seems like a decent price - who needs buckets for a car that age - part of the charm.

+1. I missed my chance on a 1969 Marauder X-100 that needed some interior & minor body work around the time I bought my 2003 MM.

That car has the "Twin Lounge" seats up front. We refer to these nowadays as a split bench. These are more rare than buckets in the '69 and '70 model years.

If you need buckets and console just fit in some out of 03-04 MM CV sport!

Interesting....I like the couch, don't get me wrong. At least with the fold down arm rest ;) I'm surprised how many are still around and for sale. I've never seen one on the road in person, ever. I kinda want one....

There are a few around where I am, they are kind of so weird (unique) looking they are awesome - big car in person. makes a GM B-body look small

Im not a fan of these marauders. Remind me of a 73 charger with that big ass end.

Ahhh.... :hmmm:

What one could do with modern Jon Kaase P51 aluminum heads, intake and a good cam.
You could REALLY wake up that 'sleeping giant' 429 motor!

Heck.... you could go nuts and drop in a stroker crank for a stock looking 529 cid engine.



And the emissions Nazis couldn't do a thing about it!

Amen, brother. While I sold my older cars to afford Marauder, sniff laws may push me back a few model years someday. I still lust after the classics, I'm just not Wayne Carini :shake:
