I had a guy find a post of mine somewhere (not here) who called me today saying he was interested in selling his SB/light interior. 51K miles, 1 owner (70+ year old guy), appears to be a mint vehicle with dealer installed Trilogy! Has sunroof and all options. I'd be all over it if I wanted a silver MM. I spoke to the dealership where he purchased it originally and they confirmed there was something added to the vehicle prior to the sale but they will only provide the exact info to the owner... OASIS showed NO warranty work.

Location is near Waco, TX. He's asking $23k but will take slightly less.

Let me know if you're interested and I will PM you his info and the pics he sent; only after I speak with the owner.

He seems like a very nice older gentleman who took great care of the car. I have no skin in this game I just really liked talking to the guy and am waiting for a blue rauder.

"Blue Blood"!

Seriously though, 1 owner...obvious enthusiast based on my conversations, dealer installed Trilogy and damn near flawless.

Check this out, I asked for some pics and he said "let me get her out of the garage" and hour later he sent these:

The owner literally took the car out, hosed it off in his driveway, took some pics and emailed me in a little over an hour so no, it was not detailed and yes, based on my conversations he keeps all of his cars very clean. He lives out in the country and when he said almost all of the miles are "highway" I would bet that's accurate.

This vehicle was originally purchased in 12/04 but I don't know the production date. What in the VIN would indicate the sunroof option?

Thanks,

A marauder with a factory sunroof will have a vin # starting with 2MH. Without the sunroof the vin # starts with 2ME.

Oh man, this car is beautiful! This is EXACTLY what I've always wanted!! I didn't realize sunroofs were the rare part of the SBs. I've always been saying I've got "1 of the 304" SBs with light flint int/heated seats, but now I've got to change my sig to "1 of 170" with sunroof....yup, MHHM in my VIN.

Seriously, if I hadn't bought mine, I woulda JUMPED all over this one. I'm only $700 away from my Trilogy purchase>:D

Please thank the owner for taking such damn good care of this beautiful car!

He obviously has a K&N panel filter. Are you referring to the one that has STOP written on it? If so, it has a small description stating it's an oil based filter, and don't discard it, but to clean and re-oil it.

Funny seeing a trilogized car with a stock air box.

Update, owner has the Marauder Jacket, Trilogy shirt (I think he said it shows #38), a brand new set of MM floor mats that he bought as extras and never used all included in the sale.

Of note, this SB has the black inserts between the tail lights. I've got a few more pics but need to blur the plate before posting. Said he's been using Mobil 1 since about 6k miles.

Let me know if anyone is looking.

Thanks,
