Dude, you're living the dream 🙌
A BEAUTIFUL wife, and she supports you're career, and doing what you love ❤️
Who could ask for more?!!!!
Imagine how beautiful this car would be after a full restoration !! WOW !! What a sight that would be !!!!!
Exactly.
Wife all of a sudden started coming into the videos lol that’s pretty kool
Hoped by presence would help the channel grow faster. Thanks for watching! We appreciate you 🙏
Those were very cool cars. Glad to see a survivor brought back to life.
Thanks. The styling is fantastic.
I have a '63 Monterey, this guy has a lot to look forward to if he gets it driving. I revived a Monterey 4 door, 390 with the Merc o matic. Same color as this one, but the Breezeway roofline, it had been sitting 10 years, but it was an incredible survivor with a near perfect interior and exterior not far off either. Got it running, got it driving, At this point i've redone all the major driving systems, plus I even got the factory AC going again. And it drives so damn smooth, goes over bumps like glass. I've put 2,000 miles on it now with no major issues. A real pleasure to drive, he's got a lot to look forward to.
That is great to hear. The Breezeway Mercs are so unique. Thank you for saving it.
That owner was pretty excited, glad you were able to get that beauty going.
What an excellent candidate for restoration, given the condition of the body, and a 2 door hardtop no less! The FE series Ford engines are very common still, and hard to kill by mere neglect. Almost as dependable as an anvil. I've had several of the 390s and even a 428 version, and they can be mild to wild, depending on what you want.
Starters by the way, are made to kick out when the flywheel suddenly picks up, so as not to burn up the starter. It just spins up like that if you are a bit slow in taking your hand off the switch. Sounds great to me!
That is definitely a keeper and it should be parked in an enclosed garage with concrete floor instead of a outside shed style building. I can see red paint peeking out from under that white and I'll bet that vehicle was originally red. This is a car that is well worth a thorough restoration. I am not a Ford guy but this Mercury is a well designed vehicle and it is so complete.
The first trip back to the hotel Richard looks like he's being held hostage. Blink three times if you're being held against your will.
For sitting all those years, the engine sounded good... that needs to be back on the road !
i had a 1961 mercury marauder wagon. loved that car
what sweet lady . getting rare now . a hot car great job mates
Thanks Brett!
Wow she is beautiful and great job getting her running again
Thanks! This is a beautiful car.
👍 that was truly great content. Had a 63 that looked alot like that but the rear window went up and down. I believe it was like 72 or 73 I had it. 🙏 Thanks for sharing.
Very beautiful car.
My local merc dealer had a 63 marauder in bittersweet i think it was the best! looking merc ever made
The style of these are hard to beat.
One of my favorite cars !!! Great job !!
Thank you!
What a great car with such a beautiful interior!Decent of the guy to leave you drinks etc…..
It’s so rad that you both work together to get these vehicles running. That’s love right there
Right on.
Happy to see your wife be more involved.. She did a great job.. keep it up..
Thanks! She is special.
Very special, You are certainly bleesed to have a wife that has the same interest and dedication as you do. Her partisipation visually and vocally adds to the video. Richard thanks for your desire the get out and get the oldies running again. @@whattherust
Reminds me of an old car I saw in a garage once it was a mercury comment, two door lot of Chrome and very nice .....
Wow! What a piece of art this vehicle is. Loving it!
Yes, it is a beautiful car. The designers must have been proud.
Nice car I have one and finally got it started so happy for the owner
Wow! That car is alot bigger than I thought. Love how thick the doors were back then. I'm sure after it started, that squirrel (or whatever it was) left real quick. Lol. So nice of the owner to leave you snacks and drinks. That's a first. Ya don't see alot of Marauders. I'd buy new tires, fix any lights, and drive it just as is. Beautiful
I agree she's beautiful as is!
Now it will sit there until 2055, and be backed up to the porch ,until 2100, great job getting that thing running.
Good Job NICE clean Car Some maintenance and repair well be in the road 🛣️👍👍👍
Beautiful job that's a great video 👏👏👏to you and your wife
Thank you!
That car is so solid and rare a true barn find.. Nice job getting her running .. Lot's of deposits on the valves needs run with a fuel system cleaner or something. anyway great content simply awesome and can't wait till the next video.
Thanks for the support Jeff!
A real classic, what a beauty, love to see it restored
Had one back in the day just before I left for USMC.
Loved the dash layout, the swivel seat and the 390 was the perfect engine for that car. Mine was a rag top. Burgundy tan guts.
Beautiful - loved it.
Another great video awesome couple car guy n car chic 👍👍👍cant wait to see the next car revival
Great episode, thanks! That trunk lid is ridiculous! - but I guess useful for table tennis...
Right, or dinner for four!
