Living in my neck of the wood is very hard for a Marauder fan. The number of vehicles here are so low no one even knows what they are unless they are a very classy sort of person. Last year I had my dream almost come true. A lowish mile(120k) Silver MM showed up in my local classifieds. I mean the full dream. It was owned by the gentleman's grandfather and cuddled and protected its whole life. Now for the sad part I had just bought a home a few months prior and it couldn't be a worse time to buy anything. Fast forward one year of regret and complaints that I missed my opportunity. My wife was very patient to endure that.
I just happened to get a small raise at my job and I happen to look again. I find again a Silver MM I contacted him and ask how long hes had it. Says a year and bought it after the mans grandad passed away. BOOM same one! Well coming this Tuesday I will be finally be a member. :beer:

Funny story. Welcome

[Turbov6Bryan]

Good to hear! Those silver birches are nice! Ask me how I know 😂

Change all the fluids, fuel filter and don't forget the brake fluid too!!!

Motorcraft oil filter, synthetic 5w20 oil
Trans is atf with mercon 5 , power steering takes the same fluid as the transmission. Reuse the oem trans gasket. Not kidding

Rear diff, 2 - 2 1/2 quarts of synthetic 75w /140 fluid with posi additive.

If the brakes feel crappy, just go with the big brake kit located thru here, world of a difference.

Now that the fluids are done, clay bar the entire car including the trim last, and seal it with ceramic

Now you will be forever in love with it 😍

All above... And If you can't swing the cost of the big brake kit now, at minimum buy the custome fitted stainless steel brake hoses and exchange-replace brake fluid and bleed bleed bleed the brakes. Amazing difference for minimal cost.

Beautiful car!

.... And JPB = Just Plain Black !!For the life of me I couldn't remember the acronym for black...thanks, Charlie!

Thanks so much! This will be the first things I do.

then check the inside of the front tires to see if it is wearing the tires incorrectly, there is a spec listed here called car fixers specs. It will keep the car from eating tires.
