Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans:
Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. Chevy’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while Mercury’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. They’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts.
The Impala’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The Impala’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The Marauder’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers.
Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names. The Impala started as the top trim level on the 1958 Bel Air, grew into its own model in ‘59 and became one of Chevrolet’s enduring nameplates for the next half century. The Marauder was a Mercury muscle car from 1963-65 and again from 1969-70.
Hagerty, which insures collector cars, estimates Impala values range from $9,500 for a car in fair condition to to $31,200 for a concours specimen. The Bring a Trailer listing sold for $26,500. The Marauder’s valuations are similar, estimated from $11,600 to $29,400, with an average of $17,400. Marauders have also generated interest on BaT, with the one-owner model pictured above selling for $21,000 in January.
