I actually just ordered one the other day, waiting for it to come in soon.

Only ordered the digital version and going to print it out myself as overseas shipping was too expensive.

When you get it can you post some info of what you got ?

I definitely will, they asked me to sent a picture of my door tag and they are doing their research based on that. Can take a week or two, I'm excited to see what info they found out.

I`ve never hear of a MARTI report. Is this where you take your car to MO`s Speed Shop, and Marty tells you what you need to have done to it?

MARTI Auto Works is licenced by Ford and has Fords production data base for a cars history for vintage and special cars.

They have all the special paper works for collectible cars :beer:

Out of curiosity why would you do a Marti report on our vehicles when you can call Ford directly can get all the info form them. Even more telling is the VIN gives a ton of information anyway. Just wondering?

FYI, there can be discrepancies in the Marti reports. They are only as good as the data that was entered twelve years ago. For example, if a dealership changed location or name before the data was obtained my Marti, then your data will list the dealership current info. I've also seen where options are missed, etc. However, it is one of the best tools around and will break down your car's "uniqueness" by giving data on how many had that color/interior/option list, etc.

Marti reports were originally used by sellers showing the authenticity of their car. There are un-scrupulous people selling clones/tributes as the real deal. Now they are used as more of a restoration aid to classic/muscle car restorers and a must-have for authenticity.

[stevengerard]

that's what I mean, not much to authenticate on a 2004 The VIN says it all. Though I guess documentation is nice. I used to have all my documentation including my initial purchase order and of course the window sticker. I think my wife tossed it all :mad:

I can help you with that window sticker... :-)

NO it does not! LOL:bandit:

[WPG_Merc]

MARTI report says "There is nothing available for your application" :eek:

MartyO report says "It's an awesome car" :bows:

[Shornaday]

The Marti report also lets you know when the car was scheduled to be built, when it was bucked, when it was built, if it was late being built, Region it shipped to and more.

Got a MartiAutoWorks report on my 2003 Crown Victoria LX Sport a couple of years ago. Unlike the Marauders, the production breakdown for the Crown Victoria LX Sports (http://www.gdmjoe.com/gothvic/documents/lxsport/lxsport.html) wasn't available thru normal means since the P74 designation was used for -all- LX models (including the Sport).

I was surprised to see your report that they built that many CV Sports .in 2003:beer:

My Marti Report came in today. It's nice to have but not really worth the $46 that I spent on it. All I got is a PDF file via email, you can also order a printed version but being overseas postage was expensive so I'll just get it printed myself locally.

Keep in mind that the 2003 Marauder goes as a Grand Marquis LS with Marauder model because of its shared M75 VIN designation so the numbers they give you include the Grand Marquis and are not really a representation for the Marauder. It might be more interesting for a 2004 Marauder since they got their own M79 VIN but you can get all of that info from Ford directly.

The only really interesting info for me are the dates and the original dealer. If you already have those there isn't much point in ordering a report.

What does "Bucked" mean as in "scheduled to be bucked on such and such date?

[Shornaday]

Attached is a document showing explanation of terms on the Marti report.

Also attached a copy of my Marti Report for 2004 Silver Birch.

I pulled any and all reports that I could find on my MM, Just to make sure I didn't miss any data for a history of the car.

Bucked (Buck Date) This is the date the first piece of sheet metal was welded to another piece of sheet metal to begin forming the buck (if you imagine unbolting everything possible from your vehicle, that which remains is the buck. Generally, on this date, the entire body is produced, appropriate holes are punched, and the body is primed and painted. See http://www.martiauto.com/faqfocus.cfm?qid=56 for more info.

I've ordered the Marti reports for other Fords. They are a great resource. Not so much for the Marauder. If you ordered the upgraded $100 is my car "one of X many" it might be more valuable. Since 99% of MM were made the same the totals coincide with the already known production totals. The discrepancies can be that the Marti Report relies on the factory records reported to Ford corporate. I've seen a difference on the actual production date which is printed on the bottom of the door tag "XYYYYMMDDXXXX" format. If the factory had a breakdown and the cars were made the following day, this is on the door tag, but Ford had it actually produced on a different day.

They are great for the Mercury LSE and CV Sport because there were very few of those made and Marti gives a color breakdown. My friend's LSE is one of 549 in Arizona Beige (Gold)

Thanks for posting, I find it interesting that they just gave you the dealer code on yours, not the actual name and address.

I was thinking about doing my LSE also .
For 2003 LSE the paint was supposed to be silver frost metallic and my paint code is Silver birch metallic same as the Marauder
