Hey folks

Ran across this in my local craigslist. If I needed parts, or had space to store ... 2003 Black Marauder, front end damage, $3500 with under 80K miles. I thought some of you part hoarders would be interested.

I have some pictures in an email, it really does not look too bad. Not sure why it was totaled. Here is his response to my questions:

Damage questions
1) steering wheel air bag deployed and air bag sensor on radiator
support crushed. Passenger dash and side impact air bags still good.
2) drivers fender is probably fine.
3) Small SUV contacted bumper and popped up into hood/grille.
driving/fog lights were not hit.
4) I believe the frame is not bent as the body popped off the the
front passenger side support with the frame. the bumper absorber is
bent.
5) The insurance gave me an additional payment on the interior
condition. I have kept the Marauder covered at work to keep the sun
off of the paint and interior. No one eats in the Marauder and even
water is not allowed. We stop at rest areas or gas stations.
6) The Marauder in a fully contented version with 6-CD changer in
trunk and no performance modifications.
7) Besides the accident damage, there is a couple of door dings on the
passenger rear wheel opening where the door strips do not protect. The
bumper cover has an clearcoat abrasion from the bag a pick-up person
was loading in.
8) The radiator is bent and needs replacement. It is currently holding
coolant. And the Air conditioner condensor is bent up. The fan shroud
is broken. Engine runs and I turned the car around in the driveway
after home delievery.
9) Compatable donor cars are 2003 and newer Crown Vics, Grand Marquis,
Police Interceptors, and Marauders. In 2003 some body stiffeners were
added and I do not know what parts are different from the 2002s.
- I can send more photos or you can come see it. Jim
