Hello! Tom here and I just joined the Mercury Forum tonight. I've been a Ford/Mercury guy for many years and have enjoyed owning some Muscle
Cars such as the 1968 Ford Torino GT with the Cobra Jet Package. My first
Ford was a 56 Custom liner that had a 57 Mercury 312 ci engine. This car
was a real sleeper and fun to drive. The Mercury engine has about 10 more
more horsepower than the Ford 312. Some 312's were Paxton Super Charged
from the factory such as the 57 Thunderbird. One of the favorite is my 2003
Marauder that I owned since 2006. I believe it was almost as quick as the 428 CJ.
I'm proud of becoming a member of this organization and maybe I will get to meet some of you one day.
Have a Good Week & Drive Safe!

 

Hello, Tom -- and welcome to the Mercury Forums.
Do you still have that Marauder ?? If so, let's see some pictures, and tell us what modifications you've made, if any.
I'm currently driving a 1995 Grand Marquis restoration project car that I've owned since 2005.
As a lifetime auto enthusiast, I do my own maintenance, service, and repairs -- as well as any modifications.
