Deal of the Day?

[Zack]

I think so.
131k miles, runs and drives.
Drivers side Seat bag went off, (that's not a pretty sight) and the dash and wheel bags were never fixed.

Back seat has a few cigarette burns. Everything else will clean up decently.
Needs tires for sure.
Drivers side tail lamp is junk.
$1900 LOL

Ill get it home later on...then find time to clean it up and see what Ill do with it.

I have a guy with both air bags for sale.

[slickster]

the driver side was hit does it have a clean title? great deal

[loud2004marquis]

Hopefully the floor mats are good

[Melon]

Holy crap I'm jealous.

[jwibbity]

you find all the good deals!!!1

[Zack]

Just drove it 10 miles back to work.
Problems are:
Warped rotors
Bad ignition coil (s)
EATC needs rebuilt
Needs Rear Shocks

SCORE!!!!1

[Zack]

After looking at this, I'm not sure it was ever hit.
The trunk is caved in when it bottomed out horribly. That could have deployed the bags.
Also, this car has the optional floor mat delete.
Booooo

[HotRaud90]

What?! Lucky...

[marauderthis]

What about the garbage POS plastic actuator does that need to be replaced too?

I am very curious --- when the engine cools down can you remove the COT plug. I'm dying to know if this cars COT is loaded with air

What a peace of junk! You can't be seen in that! After all you are ZACK.

Let me take it off your hands, for lets say............$8.00.







Good Fined Want your money back?

[JoeBoomz]

Hah, you could part out and sell the pieces for more than that. Good work Zack. Are you going to build the first electric-powered Marauder now? I think you've had all of the other kinds already.

[lji372]

Natural gas, propane? Do something cool, like make it a rock crawler!

[Joe Walsh]

Looks like the dealer improperly rotated the tires also!

BTW: Great buy at $1900!!
The front and rear fascias alone are worth a pretty penny now.

[PuntyMario]

how about that reverse light panel. Ive been needing one.

[Zack]

I'm not keeping this. I'll spruce it up and make a buck

I bought it from an auction.
Rear end is 1" over to the PS.
If it's just bent control arms, simple fix. If not, parting it out

[Motorhead350]

Dibs on floor mats.

[Jeronimojc]

Congrats! What a great deal. Been keeping an eye on auctions myself. Not that I have the space for another car, but I am always intrigued.
Glad to know a Marauder has been rescued.

[champ1173]

Damn!!! When I need another car I'm calling you to find me one...

I agree with L.Mark! You're gonna be my new BFF:) I was just kidding about hating you, though you do suck for getting it for so cheap! You could make your money back just parting it.

[Motorhead350]

Do not celebrate just yet. Zack will do whatever he sees more money in. Nothing wrong with that from a business aspect, but from a Marauder fan aspect, it's shameful to even think one could be on it's way to the chopping block. :depress:

I would rather see it chopped and used to save another Marauder then see it beat on every day by someone who will not maintain it or take care of it. And then complains every other day that something is broken and has no money to fix it.

And plus, he can do whatever he wants with his car ... isn't that what you say about yours?

But hey, that is just my opinion. :D

Fix and flip. Parting cars is a little time consuming.
Personally I would find a hiding spot and hoard it

Is the trunk is caved in due to how they move them around in the yards.....big highlow...seen it before.....

Who is this guy?

Someone who feels you should not be casting stones. Wasn't part of your deal to quit snipin? But heron this thread you attack Zack's intentions with the Marauder he got the screaming deal on? A smart response for you in this thread would have been no response. The second smartest would have been to say 'congrats' on the purchase. But your original response showed me that you are jealous that you are unable to get that lucky of a deal. It also encourages me to believe that you are unable to not 'snipe', bite the hands that feed you or play or whine about something.

I laugh at most of your posts ... I Fins them about as informative as a teenage girls gossip session. But you were called out to accept some funds to repair your car, as long as you quit sniping. You already failed by my standards. But hey, I did not contribute ....so as you will say now (you have below as well) 'my opinion does not matter to you'.


Good luck!

Paint it purple...or bright green....and put a GM LS V8 in it!

Those complicated Ford DOHCs don't run for $h*t.

[BigCars4Ever]

I'm interested in how you think three airbags deployed from the car bottoming out. Do you think the car was airborne at some time?

Unfortunately, Zack does have some experience with this!.....:eek:

[sflrainmaker01]

I know I am late to the party, but, nice buy! ;)

[Zack]

After looking the car over, it was definitely hit in the front.
Whomever fixed it did a good job though.