Man, I wish I could like this video 10 times. You’ve been a man on a mission as of late. And I’m a sucker for old Fords, so this one really got my interest. No need for this gentleman to restore the car, just get a gas tank, fix the brakes and drive it! 👍🏻
Totally agree! Start driving and worry about the paint later.
good job for a great cause congratulations to both of you god bless you
Thank you Jesus!
Now that car I wouldn't mind having. I had one just like it years ago and it ran good, but the transmission was screwed up.
Have a great day.😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great job Robert the car has great patina
Richard and Christine...that was great
Thank you Richard!
Fantastic work and video, I hope to see more 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks! More coming!
Great save! And awesome barnfind/ will it run! ✌️
Love those 60s Ford, Lincoln, Mercury interiors!
Catching up im new... this car is a one of a kind. This is no luxury car, it was Mercury's foray into the performance market, i mean the 390 was the base engine. The owner has an incredible car. What a team you two make in these videos. Im glad TH-cam led me to your channel. Yours and TheeTravisb in the same month. Im truly blessed! Take care.
Thanks Ross!
Its nice to see a talented individual who cares about people. Great job on your content.
Thank you
A very beautiful Mercury and one I would be proud to own and restore. ‘63 was a great year for Mercury and the Ford Galaxie. Great job on getting the Merc running and cleaned up!
Thanks very much John.
Nice work - The owner was so appreciative too and a lovely man to leave snack hampers -- good subtitles too - thanks for sharing
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
That is one beaut of a car, and it didn't fight too hard. Straight enough to warrant a paint job. Well done, folks. 👍
Thanks Bill. This is a beautiful car. A lot of people put a lot of time into designing it.
One my favorite show to date
Thanks Hermen!
Great job guys
Thank you for the support Harold.
Awsome car!!!
You are very talented mechanic to get all those cars running.
Thank you Andrew.
my dad had a 63 montery with the 390 3 on the tree. loved those year's of mecury's and their roll down back window's. lol
Yes, great cars.
another good job marauder was a cool car and i am liking the new name is that a 352 engine
Right, it is a great name for a fast car! That engine is a 390 FE.
@@whattherust was thinking 390 if it wasnt 352
Sneaky mouse running across the engine 🐀 😄 Another success story!! 🙌 So amazing to get this Marauder back up and running. Congratulations Richard and Christina for getting the job done! Looking forward to the next one! 🙂
Thank you David! We didn't see the rat until we were editing the video later. What a surprise! Amazing how clean the rat house was compared to mice.
l saw a mouse in the engine running down the engine
23,01 hhhhhhhh
SAME EXACT CAR ==MINE WAS BLUE I DID INSTALL A HEADLINER=RAN IT FOR 2 YEARS BEFORE THE TRADE==I HAD RESCUED A LOT OF OLD VEHICLES==I AM 84 YEARS OLD NOW==LOVED IT FOR MANY YEARS=EX STOCK CAR MAN==GOOD JOB'''
Thank you!
You have obviously made the owner a happy man I just hope he follows through with his plans and takes the next step. Take care.
Thank you! I think the owner will definitely follow through.
Hey What the Rust. What a great way to start your video. Two beauties in front of the camera. That is cool that you got the engine to turn over. And then even more surprised when it started and moved. What a great find. This was a great video. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍
Thank you Andy! Good to hear from you.
Fairly rare car you got there. 👍
I liken that car to Christy Brinkley, same age but still so beautiful. Fab video guys
Thansk Brian!
Thanks for sharing
I like how the lovely wife refers to the car as a her and she . “Marauder” has definitely found a good home 👍
It lives. Yes. Great job. Good luck.
Thanks David!
Great job Ms. Christina love seeing these cars being saved
Thanks Craig!
10/10 What a brilliant result Richard and Christina, car was lucky to have been undercover and, as you said, was straight as a die. I never cease to be amazed at how filthy and neglected vehicles come back to life and (usually) clean up so well. Onto the next one.
Thank you John! More to come.
I like the new format with you both taking part in the adventures and working as a team. Those Marauders were great cars back in the day. I always thought they had great styling. Great video!
Thanks so much!
Great vacation video. I have a certain fondness for the mighty FE big block, having swapped a 390 into my 59 Ford Galaxie. Like the Marauder, it had gorgeous stainless-steel skirts.That Merc will be awesome spiffied up and put back on the road.
I love FEs. Every time I work on one I am pleased with how simple and reliable they are.
It's brilliant for you to be on this trip. I so look forward to your video's. As a team, you guys are amazing. And, and here are 2 gr8 teachers...
Thanks so much!
Thank you Philip!
You make a great team, beautiful ladies bring good luck for sure😉
And this car was worthy of your efforts🙄
Thank you!
Hey, nice going, Richard. Wow!
Thank you Noam!
Another outstanding video!
I surely look forward to these.
Y’all keep bringing those dead ones back to life! 😊👍👍
Thank you Dan!
