Questions

[fast dtr]

I purchased another Marauder and need a few things.

Can anyone help me locate original lug nuts for my Marauder? The ones at the dealerships are POS (chrome caps).

Also, can anyone send me info on the VIN indicating options? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

original lug nuts were all caps over a lug nut..buy a set of gorilla or mcgard lug nuts. and the vin does not specify options other than really if it has dohc v8..there werenot really many options for the car other than, heated seats, trunk mount cd player, moonroof, dealer installed rear spoiler

2ME = Ford Motor Company of Canada (i.e. 2=Canada, M= Mercury). If the 3rd digit is "H" it was an incomplete vehicle from the factory (i.e. it was shipped out for the moonroof install [2004's only])

H= Active Safety belts (all positions), Driver and Passenger air bags plus passenger side air bags, curtains, or canopies.

M75 = Grand Marquis (MM shared this designation in 2003), M79 = Mercury Marauder (separate MM designation added in 2004)

V= 4.6L 302 HP DOHC V-8 Mercury Marauder only

0 (i.e. 9th digit is a check digit 0-9)

3 = Model Year (3 is 2003, 4 is 2004)

X = St. Thomas Assembly Plant

000000 = Sequence Code

The sequence ending tells you nothing about the Production number since Grand Marquis were mixed into the line with Marauders at the rate of about 1 MM for every 25 Grand Marquis. In addition, we have found that the cars didn't necessarily come off the line in numerical VIN order.

03’s have red rear defrost lines, 04’s are orange. [emoji6]

Just something else we noticed at a local meet that I️ thought was odd.

Trunk organizer was also an option.
