The mercury marauder is super rare. It’s either 1969 or 1970 and there was less than 300 produced each year. That platform is shared with the Lincoln Continental and Ford galaxy 500 custom. The Lincoln and the Ford we’re both fastbacks. I’ve never actually ever seen a Marauder in that body style only in print. Super rare. It’s nightmare fuel just thinking of trying to find parts for it.
First time I visit your channel; when I love exploration videos I saw something that kinda bother me about your videos. It is great that your family goes with you on explorations, but please, please whenever you go to those exploration adventures make sure ALL of you wear good hiking boots or sturdy shoes and long pants, cause that would protect you from any animal bites/ticks, etc. Also, is great to wear gloves and masks, specially when you go inside houses and touch things. Don't put yourselves at risk., specially the kids.
@@whatsaroundthebend I did! And it is awesome that you teach your kids about exploration and old things. Please, take care all of you. By the way, did you that there are people that post videos of rock hunting? Specially close to rivers in Montana, Michigan and Arizona. They tend to find them in lake and river shores. It is amazing to see the beauty of some agates, quartz, fossilized wood, fossils,carnelian, garnets, and jasper.
The TV listing you were looking at was from April of 1986 btw. so Mid 80s to maybe early 90s this place was last lived in. People had those 70s earth tone appliances for a good few decades despite the yucky colors they lasted a long time.
Those appliances did last forever! My parents bought one when they first got married in the early seventies, and we just threw it away. I hated to throw away something we had had so long. I believe that house was a man that sometime in the mid 80s. But it could have been a little later.
Be careful around old home places…DEEP WELLS…ALWAYS CARRY A STONG MOUNTAIN CLIMBING ROPE..200 feet!! Watch out for old floors inside old homes and MOLD TOO!!
Yeah, that's true! I sure don't want to fall in a well! Rope would be a good thing to carry. Been to a few lately that I wouldn't even attempt to go inside.
Looked like weather stripping or wiring harness. Does kinda look like a snake though. Venomous snakes are very rare in Nebraska and localized in a very small area unlike in the south where I grew up. We are still going to purchase snake chaps for extra protection.
Google Earth can see everything and any thing. Fine me a girlfriend Google Earth. What ? I have to imagine the perfect woman. From Google Earth. That's one in a billion. Awesome then find two. ✅🧐😂
1970 mercury marauder that car is worth, 3000.00 grandish give or take. ton of good part's left on her. that valance on the rear is worth about a grand. still has the console with shifter?!?! where exactly is this house at? i'd pull her out of there tomorrow. she would look good in my backyard.
The Jeep is a Willy's which dates it back to the early Sixties. hard to tell years as Willy's didn't change much from the Korean War forward. The seats were added later. The original seats were low and VERY uncomfortable. The Green kitchen appliances and the "Youngstown" kitchen tag tell me that this kitchen was redone in the early 1970's.
I’d be trying to save all of those vehicles. The Willy’s is most likely 1950s as it looks to have a generator. The marauder probably shares parts with other ford products so especially that is a worthwhile candidate
Just stumbled across your channel and really like it. You guys need to carry you some sacks and pick up those old Mtn. Dew, Coke, Pepsi, RC etc. cans and bottles. Big money in them now, great collectibles! God Bless you all and watch those nails! (Glen). WV.
I have quite a few old bottles. I bought a house built in 1900 to flip. It had tons of bottles under the basement stairs that I saved. I always wanted to go to West Virginia! I heard it was beautiful there.
My best guess is that this was some kind of crime house and the cars were used in various crimes than dumped no way anyone owns so many cars and they are all within 20 to 30 years of each other and some look purchased very recently from each other you don't just see two F-100 owned by the same person and dumped
@@farmkid4life355 yea or these might have been stolen cars but that seems unlikely as what would they have used the cars for other than crime and none of them were hacked apart so it wasn’t a chop shop either
@@whatsaroundthebend From the lic plate you can tell why they leftit . At that point it was just an old jeep and was easy and cheaply replace with something l . Now not so much .
That bumpside Ford F100 is from the the early 1970's. I say that because we have two Ford F100's, one is a '63 and the other one is a '64. The body style changed starting in 1970. The '64 was my husband's ride when he was in high school and he's 53. The Mercury Marauder's were awesome! We're a Ford family, but I am a MERCURY girl! I'm crazy bout a Mercury! I have a 1992 Mercury Cougar LS that I am the second owner of; it was purchased of the show room floor brand new by the first owner. It's all original and still is in pristine condition, inside and out! My next two Mercury's will be the 1967 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, which was a limited edition model, and then a 1949 Mercury. Ford never should have discontinued the Mercury line. NEVER. A teacher lived in there I'd be willing to bet on that. That old cast iron claw foot tub has really been through it! Dang! You didn that license plate laying on the kitchen sink??? What a great find!
We have always had fords as well. I have a fox body mustang, a near mint 89 f150, a 97 f150 daily driver, and a 69 mustang patiently waiting for me to spend a fortune restoring it.
@@whatsaroundthebend SWEET!!! My husband bought donor bodies with chassis because he is in the process of making the '64 a crew cab with suicide doors (the doors were my idea) that will end up being a 7.3l diesel w/ manual transmission on an F350 frame! As you know, it's the getting there that seems like it takes an eternity. 🤣 The '63 as it sits, runs and had a full race set up 400 in it my husband built. He scares the 🤬 out of me when he sits it sideways unexpectedly. He thinks it funny as Hell... I do not. BTW, are you a member of the Ford vehicles only group Slick 60's??? If not, I think you'd like it. This year's Slick Stock, which includes friends in Australia, is in Kansas and will be hosted by one of the guys I grew up with. It's a blast - people and Ford's! ~ APRIL LIPKE
@@whatsaroundthebend HOWEVER.. Some cars, and most trucks, do not change some/most of their tailight assemblies, so this means, you can find the same 3-4 year old tailites on newer models. When you run into that problem, look at the diffeence in grilles. After that, check reg. plate on door or body frame.
I'm pretty sure it was.. it's got a white round plastic key cover ...when you look over the video.. the tip of key will be on facing the left side of screen.. ..If it's not a key..then what is it..I know what ever it is its not suppose to be there....lol ..I hope in right....lol...
I was thinking it was abandoned close to 50 years as well but I did find a few magazines from around 1984. We are going to try to pay more attention to dates in future videos.
@@whatsaroundthebend pretty cool locations..it's amazing and a shame at the same time on what may have been going on with these properties. Keep up the exploring, but be careful out there.
All the cars had 1976 tags on them and the paperwork inside had 1979 on it the people who lived there had to go through the Carter Administration the Democrat were the interest rates went up 29% and runaway inflation. So obviously they didn't stay at that house they abandoned the place. And left everything behind. It may have been foreclosed on.

