Marauders end

[Billatpro]

:) Just read that ford plans a version of their own MM in 2004, to be called "Blackhawk" I doubt their giving up on this plateform just yet.

[RCSignals]

The "Blackhawk" was a concept car from a few years back, based on the CV. Where did you read about this 2004 version?

[Billatpro]

January 2003 (cover date) Car Craft. no detail just what I have already posted. I have never seen this car or even knew it exsisted as a show car.

[RCSignals]

Pretty interesting if they do. I wonder if it would be a Marauder basically, or different engine etc?

and just to confuse everbody, buick has a concept car called the blackhawk too.

Ford has talked about this for a while now, when I got my MM I stopped at one local Ford dealer to pick up parts for a work van and some sales guys though the MM was the Blackhawk?
Long live the Marauder...................

Small article and Picture here. This is a story from 2000.

This was in recent Motor trend mag.

"Motor Trend: Ford Crown Victoria Blackhawk
The Blackhawk is to the Ford Crown Vic what the Impala SS was to the standard Chevrolet Caprice. Although Ford officially calls it a concept car, insiders say this bad ride is headed for showrooms next year."

Hey Jefferson - here is the website for LA auto show.

OK, if we've moved this thread to concept cars, how about this one...

At least it's a Ford...

If it had been available before I bought The Black Falcon... ;)

I think before we jump to the conclusion that this car is going away, might want to read this from hotrod.com.

I know they're not the know all and end all spokesman for L/M, but they are hot rod friendly....:D

RF,

Talk about sleak! I want that 49 so bad! I love my MM to death, but if it came to the 49 and the MM, I'm sorry, I'd get that 49! That's retro! See one of those with flame throwers in the back! Hmm... that just gave me an idea for my MM... :D

Great articel KSM, thanks. A shot of confidence for the doubters, and it starts the love affair all over for me. Many of our questions got answered, just wish I knew the publication date on the story.
