    http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum...postcount=4863


    Mileage: Approximately 58k.

    Over all Condition: Imaculate. This Marauder has never seen rain or snow, is cleaned thoroughly (front, wheels, fender wells, exhaust, interior) after every drive, then placed under the custom cover with a battery tender. Always garaged.

    No smoke, no food, no drink in the interior.

    MM.net members who have seen her will vouch for her condition.

    Never drag-raced, auto-crossed, or abused.

    She has won too many car shows to count inlcuding first place in her class at an ISCA-judged car show this February.

    Price: $18,000 or best offer.
    Clear title in hand.

    I believe this is fair considering the mods, the non-abused life, and pristine condition. You will not be disappointed.

    Cal Car Cover indoor car cover and framed original window sticker included.

    PM me with questions, interest, and offers.

    Thank you.

    I've driven that car when JD had it. He was 2 tenths away from running 11's in that car. He was meticulous in taking care of it though, and from the looks of the pics you have been too.

    Who ever gets this one is getting a nice car.

    (I still have the original air box JD made for it on mine.)

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for the kind words.

    JD was meticulous and I have strived to continue that tradition.

    This Marauder has been pampered and spoiled.

    Here's a few pics to try to demontrate the original paint and it's condition. I am asked as shows and cruises if it has been repainted. No one believes it is original.

    Yes, she is still available.

    Search YouTube for "ProCharged Marauder" and you will find some older track videos with the prior owner.

    Also, I can send you some sound clips of her running if you PM me your email address.
