Hi all,
So Friday morning after getting the oil changed in Black Beauty I pull into the car wash. As I'm paying, what rolls in behind my Marauder but another Marauder. I mention this to the attendant (who likes my Marauder) and ask him if he has ever seen two together before? He says no and I start to stroll over to this other Marauder for an introduction. It's not just another Marauder but another 2003 300A! The only problem is that my Marauder really needed to be there since I live down a short dirt road and a long dirt driveway/trail. This Marauder looked better now than mine did when I bought it in late December 2004! Out steps a fairly distinguished looking retired gentleman and I can't help but strike up a conversation (since 2 Marauders in the same place at the same time around here is quite an occasion!) He says he saw a concept Marauder at a show in 1999 and told his local Ford dealer that if they were ever produced he wanted one. Well, of course, they did and his was ordered and he took delivery in June of 2002 (if I remember correctly.) So he had one of the earliest Marauders I have ever seen! He said he had moved here from Ohio about seven years earlier and that his Marauder was only driven on nice days and only had 39K miles! Well, it looked great to me! I mentioned the site and he said he had been on it years ago but would take another look. I told him this was the premere site for info on these great cars and that there was going to be a National Show in Atlanta in September. He seemed very interested and hopefully he will be able to attend.
