That sure would look good with tire shread, all down the back quarters! :D
Nice pic
I like white Marauder :coolman:
Is that a repaint?
Where do you see Starion?

That would be a great car for a television series about a maverick rogue cop who "bends the rules". It looks great.

Actually, since every TV cop bends the rules, one who followed them all the time would be refreshing. :)

Perhaps a black Landau top would set this car off nicely, we could call it the Palm Beach Edition.

I'm calling photochop. The rear well by the passenger door at the bottom does not flow. Also it just looks too shiney to be real. Either way I really would like to see a white Marauder and in different angles. Not like the white one that was on the cadillac lot and turned out to be more of a pearl.

A quick google has a Witt LM in San Diego. Kinda looks like San Diego in the picture.....

They have a DTR also.

If it is, they did a hell of a job with the reflection in the door/fender . . .

I vote real.

You're exactly right-the theme wouldn't be different, only the car. But honestly, who would you want driving it, Dirty Harry or Ghandi?

Black or Red bumper inserts would give it a nice balance.

There is no reflection of white on the tail pipes.since the cars white wouldn't it be on the pipes edge?:D

OK, Starion. How about sharing info about your ride with us? And if it's not your ride, where did you take or got the picture. You've piqued our interest. :D

Somethings telling me this is a very good photoshop. One thing that looks odd is the dealer plate, the lettering seems to be the wrong angle. Regardless, it sure looks nice and think a bright pearl white paintjob would have been a nice option.

SergntMac
04-09-2006, 07:24 AM
Yeah...I've been pouring over it too, and on different monitors at the office. What I've picked up as looking odd, is the licesne plate, trunk lock, and lower door sill. The sill is black on all Marauders of color.

When I bought my DTR a week ago, I was considering that one at Witt/LM. I wanted something with less miles, so I went to Colorado.

White is my favorite color....After having my DTR for 1 week and 3 car washes, how the hell do you guys keep your cars looking clean (other than not driving them)?

DTR isn't bad.... try black - the way all MM's should be :D - especailly with the pollen this time of year. Mine's a sickly shade of cat-puke green......

You were considering the white one? How did you find it was it on the dealer website, or did you just see a that pic with the dealer license plate?

Yep. If I have any or all of my MM painted, those sills are going body color.

Looks gorgeous in white. Obviously an '04 right? (fuel filler). I wonder if it was a production fluke (or a special order) and not a repaint.

Definitely downtown San Diego, same dealer I bought my Silver Birch 04.
Their web site is down so I can't verify the car is still for sale.
I can check it out for someone if need be.

If it's a repaint, they were careful enought to remove the door handles and not paint the rubber gasket, but not careful enough to cover the trunk lock? that would be a detail missed by photochop. I can also barely see the white onthe edge of the mirror. The background reflections are corrent.

The rocker panel piece looks reflective.

The white is correctly reflected on the tailpipes.

I call it a repaint and not a photochop.

Curious behavior...Joins us 6 April, adds what is no less than a controversial pic to our gallery, and visits the thread about his pic, but shares nothing more with us...Very curious.

Hmmm...

All my cars are white except my Marauder, I really like white.
A long time ago there was a Q&A with (I think Babcock) and I asked about having a white one done...but it was immediatly poo pooed.

Just trying to build up hype for my first post. Its a photochop. It is actually silver birch. When I get to my home computer ill upload a couple other color chops I did on my 04. Until then...

I don't think I like the gold wheels but the grey looks awsome. One of the members here, I think from the virginia area has his Marauder painted a similar color. Again though, nice work.

I would love to see what a Torch Red (like the Ford GT) MM with black wheels would look like.:help: cough cough hint hint :D :bows: If I ever had to get a repaint I think I would go that route just because its so off the wall and screams LOOK AT ME!!!! :lol:

What interior colors did the stang torch red come in?the color on that one is almost looks like a burnt redish cooper. the ones i sold came with the tan leather inside. i did sell one torch red v6 that had the flint cloth inside. now to me the gloss red with the black rims looks very simple clean and its hell of an eye catcher. here are the 2 red colors for the mustang

this is Torch Red, gloss paint no metallic to it

Crimson Red Metallic which is basically DTR but a shade or 2 off and if you have a good eye you can see the gold flake they did in the paint (not in this pic) but in person because of them being 40th anniversary mustang and 100th anniversary of ford

Crimson red was 40th only, the 100th anniversarys were only available in Black, going back to the whole you can have it in any color you want as long as its black thing. I love crimson red, it's a beautiful deep color but there are so few out there with it. :(
