:awe: ! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRGGGHH HH ! WHY THIS HAPPENNED TO ME.

[stryker]

:confused: Can you post some interiors pics to see the inside of the Panther ? :confused:

[Chayton]

why the cobra badges? ...

[SGT_MERC]

why the cobra badges? ...

Just to be different.

[SGT_MERC]

:confused: Can you post some interiors pics to see the inside of the Panther ? :confused:

They are coming soon. I've been having some health issues and it's hard to get outside.

[SGT_MERC]

:awe: ! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRGGGHH HH ! WHY THIS HAPPENNED TO ME.

Why? Does this mean I'm asking for to much money?

[a_d_a_m]

Good luck with the sale. I'm not a fan of some of the exterior mods, but they can easily be removed and it looks like a clean ride otherwise!

[SGT_MERC]

Does anyone think this is priced too high? Opinions pls. I won' t be offended.

[OneBADLsE]

Does anyone think this is priced too high? Opinions pls. I won' t be offended.

An asking price is just what it is; an asking price. Take any offers into consideration. I know you put a lot of $ and effort into the car, but it's going to target a VERY, VERRRY niche market. You may wanna pull the nitrous out of the car and sell it separately. I believe you'll make a few bucks extra for it.

If the car is a primo example, I would expect to see in the range of 7-7500...But to me, It would have to be EXCEPTIONAL. It certainly looks like a cool car for the price! If I bought it, I'd probably white everything out, do a marauder style grille, MM wheels, and call it a day =)

Thank You for the advice, I greatly appreciate anyone honesty.

I'll take the nitrous out, put the stock hood back on, put the stock water (http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2448615#) pump back in and sell the car without the patriot heads for $7500 or leave the fiberglass hood on and give the stock hood to the new owner. I'm flexible. I'll even keep the after market wheels and tires and sell it for $7000. Numbers can always be worked. This car has never been abused or taken to the track. The hardest it has been run was four runs on the dyno.

Did you have this at Marauderville in Hershey?

[Haggis]

Did you have this at Marauderville in Hershey?

Yes it was.

[CBT]

Yes it was.

I thought so, very very sharp car, sounded awesome! :beer:

[Papillon]

Did you have this at Marauderville in Hershey?

It was parked in the back with the other "Non-Marauders" next to Paul Miller's/05CrownSport's car.

[bugsyc]

Really good looking car.Quite different than a Marauder..From picture,car looks pristine.I wouldn't change a thing.The car is not for everyone but,for those who appreciate the look,will want it the way it is...Prices???It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay...Start high you can always come down....Good luck with the sale

Yes, but I got there late for the car show.

Thank You for your input and kind comments. This GM is my baby, but I have my heart set on a certain Marauder. There is a member on this forum holding his Marauder for 2 weeks, for me to see if I can come up with the money plus a loan to buy his. His car is exactly what I want, but I only have 2 weeks. If I was going to get a Marauder just any time soon I could let my GM sit for a while till the right person takes notice, then start looking. If I lose that Marauder, because I can't sell mine, I will be heart broken. Not trying to be sappy, but just stating the truth.

[ShadyLurker]

You'd probably be better stripping off all the go fast & cosmetic parts and just selling it as the Grand Marquis that it is. With 73k on it someone would probably shell out 6500 bucks for it. Good luck with your Marauder purchase. I was gonna get one but bought a go fast boat :D instead. I realised i would never get close to what i wanted for my Grand Marquis. I'm using my left over money to S/C my clone.

[tbone]

Did you put the car on CrownVic.net? May be a dumb question, but......;)

[Comin' in Hot]

I gotta say that one bad merc you have, it sounded awesome at MV9. Hopefully someone will buy it quick, if I were you, I'd have it on craigslist and eBay to try to unload it.

[SGT_MERC]

It's on crownvic.net, craigs list and the corral.net forums. I'm trying.

Good luck, I would like to see it when it's done.

[DOOM]

That is one BADASS MERC!!! :rock:

Sounds awesome!!!!!!

It's a nice looking car. If it comes down to you stripping it before you sell it keep me in mind for the hood please.

[LOWBUCKMM]

It's a nice looking car. If it comes down to you stripping it before you sell it keep me in mind for the hood please.

If he is trying to get a marauder I'm sure he would want to keep the hood for it. Oh and the electric water pump and nitrous would work on the marauder to.

Nice GM you have I'm sure it goes like hell with the mods you have done to it.

[SGT_MERC]

It's a nice looking car. If it comes down to you stripping it before you sell it keep me in mind for the hood please.

The marauder I am trying to beat the deadline on already has a CGP hood. If I do remove it, I will let you know. I don't want nitrous on my Marauder. After having it, I would rather save the extra coin and wait to go S/C. Nothing against nitrous, I just hate not having that instant gratification. Waiting on the pressure to build can be a bit annoying. Thank You for the compliments LOWBUCKMM.

[justbob]

Seen/heard this car at MV9. VERY nice car and owner loved. The owner however, complete hoodlum. :p
