automobile magazine (June 2021). The Marauder was introduced in 1963 as a member of the S-55 series in the fastback hardtop style like Kevin's car. In '64 and '65, there were two-door and four-door Marauder fastbacks in all the full-size series: Monterey, Montclair and Park Lane. It returned for 1969 and 1970, with the X-100 being the performance version. It came back a third time in 2003 and 2004 based on the Grand Marquis sedan. Kevin is very fortunate to have found this one, being one of 2,721 produced. Thank you both for taking all of us boys along on the Midnight Run!

[@loucostabile]

Hi iswc27, "I'm not gonna let them catch me, no, not gonna let them catch the Midnight Marauder" that's catchy, that should be a song :-) The information you share is GREAT. Thank you for sharing. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou

Man, baby moons. I used to think they looked so awful in the 70s when everybody was putting Cragars deep-dish mags or 5-spoke chrome. I think some of the recent rise in the popularity of the plain "hub cap" look is from the way the cop cars are being dressed. Enthusiasts have realized just what a classic, good look it is. Another great find, really. Never even heard of a Marauder before. Thanks again, Lou. You da man!

They were nice handling cars due to the large rear overhang that helped balance the car (check out the profile). The CHP used them because of that. I had a '66 Monterey 390 three on the tree that made a great road car. Thanks Lou...

Very sweet feature Lou. Rare car - nicely preserved. The 390 was a torque monster. Reminds me of the time when me and my buddy were doing burnouts with his dad's '69 LTD 390 and snapped a motor mount. It was a long drive back to his house to inform him...

[@loucostabile]

Hi Audie, Ahhhh unforgettable burnouts in Dad's LTD....good times :-) Other then the conversation about the motor mount :-( Lou

Should have put heavy duty motor mounts from the factory. Must've been a design flaw!

[@russelladams6432]

"The Midnight Marauder" I like that name. So clean and subtle. The dog dish caps really finish off the look. The 390 was no slouch in the right car. My friend in high school had one in his 65 4 door Galaxee 500 LTD. It suprised a lot of Camaro and Monte Carlo owners in the early 90s. :) Thank you for sharing this one with us.

I had a couple of Cougars a 76 and 2000. My last Mercury was a 2010 Milan Premier. It was the most luxurious of all the cars I had. It was fully loaded with options. I wish they still made the Mercury line. The 2010 model year was the last. There are still some on the road, but not many. The older models like the 64 in this video are very rare. I occasionally see Ford's from back in the 60's, but not the Mercury's. This video was a real treat.

I wish I could post the before and after pics. Car was painted two years ago. And yes at Maaco but not some cheap job. It was about 5k for paint. We did the flow masters as well. I liked my rims better lol. He did put correct engine in it. It was a 352 when I sold it to him. I have seen this car in person since Kevin bought it. It is fantastic!

Hi Recalcitrant Productions LLC, Happy to read you're able to see the car again :-) Lou

[@YKXZWX]

It's my impression or the hood seems to be a bit short in proportion to the line of the car? Amazing car nonetheless.

Another really nice '64 Park Lane Marauder. This factory built hot rod runs as good as it looks. These video's make me wonder what possesed me to sell the one I had. Great car and video.

Thanks for sharing. Glad you enjoy this car & video :-)

Great video. The Baby Moons bring back a lot of memories for us guys from the 60’s who couldn’t afford Cragar S/S’s but absolutely HAD to shed the stock hubcaps or be labeled “uncool”! 😱 The trunk lid on this one is long enough to carry a tied down Smart car. Cheers!

What a Treat that Kevin let us see his Beautiful Baby. I love looking at this generation Mercurys. That interior is just Wow. Red would of been a second nice color on the interior. Love black over red but Black over white in this condition is Classy. Fun Fact. I had no idea that Ford products were doing the Clear Steering wheel rim. I thought that was a GM Only thing. Hmm. TY LOU

This is such a Big and Beautiful car. Lots of room, engine hub is very organized,WOW! Amazing. This must be Green Lantern's Car, right Lou. I was still a baby back then. Other than that, Stunning interior and over-all a Flawless vehicle. Thanks Kevin and of course, Lou.

[@BillofRights1951]

I had no idea there was that interim step with the AC in Mercury's in 1964. The Fords still had the "Selectaire" hanging below the dash in essentially a recirculate-only set up. This was the same... just a clever, more aesthetic dash vent diversion. The full integration with vacuum controlled baffles and fresh/recirc options became standard across all full size models in '65...
