Bargain ProCharged Marauder

[magindat]

Magindat Marauder is for sale. I just can't take care of her like I should any more. I'm firm at $8000 for an enthusiast here and I'll help you ship it. She's not perfect - and the price reflects it. She needs an owner to show her the love I used to.

There's so much done to this car, I can't even begin to list it all...

Just under 150K miles.

The good:
Trans rebuilt in Jan 11. Has about 30K on it.
2 replacement front seats come with.
Many parts come with
Manuals included.
Jacket (2xl) included.
Exhaust rebuilt to allow removal of H-pipe section for easy access.
Lowered with cut front springs.
Custom rad cover. Custom aluminum proguard.
See the link below for a list of work.
Custom lights be hind grille (not pictured)
First (prototype) set of Aeroforce guages.
No leaks.
New interstate battery last month.

The bad:
Blower could use a new seal. No detriment, just slings a little oil.
Alternator connector plug could use replaced.
Needs front shock and an alignment.
Front seat has the classic 2003a wear spot, but I have a replacement seat that comes with.
Rear suspension converted to manual. I have all the part to re-make to automatic again.
Wheels are dulling a bit.
Paint isn't perfect and could use some touch ups.
Needs both O2 sensors
The electrics (power windows and mirrors) need some attention.

Bottom line: This car just needs some love. I just don't have the time to give her any more. She carried me 65 miles one way to work for 3 years and shows it. There's no dents or anything, just paint chips. All her needs could be handled in a hobbyist's garage with some time and TLC.

It's a LOT of car and a LOT of custom work. It would be a very inexpensive way for someone to have a VERY fast, reliable, and good looking Marauder and have a hobby all ready to go.

I have about 8 grilles, a fan shroud, a LCM, overhead console, Blower controller, and bunch of other parts to go along with it.

The car has been very good and very reliable to me. The tune is conservative. Right now, the car will likely run mid-high 12's right off the street (in Florida weather). It handles amazingly and retains a decent ride, too.

It does NOT have cats, so don't ask about emissions. I realize this limits the market, but the price reflects it. Good condition on kbb is $6500. Just the stereo is worth the $1500 difference from $8000! Where else you gonna get a FREE Procharger?!

Again, the price is VERY firm. Please don't ask me to sell any of the parts mentioned individually. It all goes with the car. The title is in my hand a free and clear.

Please email me at magindat@gmail.com. PM's may take a while to answer as my time for spending on the site has been greatly diminished as well.

Thanks. I hope she finds a good home. Soon.

Thanks,
Rich

Sorry to hear you selling her Rich.

[SC Cheesehead]

Dang! What Z said, GLWS.

[vkirkend]

GLWS!!!! You will miss her....

[dohc324ci]

Priced for a quick sell; GLWS awesome price.

[sailsmen]

I can state the MM and the owner are both RIGHT!

[mgmsleeper]

PM sent!.....

[DOOM]

That is one hell of a deal!!!

GLWS!!!

[MMBLUE]

I am in shock.... Magindat and TJA ....Speechless :confused: GLWS

[magindat]

Thanks Billy, Rex and Z.

I'm sure I will miss her. We've been together about 9 years....

I'll go over every little mod and quirk with the new owner.

It's a considerate build. Safety and reliability were foremost as mods progressed over the years.

Someone's gonna get a solid car for the money.

That reminds me... She has been in 2 accidents. Not hiding anything - just forgot. Both were repaired under insurance at the same place - which is also where I painted her. As other members here can attest, she's always been straight and true and unless I pointed it out, you'd never know by looking at her. And yes, this is also reflected in the bargain price.

[magindat]

I should also note:
The car was originally black. The color DOES NOT go through the doorjambs or anything, so If you wanted to shoot it back all black, it's an EXTERIOR paint job only. All the gaps were taped off and the under-hood, jambs and trunk trough are all stock black.

[LANDY]

This is a great deal!

[cougar9150]

Damn, sorry to see you sell. Wish I was at a better place so I could add it to my garage. Good luck with the sell, hope it can stay in Fl.

Now you've got me thinking on how could I justify another SC Marauder.....:shake:......I've got a lot to think about.

[Big Block Wes]

I don't suppose you're entertaining possible trades are you???

[lji372]

where's that guy who can never get a good enough deal? looks like it's this or nothing for you. buy this or go away.

definitely priced to move! i can't believe it's not gone.

if we weren't moving soon it would be in my garage

I may. Throw it at me.

You could make money parting her out at this price - not that I want that!

I know her value and she's priced honestly. As well as she's been treated, and runs, she's worth it.

[1stMerc]

Rich, good luck with sale.

