Mercury Marauder
The Mercury Marauder is the name of three different automobiles that were made by Mercury. During the 1960s, the Marauder was introduced as the high-performance model of the full-size Mercury line; its Ford equivalent was the Galaxie. From 2003, the Marauder nameplate was revived as a high-performance variant of the full-size Grand Marquis. After lower than expected sales, the Marauder was discontinued at the end of the 2004 model year.
== Origin of name ==
The Marauder name first appeared in 1958 on one of two MEL (Mercury, Edsel, Lincoln) engines sold by the division in the Montclair sedan and Colony Park station wagon. A 383 cubic-inch ''Marauder'' V8 was exclusive to the division, producing 322hp or 330hp depending on carburetion. As an option, the 430 cubic-inch ''Super Marauder'' V8 was also available; with two four-barrel carburetors, the Super Marauder V8 was the first American production car to break the 400-horsepower mark.
In both 1959 and 1960, engine output was gradually reduced, and in 1960, the Marauder V8s became an option in Park Lane, Monterey, and Commuter models.
As Ford reorganized the Mercury line for the 1961 model year, moving the brand away from Edsel-based models and closer to the Ford brand, Mercury discontined the Marauder/Super Marauder V8s; the Mercury Monterey adopted the Ford FE engines used by the Ford Galaxie.
