Sad, sad, sad.

Fixer upper. I see Jery took the center caps already.

Wish it was closer - I could use it!

[IwantmyMMnow!]

That'll buff right out....

Looks like the driver tried to shoot the gap between two 18-wheelers...and lost.:(

My eyes have no Respect, they shoot straight to the parts I would like to have

I may look into buying this....... I am soooo tempted. Gotta stay focused!!

[Black Dynamite]

I feel like I've seen those pinstripes somewhere before. Members car maybe? :confused:

Doesn't even look like it was bad enough to total it. Somebody here definitely ought to buy it, too many good low mile parts to let get split up into half a dozen different Crown Vics.

Doesn't even look like it was bad enough to total it. .Are you looking at the same car? Every body panel but the hood and trunk lid looks crunched, both bumper covers are ruined, and the left front and right rear wheels are at very unhealthy angles...

[68MercuryM250]

I just want the motor/trans/all electricals/interior. Exterior body panels not a biggie, I can get CV doors/hoods/deck lids etc at the local boneyard cheap to fit my MM. Looks like the front suspension is shot, rear end is cocked to the side......damaged I am sure........it doesn't look happy sitting there. I say she is toasted. I almost threw up when I first saw the front bumper.....rear bumper.....sad sad sad!

My idea was two fold, Salvage what I can for me and the group by parting out AND I have a '67 Mercury M-100 swb street truck build project in mind.....would it not be fitting to throw Marauder running gear into a vintage Mercury truck with a great handling package....maybe a little Eaton icing on the top? Paint it DTR to match the MM..... Tell me this is not blasphemy....the car is beyond repair from what I see....I would save it if she was rebuildable. Thoughts and ideas? Flame suit on and zipped. :eek:

[68MercuryM250]

Even tweaked the steering wheel. My MM is dark charcoal interior....this one is the lighter variant. Someone would get a good set of leather seat covers, carpet, etc.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Nothing wrong with that idea, other than it will still be slow..you know being DTR and all...:lol:

Actually a member here...I can't remember his name, mounted I think a 66 Ford p/u onto a Marauder chassis..He has pics somehwere here too..It's red..I tried searching..vouldn;t find it..someone else here will know who it is..Would be a good source of info if seriously wanting to do it.. I think it would be bada$$

That is kind of like my plan -- a Marauder powereed wagon or truck.

I will find teh donor car at some point.

A marauder Ranchero ?!,! I just want the motor and trans, too far away from KY.

Yessssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[BAD MERC]

I don't see what it is - I see what it could be. These need to start being saved.

[Black Dynamite]

Yeah you're right, I see the extent of the damage now. I should have looked at it when I was more awake.

I wonder how hard it'd be to work an old Ranchero body onto the frame?

[68MercuryM250]

I guess I can put the asbestos suit away! :D;)

MarauderPU does not accept private emails so....Maybe he will respond to the post.

What do you all think this toasted MM is worth?? 30k on the motor....

[68MercuryM250]

Any thoughts from the MM world on value of said Toasted MM??

[Steve]

Damn, I want that grille.
