The city of Burlington,NC {pop. >50,000} had been using 2 Marauders for their traffic enforcement division to supplement their fleet of police cars. 1 of them is in use now & rumor has it that one of them would be auctioned off in Spring 2013. Whatever information I could get about this, I'll pass it along here. Here is the webpage w/ the 2 Marauders; http://www.ci.burlington.nc.us/index.aspx?nid=488

In that pic I'm wondering why no front push guard or spotlights particularly on a traffic unit. I can however understand how they don't have overheads.

They're set up as undercover units {strobe lights inside corner lights & tail lights,clip-on visor lights, siren, 2-way radios etc.} & has the same factory paint as when they were new. Patrol units would have the A-pillar spotlight, light bar on the roof & decals.

Saw both of them at the MOB car show a couple of years ago.

Marauders look like A$$ with pushbars.....
