[OneBADLsE]

Black with a tan interior....Had a wing on it, not the conventional lip that were all used to seeing

It also didnt have the conventional interior that we are all used to seeing either.

TAN???

Are you sure that it was a Marauder?

That guy showed up at MV2.
Awesome Grand Marquis conversion.

No no, impossible. it was a MM. I have never seen a tan interior on the car before, and it wasnt light parchment either. More like a camel. Weird. And yes, they were MM seats...My eyes do not decieve me. The whole interior matched the seats.

Who the hell knows? Maybe its one of ford's misfits? I bet i will see it there again. It wasnt parked with the show cars.


I cant even qualify that as a GM conversion. I cant sit here and believe someone would have a MM dash, seats, console, carpets, floor mats, etc just to make a duplicate.

Take a real close look

[Blackened300a]

Those exhaust tips are sitting below the rear bumper, not in it like a Marauder. Thats a clone

He spent insane money to do so. It fooled me. Same dot matrix style dash and all....wtf??? Who the hell would do that?

Bumper was OEM Marauder bumper...ill look around to see if i personally spot a different..


Edit: I believe it to be the angle of the pic. Looks the same on others...Maybe its me?

Another give away is how bright the reverse lenses are. The Marauder has slightly tinted lenses.

Wow. When you're right, you're right. Huge difference in the reverse lens.

I still stand by my comment that you are retarded to spend all that money just to have a look-a-like. Sorry to the owner if he's reading this.

To top it all off, it wasnt even clean.

If he started with a CV sport with floor shifter, it would not be that hard to change over to MM look alike. Who knows, he might work for a dealer and gets parts cheap.

where did you see this car ??

[finster101]

Why does the deck lid look so short? Could this be a Ford 500 ?

Sounds like a good deal if the miles are actual.

What i was trying to point out is that the one i saw in bellmore, which is felt to be a clone, has clear reverse lights, why are these clear too? The radio is even odd...

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Na, the one on ebay must have had some rear end damage. Why else replace the tail lamps and reverse lamps with crown vic non tinted ones. Also look at the gap on the right side, between the trunk lid and the right tail lamp. Then look at the top left of the lid where it meets the rear windshield, looks weird...

[OneBADLsE]

Youre right. You can see the paint on the rear fascia is WAYY OFF

yep, your right about the lights. Do all Marauders have dual media radios I haven't noticed, but it does look strange in the pics

[Blackened300a]

Few things I noticed, The drivers seat has quite a bit of wrinkles for a car with only 12K miles, My Marauder with 55K has a better looking drivers seat. That radio has been swapped out, My friend rented a plain jane Ford expedition and it had the same exact radio in it.
Not only is the tail panel changed out but also both tail lights so its pretty clear that the rearend took a wack. I also noticed that the coolant reservoir is over-filled and besides that, its filled with Green coolant, 04's used yellow coolant from the factory.

And that rear bumper cover looks like he took a Kryton spray can to it. Talk about flat black.