I need to post a pic of the seat.

The car runs like a top, and the trans seems very healthy. A forklift put a gigantic dent in the bottom of the oil pan though

Yep 7.3 turbo diesel.

Nice find Zach I'm sure you will fix everything it needs. Have fun fixing it up.

[Zack]

It needs a rack and pinion!!!!

No biggie I have a spare. :D

[Zack]

Rotors are being turned today and I just ordered Ceramic Brake pads for it.

Ill pick that stuff up after work and hopefully install them later.

Not looking forward to swapping the rack and pinion.

[Zack]

I fixed the headlight halfway decently.

1000-1500-2000

Swirl-x with a red pad then cleaner wax with a green pad.

Looks good!
Does the factory put an anti-UV coating on the plastic?
The reason I ask is because I did the same refurbish to my wife's Subie headlight covers and they looked great....but now I have to use Mequire's Cleaner Wax every few months as the plastic quickly hazes.

spray it with upol wet sand and polish to avoid the hazing.

or add the xpel film

Not sure I'll do anything else since this is a car I'm flipping

How dare you make a 'quick buck' on a Marauder!.....:shake:

You should donate it to a needy, 'down on their luck' member!

While you have the rack out you should consider making the camber slots in the k member bigger. Helps a lot when trying to drop the front when it's time to align it.

[MMBLUE]

I might be interested. I'm MM deprived. I had to sell mine to pay for the kids school.

This might be something I can afford.

[Melon]

Pending price - and my wife - I'd be interested as well. I'd like to get one, but rather have a good looking driver than a show car since I'll drive it year round.

[Zack]

Got the Ceramic front brakes installed last night.
Going to pick up some used tires for it after work.
Ill be repairing the LCM and EATC today as well.
I installed a stock radio this morning (came without anything)

[marauderthis]

Not without stipulations

So far I have:
Replaced Plugs
Replaced Coils
Replaced Rack and Pinion
Replaced Watts Link
Replaced Control Arms
Repaired LCM
Repaired EATC
Replaced Front Brakes and turned the rotors

I still need to:
Change oil
Change Trans Fluid/filter
Swap Air Bags
Attempt to repair the drivers seat where the bag deployed
Repair master switch bezel or replace.
Replace upper trunk carpeting
Clean the car and Buff
Replace drivers side tail light

What it needs I may or may not do:

Tires....badly
Trans tailshaft seal
I 'think' the water adapter gasket is leaking

I sure hope I can still make some money on this car.....or Im gonna be very upset!!!!

Tail shaft seal is relatively easy to tackle no?

[fastblackmerc]

Hardest part is removing the driveshaft.

[Zack]

Tailshaft seal is indeed easy.

[MM in MN]

There are a pair of Marauder front seats available on the Minneapolis Craigs List. Look very nice, they've been there a while, no price, wants an offer...maybe easier than repairing what you've got if you can get them for the right price?

[Zack]

Plus 14 hour round trip driving? NOPE!!!

I have a full set of seats in the front room of the house, but they are way too nice for this car!

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

I wonder if anyone has ever put in some better factory looking seats maybe from a Mustang?

[clmrt]

That crown vic that was for sale recently had some GT seats in it. I think it required a little fab, but it looked great.

I hate my big, flat, squeaky wobbly seat.

[Zack]

Wow that looks incredible!

[clmrt]

**** yeah it does. I spent the next 25.7 hours on the webz looking for alternate bolt-in options. I'd even go with manual.

That's what i'm talking about! Looks way more comfortable than the MM seats as well. Especially for spirited driving.

Back to our regularly scheduled thread...

[L.Mark]

Couldn't you just take the factory seats to an upolster place and have more stuufing added like a bolster???

[Zack]

After way too long, my only tasks on this thing are as follows:
Install 4 newer tires
Alignment
Fix AC

Everything else is done.
Not sure if any money will be made :o

I put too much love into my projects.

[JoeBoomz]

I feel you Zack. I bought one a few weeks back for cheap that had never been washed (EVER), that had an oil leak and leaking axle.

Got it home and heard noises from the timing chain, took it apart, replaced the guides, the chain skipped on the crank while I was replacing the guides. Re-set the timing, put it back together, replaced the oil filter adapter gasket, now it runs rough. Timing is still off. Now I need to take it all apart again.

[Zack]

I really want to keep it and install an E85 carb'ed stroked 390 FE

[TooManyFords]
