(Pics) 1964 Mercury Marauder

For '64 Mercury produced a big, powerful and good-looking Marauder. This is Yat Ming's version of it from a number of years back.

That 2nd pic reminds me of AMT Turnpike slot cars. Really cool Mike.

Mike, a little joke there huh ? The B-70's maiden flight was September '64.

PICS - Like these? I use to buy 'em, refurbish 'em, and then resell them on eBay.

The Valkyrie is one of my favorite aircraft.

I thought the '64 Marauder was the coolest looking Merc ever [PIC}

The super Marauder was a NASCAR badass and it even took the Pikes Peak race that wear. I had a rich neighbor that had his with the 427 4 speed setup.
I bought Tat Ming's first release in an uninspiring white. I did a lot of blackwashing and made wheel well trim and some other detailing foiling the painted trim. I never got around to raising those droopy mufflers and pipes. It's as close as I'll ever get to owning the real thing.