[a_d_a_m]

This car was bargain priced before. (a couple years back when it was for sale)
This is just a crazy price.
GLWS; if I hadn't bought a Grand Marquis last year I'd be all over this now.

It was, but the sale would have been sloppy. Bank note to pay off and such. I was also in a financial pinch.
This deal is clean. I hold title.
I'm also in no real rush.
And whomever shows with the cash will drive away with a complete hobby and a garage full of parts and memorabilia.

[Hotrauder]

This car is straight and there is no one straighter than Rich. I can attest to the quality of the work and the mods as Rich did them. He did many others for members here including a great deal of the FruitPunch mods. This is a deal that someone should have grabbed already. I would trust Rich to do my heart transplant should I need one. Want a very fast and well set up fun ride, this is it. talk to Rich, he hasn't covered a lot of what makes this car special. Dennis

[Cobra25]

:beer:I say Ed wants it too.

[Seneca]

Good luck with sale Rich!!!!!! Awsome deal

[Paul]

Yes, good luck with sale Rich! This is a fantastic deal. (and you will miss her)

[Marauderman]

I am in shock.... Magindat and TJA ....Speechless :confused: GLWS

Add me to the list ---all my friends letting go their MM----ah shucks!!!!!!

and just after HOTRAUDER let his go---dang---hope it goes to Ed so it stays in Fla...

Well, I hope he calls me. :beer:

Rich,
Forgot to mention in the many PMs last night, I'll have pics for you by this weekend sir. ;)

...Also forgot to ask, do you still have the original rims for it?

Thanks! I liked that look too.

I sold that grille.... got an offer I couldn't refuse...

It's got a standard grille with the wheel center cap GH mod on it right now.

However I have about 6 or 8 more grilles to do 'fun stuff' with that come with the car...

I'm happier with that I think. ^

I'll be sending pics your way this weekend Rich. ;)

[magindat]

More stuff I'm remembering that comes with the car....

* Brand new reverse camera for the F90 I never installed.
* Original radiator cover
* original air dam
* templates for proguards, rad covers, etc.
* box of assorted hardware - some original - some from mods
* original dif cover
* donut spare
* spare set of splined gorilla lugs
* spare gorilla spline tool
* alternator pulley tool
* Polished coil covers - that need stripping and repolishing
* Colex coil cover bolt covers with GH emblems

I'm sure more will come to mind...

[MercNasty]

any pics of the interior?

[Shaijack]

Would this Marauder count as a SB and a Black? Like buying two for the price of one.

[Blackmobile]

I Gave anyone the chance to say this, so I'll will.................I'll take it, pick it up next weekend.

[magindat]

Who hoo!!!!

:banana2:

SOLD!!!

And staying in the family!

Rich sorry to hear you had to get rid of her, Ed will make a nice home for her.

[SC Cheesehead]

Good stuff, Rich!

Now just because the Marauder's gone, don't make yourself scarce; keep in touch; okay? ;)

[Cobra25]

Congrats on the sale Rich. I'm sure Ed will be happy. Remember now , the friendships you made over the years will never change.

[magindat]

I'll be around. I'm looking for a town car...

:2thumbs: Anyone who wanted a SC MM blew it when they passed this one up. The stereo alone made it worth it, along with all the other goodies (Marauder Jacket, always wanted one). Blower is already off and will be on it's way for a refit tomorrow. Lemonade will see the track again. :burnout:
Best thing: Not one puff of smoke comes out of the tailpipes, more than I can say for 135K mile on the CVPI.

[Bradley G]

Let's face it the car was for sale for a while.
You were meant to have a turn with it.
Happy to see her being treated to upgrades.

[cougar9150]

Yup Ed got a second supercharged MM and I got a clean 5.0 Cougar for great a deal. Win win for everyone.

Got my plane ticket booked yesterday and I'll be down in your neck of the woods really late on the 22nd with a license plate to take it home. We'll setup a time to meet up on the 23rd, see you soon Ed.

Congrats on the new Town Car Rich, looks super clean. Glad you were able to find a SSM member to pick up Lemonade but we'll miss you at the picnics.

The car needs Ed's TLC. He's the right owner.

[Blackmobile]

After getting Fruit Punch I realized there was nothing more to do on it other than wash and wax it :cool:. With Lemonade I can now have projects! :D

[ctrlraven]

Congrats to the former and new owners!

[ckadiddle]

Glad to see you were able to keep the car in the family. :banana: You know it has sentimental value to us. I wish I had been in a financial position to grab it.

People have asked if I was going to repaint it, but I've told them no way, I've got too many pictures of it the way it is. Wouldn't make sense to change it.

For about 45 minutes. Putting the blower back on is a breeze once all the piping is in place. :D

[a_d_a_m]

Funny thing about this...as soon as it sells, I'm in the market for it. Just missed it.