Yeah, parts would be very hard to find! It is the only one I have ever seen. The drive train alone would be very valuable.
That's a 1969 or 1070 X100 Mercury Marauder. Very rare car
Yeah, I looked it up and was suprised it was only made 2 years. 390 or 429 engine.
The X-100 came with a standard bucket seat interior and 429 CID V-8.
I had a Marquis once, it was a great car.
I would take the two Ford trucks. And the Jeep. And the bathtub ✌️👍😁
The Merk needs saved. 429!!! Whoever busted the glass out of everything needs to be bullwhipped.

1776-1996 is called bicentennial like the old quarters had on them
The 1976 on the license plates is misleading. We used them up to 1984.
The gauges in that old Willy’s would bring a high price to Hod Rod Enthusiast…The Ford Labeled Valve covers would bring a heavy price too!!
I bet it would. That marauder was only made 2 years, I'll bet the drivetrain is very valuable too!

I didn't realize how rare that car was until later on when I researched it.
That black rotary phone is like the one my daddy had. Wish I could phone him in Heaven and talk to him again.

That's the first thing that popped into my head.
That old ford p.up still looked in pretty good shape ! Not long at all you could have her on the road ! Thanks for the trip ! 👍
You are right! Did you see the Chevy's in my other video? The truck was in even better shape than that one!
The Date on the plate for the Volkswagon Radbit at 0:39 was June 1990
Good eye!
18:51 somebody save those turntables ☹️ but they are sadly probably too far gone…
Yeah they might be too far gone. I have a few boxes of them that we have collected out of old houses over the years.
I’d be trying to save all of those vehicles. The Willy’s is most likely 1950s as it looks to have a generator. The marauder probably shares parts with other ford products so especially that is a worthwhile candidate
They are definitely rare. Would take a lot of money. The frame of the maurauder is probably completely rusted out.

It does look like it. Another person told me it was a 55 chevy panel van.
Marauders are rare. My parents friends had one and also at that time had a Continental Mark lll and Continental Mark lV.