A little time spent sitting at the front and back bumpers and some triple aught steel wool and the owner would definitely notice the difference in the look of the bumpers. If it were mine I'd fix any rust throughs and the surface rust on the body of the car, and then have it repainted the original color of Corinthian White, add finding the original hubcaps and a new set of white wall tires and you'd have a Beautiful almost original Mercury Marauder. Nuff Said. Yall did a wonderful job getting that 390 unstuck and running and actually idling. I now have another decent channel to watch. I appreciate the lack of cursing that some other channels have on them.
Thanks Michael.
Excellent
Great job getting her back up and running. Now I have the song find me a Mercury stuck in my head lol.
Thanks Dennis!
@@whattherust you're welcome
Great filming ! Thanks , just caught it in time there , can't wait for the next episode. !
Thanks Steve. More to come.
I like that you appreciate some of this old stuff. Good job on getting it running.
Thanks very much.
Awesome rescue guys.....
So glad to see these old pieces of American automotive history brought back to life. Never again will there be cars and trucks built that possessed the style of these vintage rides. It is truly a piece of art.
Totally agree.
P😊
I'm 66 now, gotten my driving licence at 18, my very first ride was à 65 Ford fairlane with à K9 289ci 4 bar. carb aut trany posi-traction , two years later traded it fore a 64 Meteor convertible with à 352 ci, sold it cause this guy was crazy for it so, he offered $$ I could'nt refuse, my third ride was a 62 chevy wagon 11 seater With a 283ci 4 bar. carb. powerglide trany,
Man, driving those cars was so much fun, specialy my K9 289ci, if I knew what I know now back in the days, I would've kept that Failane!
Love that Merk, great vidéo! Cheer's from 🇨🇦
Thank you Roger. I agree, just driving the old cars is fun. That is missing from many cars made today.
Richard, you have the BEST JOB 👌 👍 in the world 🌎 👏
Watching here Philippines
Great to see your helper for the first time!
My wife helped me on many of my old car misadventures over the last 52 years!
Not afraid of getting her hands greasy or wandering bone yards for parts with me!
Cool! We have not reached the bone yard phase yet.
Another great job on a classic car. Love it!
Thanks for the continued support!
Mercury always has been a good vehicle,great job on getting it running and driving,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters
Thank you, Jim! Stay warm.
Hi from Scotland. Good job guys…in a confined space !
That’s a nice looking car, and it was nice to see the dust blown off it at the end. It sounded very good considering it had been lying for that amount of time.
Good teamwork there, and a nice touch by the owner to leave out some snacks and water.
Another excellent video from both of you, so onward to the next one.
Regards
John
Haud yer wheesht!!!!
Just kidding.
Thanks John!
Need some very patient in this narrow place good luck
Epic revival, my favorite to date, very inspiring for me to get in my shop and get to work, nice to see and here Christine
Thanks Doug 😊

Thanks very much. We are having a great time.

Thanks Fraser! The owner is definitely going to drive it.
What a car!! I would be so proud to own that. Thanks for another great video!
You're welcome Kev. More on the way.
Great job on that Mercury.I always liked that body style.
Thanks Neil!
Beautiful car and great work making it run again! I would just hose it down, make it technically sound and drive it with all it's patina
Hi Richard I like very much your chance I'm a big fan of you Richard and Christian she is very pretty I like all your videos with both of you may thank you very much for that videos have a wonderful day 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Alfredo!
Very satisfying video!!
Thanks Todd!
@@whattherust you're welcome
In 1963-64 I worked with a guy who had a Marader. I thought that was the coolest, best looking car I had ever seen.
Two things I enjoy in life:
1. Sleeping til around noon.
2. Waking up around noon and seeing your latest vid in my feed. 😁
Sly you're awsome!
You have the best comments David.
@@whattherust Hey, I just finished work and watched the rest of your video during my commute home.😏 I’m glad you finally got out of the sack and got the old girl running! Also happy that you two are having fun with this. You really need to put a little sticker on each car that you revive. One that reads something like, “Another Fine Automobile Saved By W.T. Rust.” Lol
@@SlyDellian That is a great idea.
Be safe & pull it out at least half way to protect yourselves from the building
Awesome video I hope they restore it and paint it red again awesome car
Thanks! It would look amazing in red.
My dad had a 63 Monterey, great video👍🤗
Thanks!
That was a great job bringing the engine to life again. Those were great cars that looked great as well. The fender skirts are a very nice touch.
Thanks Jeffry. This is a really cool car.
Good show! Christina Rocks!
Thanks Graem!
Great job in getting that beauty running again. I love your channel. Thanks!
Thanks for the support Dan.
I am having seizures with my tongue hanging out waiting for the next video. They are that good!!!
Thank you for the nice comment Steven.
Awesome video, another car in a tiny shed.Going to be nice when he gets it back on the road.
Thank you Jason!
Really enjoyed this one. Hope the owner sends you some pictures of it once it is restored.
Thanks John. I will keep track of it.
Awesome job, Mr.! Congrats! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
