My lady and I were driving around town in my Black 03 a few weeks ago and spotted what we thought was a 64 Marauder but it looked a bit different. Turns out it's the luxury version called a Park Lane. Knocked on the door and introduced myself and hoped it might be for sale. Turns out its a musician that picked it up at an auction in Park City ND. It was owned by a woman whose husband was a USAF General and this was his personal ride. Matt is the second owner. Long story short- He was open to selling it a few weeks back for around $5K and his band just got offered a sweet deal on Custom guitars so it is now really for sale...He's looking for $4K or best offer...I just moved up north and am unemployed for the moment so grrrrrrrrrrr...
The 390 started easily and there was no smoke at all..Idled smooth and really sounded sweet when it was revved a bit. Under the hood the engine looks damn near original and clean but the firewall and fenders need a real thorough cleaning and paint. He has 5 spoke American racing mags on it and I think the tires looked like 235/40's or something close to that- It sits level and a bit low all the way around (it looks mean)
The body is straight with faded black paint and the chrome is awesome- small ding on the front grille but he has a perfect new shiny grille he got on Ebay awhile back... The electric rear window works perfectly as does everything else on it...except the brake booster that went out on it. Matt tells me its a $400 part available from O'Reillys.
White leather interior is clean and the only flaw is the seam on the drivers side of the front seat needs to be resown (sp?)
Its really straight with no parking lot dings that I could see...There is rust on the rear quarters under the chrome rail that needs to be worked. Matt will send me some digital pictures tonite and I will post them. He is a real straight shooter and will tell you anything you want to know about the car and will take detailed pictures for anyone that is interested.
He just shot me this on email from work

I know Fargo is in BFE for most of you but if any of you folks want to come up and check it out, lunch or dinner or beer or whatever is on me...
I'm not like best friends with this guy but like I said, he seems like a pretty straight up guy and didn't try to BS me about the car...
Oh yeah....what really caught my eye about this car is that it looks exactly like the 64 MM on the 2003 Marauder poster. (I just got one from a member here)
