Went to the Beloit , Wisconsin autorama car show yesterday, walked it for about 4 to 5 hours-never saw another marauder until, right before I was leaving an elderly gentleman pulls up in a 2003 300a, could not find a speck on the car. When he got out I asked him how many miles, he said 1370. He actually thought he had a 2002 because he bought it in July of that year. When I told him the rarity of the vehicle he was impressed, had no idea. He said in 1966 he bought a brand new 66 mercury cyclone that he still has in his garage -he wanted to stick with the mercury name. He is from Rockford, IL and I gave him the web info-not for sure if he was interested or not, either way, he had a spectacular marauder.

Good story.
I met a fellow last year who bought his MM used, the first owner would not give up the Marauder leather jacket.
He wrote to a big shot at Ford and they sent him one free of charge.

Now that's a better story... jeeez, give the jacket away, he doesn't even have the car to go with it, but at the end it all worked out!

Bad thing is that car must be a real dog. I'll help him clear it out!
