I am the proud owner of a 65 Marauder unrestored with 72k.
My dad bought it new. He died in 2000. At that time the Marauder
4dr ht 390 had but 49k. I changed the wheels and installed flames.
(don't worry there are just vinyl stick ons.) When i say unrestored
i mean it. The paint, chrome, interior, drivetrain, are 1965. It is a wonderfull
cruiser, gets 16 mpg. Now that the prices of the new Marauders are in my
price range i'm going to find one that has no paint issues, with the mods done.
Maybe even one with a supercharger. I plan on going racing. I ran my Marauder
in the 1/4 one time in 2001 and broke the left motor mount on the launch.
I'm glad i found this site you guys know and love your Marauders like i do.

Welcome! There's a beautiful blue '63 marauder with white wall tires just south of where I live. They are beautiful cars for sure! I'll say this though, yours is in a lot better shape than this guy's :beer:

That lift bridge is the only one in the world like it, and Crossman Arms was there still producing BB guns when I lived there.
