Screw the color! It can be repainted!

[Curless]

There is a TON of $$$ in the color change, look at the interior...not my choice but thats a lot of work!

"....2004 Mercury Marauder 03 Cobra Swap engine has been worked all the way through it did almost 550hp to the Rear wheels at Mo's Speed Shop In Dallas,Ga ..."

Hmmmm, Marty may have some info he can share on the car.

I think I would paint it white, leave the black part in the hood. Add stock front, widened wheels in the rear. Leave the interior red and definitely add the darkest tint possible.

No thanks... that is absolutely hideous looking. Don't care if its got 600 to the tires I'd be embarrassed to be seen in it. Even the interior is awful.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Is this not the same one with red 22's? This one has been around a few times on the board. I think there is a craigslist ad in ATL for like $17K

True, i figure for the amount of work already gone into the engine, the only thing the car would need is a paint job. I would love to keep the interior red, but completely black out the exterior with tuxedo black paint job. like KITT from knight rider :P

I just read the ebay description

yeah what he said

[DOOM]

To me 550RWHP is way too low for a car with those mods!

There are 2 marauders in my neck of the woods with 2.3 WHIPPLES and they both are making over 600 to the wheels!

This car on eBay has the 3.4 WHIPPLE!

It should be making well over 600RWHP!

Well with that color combination, you have to figure of about 30% loss of horsepower

[yjmud]

looks a lot better with out the god awful red wagon wheels it had on it in the video

Yup, you know what Red does to MM performance.... ;)

[maineiac]

rip out the motor and sell off the rest

[Raleigh Marauder]

That's not for me. Pretty hideous inside and out...

The only thing it's missing is Lambo doors...

[Mebot]

I don't know that's kind of harsh don't you think? i mean I look at it this way: someone too time and effort to get that Marauder to look that way. Not many people (it seems) really care for that color combination, but someone went through the process and from what I can see it looks really good. The interior looks good and so does the engine bay. someone had a vision and didn't cut corners. I really can't speak much more since I havent actually seen the car in person.

point im trying to make here is I wouldnt this car to be sold to someone just to be gutted. I think a paint job is ok, but just pulling the pieces out such as the motor is just overkill.

[eagles1999]

I say paint it back silver leave the interior it'd look cool I've seen some corvettes and Mercedes with that color combination looks good

Lol true !! :D

[Mebot]

i wonder what the Buy In Now price is, or at least what the reserve price is

[eagles1999]

Isaw it on Craigslist for like 17k I think it was

[Vortech347]

Looking at the photo's of that car almost gave me a seizure.

[sailsmen]

A personalized car = A personalized car. The more you personalize it the less the number of people who like it.

[stevengerard]

+1 ^ narrows the market

not nearly as bad as I expected. Not my taste either but do appreciate the apparent effort that went into it. I think a few things like less two-tone on the doors, make the dash and steering wheel black and it would look better. Its kind of a cool old fashioned 1960s red.

[hotford]

colour compo is not eye pleasing to say the least........even if it does make 600 to the wheels, i just cant get over the colour compo........
gonna be a hard sell............

[DOOM]

That car should be making at least 100 more RWHP!!!

[breeze]

If I could I'd be over this thing

hmm... conservative tune? :confused: :P

[sailsmen]

The car may have been tuned for what the drive train can handle.

[maineiac]

next someone will paint one canary yellow,even under the hood get that chevy red out of there

[HiHoSilver]

I'd sport it, just the way it is. Although I would never paint mine like that. If the deal was right, its worth the odd color, for the performance.

Guy must have sold the rim's he had on it , put the right god head factory ones back on for the sale.

[T Prok]

All it needs is an 01 on the door and it would be complete!
