    Comes with a nifty car cover. Looks so good

    Thanks Barry.

    Seems we aren't going to be coming to a deal.

    I've decided to move on.

They easily fit in our cars, are cheap, can be found anywhere, easy to mod and can handle a ton of hp in stock form both engine and trans. Those engines with smaller pulley, cams normally make high 500 to low to mid 600 hp @ the wheels

    The parts already exist to get it done, it's been done before so it's nothing new, and you get to still enjoy driving a Marauder everyday just with more power and money in your pocket. Matter of fact I'm most likely going to buy some Mustang to LS brackets tomorrow, throw them in a corner and continue to do research.

    Buy an Appradio 4 head unit and enjoy bunch of new stuff in a old car with new found power.
    LS swaps are intriguing. I love what Cameronvic did with his CV.

    Not for me though.

    A day will come where I need a new daily driver, but right now, even given better finances, I wouldn't want another car. Not even another Marauder with 100,000 less miles. My car is my car.

    You can keep your CTS's and CTS-Vs. While they are better for performance they are ugly to me and not as impressive when they are modified, because we all know from the start they are more capable and in my eyes, it's as impressive.

    I hope you find a Marauder number 4. It seems like as the line of ownerships of these machines goes up, lack of care increases, in most cases.

    Mine is one owner and it will remain that way until my death.

    Happy Maraudering to all.

    Same. No matter how much of a PITA some things seem to be, I never plan to part with it.

    Used to be a Buick guy too, had a 70 Wildcat - talk about a sleeper, that's what my Marauder reminds me of except my Wildcat was a two door, a cool car you hardly ever saw - just like the MM now-a-days. Was looking for a GS stage 1, stage 2, GSX, or W30, found the W30. One day I hope to have a GS or a 70 Wildcat convertible.

    Wow, and just noticed you won best in class this year - congrats!! I'm no q-tip guy but certainly appreciate it - takes a lot of work and dedication!

    my Hurst has 80K on it and i drive it to every event. I usually lose points on the cleanliness because i'm not that kinda guy either lol. I usually make it up on originality. I spent a lot of money on NOS parts when i restored it. the thing thats nice about the OCA is once you win BOC in Jr, you move up to senior. when you win BOC in Sr you move up to senior preservation. I won BOC in junior because i wasnt up against trailer queen cars with 3k miles. I know my car has peaked winning BOC in Jr. It will probably never win in Sr but my goal is to still score in the first place range. Theoretically thou i could luck up at Nationals and have a year in SR class where no one else shows. lol, the 12C (83/84 Hurst) class is relatively small. the class your car would be in is by far and away the largest and most competitive.

    Yes the tube going in my butt was uncomfortable at first but you get used to it. Joe showed me how to install it.
