[Mr. Man]

Anything Marauder specific is considered a holy grail part if it's OEM.

[MyBlackBeasts]

Bumper skins!

Tail lights are becoming hard to locate too. You can get aftermarket headlights and front turns but no-one makes rear tail lights.

Holy grail and rarest part are two different issues. I'll bet the hardest OEM part to find for a 2003-4 Marauder are the wiper blades. On the other hand, I doubt anyone is looking for them or would think of them as the holy grail. Supply and DEMAND

EL OH EL...from your thread the other week...well done Kirk!

[Joe Walsh]

My Marauder still had the OEM wiper blades on it when I sold it...didn't know they'd be so valuable.....lol.

Since when? I had aftermarket Marauder spec TYC tail lights on my 03 Marauder. Did they recently stop?

[Peace2Peep]

1. An original unused front grill

2. Original unused tailpipes.

3. factory new headlamps

4. factory new floormats

5. mercury marauder zippo (still looking for one after mine got nicked...)

[BackNBlack]

1. An original unused front grill

2. Original unused tailpipes. Yep

3. factory new headlamps Yep (OEM CIBIE Fogs, too)

4. factory new floormats Yep

5. mercury marauder zippo (still looking for one after mine got nicked...) Yep

Well...4 out of 5 ain't bad...maybe "Bonus Points" for the CIBIES?

Couldn't locate any on Amazon, eBay or google shopping, Those sites usually drum up anything available. Maybe there's something out there I missed...

TYC online catalogue for any Marauder light = 0 of 0 results for "Mercury、Marauder、2003、2004"

The rarest is OEM Tire Air.

[03Merc]

The rarest is OEM Tire Air.

There's plenty of that around in the 300A full sized spares!

They appear to be out of stock now, I bought my set like 6 years ago or so. A black 03 that I parted out also had 1 aftermarket marauder tail light, so they did exist.

[88LTDCV351]

Seeing Marauder Unobtainium is like Marauder Pron. lol. I remember a post I started many years ago asking to see everyone's stash from the parts horders. I have quite a few myself. Missed a lot of good ones though. Like I remember when Green Sales or Parts Voice still had a few Marauder NOS front bumper covers. Wish I had got one before they were gone.

Yep, I know they did exist. Went looking for a pair for a project I'm doing and could not find any so got a really nice pair of used from bigcowl-imp

[Mebot]

Whoever has the non audiophile head unit and trying to find one might be in the rarest company. Only came in a DBP

The OEM car cover...even though mine was terribly faded - I regret letting it go years ago; back when I thought I'd never own a Marauder again.

Fit perfectly, had the Marauder lettering at the front, and window for license plate in the back.

Can't say how badly I wish I had it now.

[sparker_1982]

I know that feeling.I needed some cash and ended up selling brand new floormats and a license plate holder.I regret it everyday when I look through my steadily growing stash

I have several sets of NIB headlights/marker lights/ wiring harnesses for marker lights, have the last NIB carpet, last but not least a NIB front bumper!

Aren't those literally 2-bulb Crown Victoria tail lights (paint trim to match)?

Those are the ones for the P71s, HOWVER, the Marauders' are, albeit slight, tinted.

And... No need to PTM -IF- the EXTerior code is UA. :D

Are they slightly tinted????

I don't have a hard and fast rule for 2-bulb vs. 4-bulb usage. My 2004 LXS has the 2-bulb. I've seen other 2004 models with the 4-bulb. At some point they went 2-bulb exclusively.

No, they are different. The MM tail lights are tinted darker just like the headlights are.

Well, the headlights lenses are clear, it's just the non-reflective surfaces are painted black.

[blazen71]

I just had a set of headlights made. 2003-2004 OEM Grand Marquis headlamps (which you can still get from Ford) and swapped in the black shrouds from aftermarket Marauder headlights.

Tomato Tomoto, they're different - correct?

[vonirkinshtine]

Different for sure! But not impossible to replicate from other OEM parts (turn GMQ lights into Marauder lights). But yes, the factory part number is very rare.
