I will get a proper post out here with all the details but here are the top line items. I am one of the most uptight persons I know when it comes to cars. this car has been my baby for almost 10 years. it has been very well cared for but it also has been driven. you'll see more about the driving part in the condition section.

I purchased this 2003 300A in Sept 2004 new in Orange, TX at Orange Ford. I went this far east so I would not have a front plate holder (it still does not have a plate holder - no holes drilled). At the time I lived in Houston. the Car was my daily driver for nearly two years in and around Houston. At that point it became my weekend car and had about 35k miles on it. The car had the Trilogy added in January 2009 (Wes Chain and a few other Houston area guys did the work in his garage) when the car had 44k miles on it. At this time it has 57,8xx miles. it is black on black.

it has spent its entire life in TX and now in Arizona for the past five years Never seen snow, just some rain early in it's life.

The interior is like new. even smells new.

The exterior has 57,800 miles of life on it. The front bumper has a couple spots where paint has been compromised. I hit the corner of the garage backing in...twice. very small and not noticiable until you get right up on it. The hood has a couple milky spots where the clear is cloudy. same on roof and trunk lid. It has some road rash but it is minor. that is to be expected with these cars. there are two door dings. one on drivers rear door. one on passengers front door. The rear valance has a crack in the plastic under the license plate (plastic is very thin there - i have the part to replace it but it needs paint). Every marauder/vic guy that sees this car marvels at how clean it is and it's condition. they all want it.....now is your chance.

Other mods - new front upper control arms (bushings were bad on stockers). Command rotors on all four corners (love them!). The transmission has a bunch of performance stuff in it. It is supposed to be built to handle 650HP. The work was done by Circle D Transmission in Houston I have the receipts and will get details posted up. The rear end was rebuilt a year ago when I broke it in California on Car Craft's Anti Tour. it was rebuilt at a Ford Dealer. Again, I have the receipts for all this. it has a hard wired sirius tuner that is stealth. no holes drilled anywhere for it.

Maintenance - car has had nothing but Mobile 1 since about 10k miles. changed every 5k miles. Transmission is serviced every 15k-20k miles and alternates from a flush to a pan drop/filter change each time. Rear end is new. Brakes have less than 5K miles on them. Aligned to Carfixer specs after the upper control arms were replaced about 15 months ago. new tires with 1200 miles on them. vredestein ultrac sessanta tires. I love them and I think you will too. They are super sticky and the car handles great with them.

I have lots of extras that can go with the car - NOS floor mats - NOS fog lights (stockers are pitted from driving) - a rear valance (full assembly with backup lights etc), two extra "marauder rims" 18" ones made for the Mustang. The Marauder center caps do not fit flush in these rims (something that's been discussed on this site). I have the coat that came with the car - like new XXL. I have the bag the coat came in. All original owners documents - window sticker. a box of other marketing materials (can document later). All the intake and other original parts that came off the car when Trilogy added are included. Black MARUADER logo'd cover. trunk organizer.

Price is $17,500 for everything. The car is in the Phoenix Arizona area. PM me with questions but please don't waste my time if you can't afford it. I bought a new house and have kids about to enter college. life has changed and so have the demands in my life. I have to part with this car and it is difficult for me. please be respectful of my time by not wasting it unless you're really serious. thank you.

Will CBT be donating the hand cream and tissues?

A subscription to playboy is probably not a good idea. Then we have to hear about all that math debating!
BTW...Any pictures of this beast?

Is everything behind the Trilogy stock? (tranny, driveline etc.) I'll go back and read the OP as well. And yes, pics would be great. Thanks.

Yes, the MM is still available. I'm terribly busy with travel lately. Here is a photo album of the car and some receipts of interest.
