You could have your choice of some pretty nice Marauders for that price...

Nice car, but I'm biased, as it looks just like mine! I understand that Ford went to drive-by-wire (throttle) for 2005---don't believe that's a problem, per se, but the feel is a little different. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, my Sport's been the best car I've ever owned....

i think they also had lower rear end ratio, and posi/locked rear end ?? i liked the interior and the woodgrain, never seen one like that..

Ozark Marauder ... LX Sports what's the low down on these?
First appeared in 2001 as a SAP ( Sport Appearance Package ) - order code 60R

http://www.gdmjoe.com/2001sap.jpg

The LX Sport package was available 2002-2007 - option 41K, order code 230B

In 2008 the package was designated as the LX Premium Sport Handling and Performance - option 41K.

2008 was the last year for the LX Sport.

LX Sport components ..... revised springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars.
17" alloy 5-spoke wheels.
rear air suspension.
leather seating - front bucket seats
monochromatic exterior paint.
center console with floor shift.
3.27 RAR - open differential.
dual exhaust.While the production #s for the LX Sport can't be accurately determined, the FoMoCo target was ~ 15% of the civilian Crown Victoria production ( accounted for 25% of the total production. 75% was comprised of fleet and police ). As an example ... for 2003 that number would be 2,945.

In (or before) 2004, the suspension in a Sport became same as standard CV LX, which I have never understood.
