Aren't those badges on the car the wrong way?

[blackf0rk]

That's how I would've put them on.

[Mebot]

No thanks, that checkered flag throws it off for me. Looks a bit small too.

[superiorone]

i dont know my car and most that I see have the checkered flag going forward, but everyone likes there own thing

[quota]

:agree: I think that the checkered flag should be looking front.
Nice badge in any case. Got already a pair sticked to my MM.

When riding into battle, the standard bearers were always at the front, so, for lack of a better reason, the flags on the badges should also face front.

The more important question: Is the seller here? Who has a leased DTR that they're turning in? Fess up...

[KillJoy]

I am assuming these are Matt In Detroit's.

Matt is in Canton, MI...... the Seller is in Canton MI.

They are coming off of a DTR....... Matt has a DTR.

KillJoyYou are assuming correct sir.

[superiorone]

sorry to hear your Marauder is gone...............

[SergntMac]

No thanks, that checkered flag throws it off for me. Looks a bit small too.Hey...Let's have a little respect here, K? Those badges were creted by MartyO and myself back in 2003. They are rare and collectable.

Inspired by the 1963 Marauder fender badging, the flag was a separate fender badgeback then, and it pointed forward to to front of the car. Yes they are smaller than the original too, but fit well on the fender when installed correctly.

Snooze, you lose.

haha, woah there, I was just voicing my opinion. I respect that they were made by you and MartyO and that they're rare and collectable. That's pretty cool.

just ain't my cup of tea, is all.

[Matt In Detroit]

Yes they are the badges off my car. I didnt see any reason giving them to the dealer. I havent turned the car in yet, im still driving it, only for another couple weeks though. I will gladly purchase this car off lease to sell to someone if they are interested. I would have to get $22k though to cover the lease end value, taxes and all. I have seen them not as clean as mine on used lots for $25k+. Dont know if they are getting it though. If I dont get a taker, back to the dealer she goes.

Bumpity bump bump

[Matt In Detroit]

Thanks for the bump STLR, something cheesy about doing it yourself. Badges are at $61 already, 14 watchers...

[whoskal]

I've been trying to get my hands on a pair since I bought the car.

[Matt In Detroit]

Well youre staying on top Whoskal. I hope I get as lucky as Logan did..:)

Well I hope you don't;)From the looks of it you're well on your way to making Matt happy. :o

[martyo]

I need to dust off the dies for these badges and make some more of these puppies!

[merc6]

lol seeig there is a demand for them, i guess it would be a good business venture. Just out of curiosity w/o disclosing how much they cost to make, are these ebay ads breaking even or superseading supplies and labor costs? Since I got my car too late for the GB, I grew fond of my checkered flag 4.6 badges.

[whoskal]

I need to dust off the dies for these badges and make some more of these puppies!

yes you do!!!!

there is a big demand for these puppies, all of us that bought our MMs later than the first crowd have missed out on them!! maybe take a poll and see how many people want them ???:D :D :D :D :D :bows: :bows: :bows: :bows: :bows:

[martyo]

Somone set up a poll and we will see what public opinon has to say.

[Donny Carlson]

No thanks, that checkered flag throws it off for me. Looks a bit small too.

If I had a dollar for every time a woman said this to me, I could pay cash for a supercharger.

[blkwidowmerc]

You are assuming correct sir.i was wondering where you can get a set of them i would like to get a set for my father for his 67 th b-day

[SMOKE]

10-4! Time for another run!!!:banana:

I was considering jumping in on this tonite (PayPal enabled).....but one thing I can say is..........whoskal (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/member.php?u=3873) (as of just past 17:00 u r the top bidder)....what you are paying is a TON of money these bro...

At this hour (23:52) you are WAY pushing an online bid for these....

MARTYO (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/member.php?u=563) / SergntMac (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/member.php?u=392)....TIME TO BREAK OUT THE MOLD, 'CAUSE I'M IN....BUT NOT FOR $150.00++ with 4 days to go (on ebay)??!!:confused:

....been trying to drive the 2nd COP buy with FIT....looked hot in June but I'm left just short for the next buy...so I'll hang a shingle on this one!

Matt In Detroit (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/member.php?u=2574)...Nothing against free enterprise....but I hope you pull 'em off nice and straight for this price!!!!!!!!:D

[Leadfoot281]

Too rich for me! I was high bidder for a while though...

[HwyCruiser]

I'll trade a gently used set of fender badges for a CAR Motorsports front grill godshead emblem.

whoskal, got a red paperclip? Get to it!

[Matt In Detroit]

Yea they pulled off nice and straight, I sprayed a bit of wd-40 behind them to soften the glue up and they came off with little effort. I also polished and waxed them up (not like they needed it though). I doubt you could tell the difference from new ones. They held up well, they are a heavy quality badge.

Not sure what the red paperclip is all about, but i'm not giving up my emblems:cool: , even though that would be a fair trade.....I thought CARMOSPO still had some??

On a side note it looks like you have a badgeless grill?? Need a paperweight??:D

[whoskal]

Somone set up a poll and we will see what public opinon has to say.

I'm on it!!

[martyo]

I'm on it!!

Thanks.

Mary said she will take car of this as soon as I get some pricing information.

[whoskal]

MartyO can have this all to himself. With my luck, I'm sure someone went to a GM training school in 1991 and learned all about fender badges...

The red paperclip reference is to a guy that through a series of trades traded nothing for a house! Think big!

See http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ for the story.

Might as well just hand those badges over!!;)

[TWEGGS]

I'm in for a run on the badges!

[Glenn]

Hate to be a kill joy. But, who ever bought the MM flags got one right direction and one wrong direction. Posts were written when the badges were made that there was a specific left and right side with flags facing forward.

Glenn

[Matt In Detroit]

Jesus, guess I missed that post on how to install them. Hey, I installed them how I thought they looked good and thats that. I do have a correct LH and RH set so the new owner can install them how he/she likes, flags forward or backward. Thanks for the positive input Glenn :rolleyes:

[Joe Walsh]

I mounted my badges 'backwards' also...I think that they look better that way.
It's just a matter of personal preference.

I'll probably lose some points if I ever enter my Marauder in a concourse show.;)

[martyo]

I attribute the speed of my car to the direction that the badges were mounted! :D

That and $238,523.67 in mods!! :D

[Ron]

I never put them on my car.

I used (1) on a mirror in my garage & only exposed a portion of the tape to install.
The other thought about putting on the valve cover, then decided to place it in the center of the fan shroud.
It's still there, my car has about 5,700 miles on it & always garaged.

Badges are like new & I'll provide some 3m automotive tape to install.
