I bought this 03 300A few months ago for parts due to low price and it has quite a few miles. It has a documented wreck and a non documented fender bender in its history. Sound system, door locks, keyless entry, several lights, crumby brakes, stunk like smoke inside ect wrong with it. But on the good side engine ran great, trans worked well, nice interior. Put it on jack stands and started taking it apart. Looking at it underneath it was very nice, clean no rust or leaks. looking further pervious owners had kept up with maintenance things . Just couldn't take it apart so made a small budget and started fixing things as spare time allowed. Well I got everything working and started driving it this week. Drives nice , but hard to get use to how quick a black car gets dirty looking :shake: Certainly no show car and completely stock but i'm glad I didn't part it out. Not sure what to do with it , I do not need 2 Marauders. I am going to use it as my DD while I show my truck some love. The truck is 19.5 years old with 200K on it and have decided to keep it for a lot longer. Anyways just wanted to share Thanks

Congrats on the save. It looks real nice in the pictures. Plus it shouldn't have any rust if it was a southern car all of its life.

Wasn't in fla it whole life. Just last 4 years. Also I live near the ocean and the salt air can cause a lot of rust But lucky it so clean underneath :)

Nice save! WINNING!
When you're ready, sell it as an entry level car to someone with low money...

Nice save.:beer: Hey, drive it over to the Orlando area and I'll send you packing with some money back to the coast.;)
Someone needs to save my 04 SB before its too late. Nobody in my area is biting.
