Front wrecked SB '04; 5,549mi.

[HotrodMerc]

My '04 was wrecked on 4-08-13, with 5,549 mi. SB with dark leather. We bought it new in March, '04. Was as new until the wreck. I have not settled with ins. yet and can get the car, though ins. co. did have it towed to Copart so as not to have to pay storage. Car still starts and runs, everything works; left fender rubbing on tire lightly. Frame is tweaked, windshield cracked at bottom, left fender pushed back slightly over the door, tho' I believe the door is OK. I have not obtained a copy of the estimate, though the ins. estimate was at $14K. Probably could be done for considerably less. I would want around $5,250, m/l, depending on whether buyer wanted to pick it up or other arrangement. It would take 5-7 days for a check to clear my bank before releasing the car.

Car will be available for few more days, unless a deal is made by a member who PM'd me.

I have pics of exterior, interior, engine, before and after wreck. Can email them tho' I have technical difficulty in getting the pics posted here.

Car was always kept in heated/cooled garage. Guy in body shop commented that interior still smelled new. (Actually Zaino leather treatment, but never had food, drink or smoke in it).

Available with or without the car is one of Cruzer's arm rests, with a padded, upholstered cover on the top; one front bumper cover, new, from the X-pel company in San Antonio. This is an adhesive 3M protective plastic CAD cut for the Marauder.

Thanks, Joe

Geesh, sorry about that. If you do keep it and part it out, I'd like the front seat black leather that goes on the seats. (did the airbags in the seats deploy?)

Man, I'm sorry. So few miles too.

[HotrodMerc]

Babbage, no, airbags in the seats did not deploy. I was not aware there are airbags in the seat. The steering wheel and passenger bags did deploy on impact, though not fully.
They finally poofed out, a while after we were out of the car. Maybe it was because of the relatively low speeds, but I hope they would deploy better than that in a higher speed collison.

[HotrodMerc]

Don't have a copy of the shop estimate yet. Will call the body shop and ask them to send it to me. Other items taken care of via pm's and e-mail. Thanks.

None of our business but why is it taking over 2 years to settle with the insurance people? Just curious

Take the insurance money.

Take the insurance money.

Have a deal pending. Potential buyer is serious and we both are working on it, but if it gets too complicated, too much time or too stressful for buyer or seller, your advice will be well heeded.

Like those pics of the cars on the track. Had mine at Hallett once, with the Ford & Shelby meet in Tulsa. Just needed better front brakes and some good rear lower control arms. Other than that, what a sweet touring car it was. :bigcry:

Hopefully it will be again. :burnout:

Thanks, joe

[HotrodMerc]

Car is sold, paid for, as of this A.M. Buyer plans to fix it.

Thanks to everyone. Joe

Thank you gp. There are no other like the Marauder, my four-door luxury Mustang, especially for the $$. Maybe I'll fix my fox-body and just have fun with it again.

How sad is that glad someone is fixing it
