I've always like the Marauder's but they're becoming more and attractive to me.

Here's a nice one. Not a bad price either for the mileage.

LOL. I do have gray hair already...

There is a mean looking Marauder running around here in Wyomissing. It appears to be far from stock too. I know it has a S/C. You can see the intercooler through the front valence. I just wish I could talk to the person who owns it and find out what is done to it.

BTW-I can't get the link to work ... But, I don't dislike them at all, just not my cup of tea.

Oh, and I have a few gray hairs too

I've always liked the Marauders myself. Nice, mean look and the sweet 32-valve 4.6L. If I could find one for a good price that was in excellent shape, I'd snag it. Yes, I have a few white hairs too!

My spot looks like the opposite of Jay Leno kind of....

Nah, just older. When the stock Merc or Crown Vic appeals to you, THEN worry.

302 Hp @ 5750 RPM's and 318ft-lbs of Tq. @ 4250 RPM's.

Claims of 0-60 have been as low as 6.5 seconds (from what I've seen)

I love the Marauders! Though I'm not a big of fan of the chrome around the doors pillars on (I think) the last model year.

I personally think the '96 Impala SS was a better car...

The maurader was great... it just seemed something was missing to me.

Every Sunday at church, I see this 'little old lady' driving a green Impala SS to church the thing is immaculate. I want it.

The marauder engine is same as the Mach 1 right?

I never did like the looks the Caprice/Impala. It was the melted jellybean look to max and it just didn't look right to me. The SS engine however was very nice.

If Ford was smart they'd put the '03/'04 Cobra Motor and auto tranny from the soon to be SVT Sport Trac into a new Marauder. I would purchase one in a heart beat.

302HP wasn't bad but 390 would have made the Marauder a beast!

I like the Marauder, and I admit, I'm getting old(er), too.

You guys really need to drive one if you havent. They have a smooth ride like a CV, but slightly better handling. I'd say on par with a police interceptor CV. The 4v is very similar to a mach1, but i think it has the cam profiles from the lincoln aviator, to give it a bit more low end trq. it gets up to speed rather well and runs 90+ cruise speeds with ease.

I watched a maruader with a KB on it at the track run consistent low 12's on street tires, kicking sideways each run when it shifted into 2nd. The tranny is a 4r70w like in 99-04GT's, so it can be tuned to get alot more performance out of it.
