    Marauder Blue-Hair Special

    Don't really want to bring it up, but I almost brought up my lunch yesterday after picking my car up from its transmission rebuild. Went down to the show room and was looking for a blue or silver Marauder. Found one of those "Special" Marauders with the half landau roof, chrome wheel well inserts and side carriage lamp. A previous thread by JerseyVics (search for Tommy's Ragtop) showed pictures of one similar. Only difference with this one was the badge on the rear pillar behind the rear side windows. The JerseyVics picture showed a Godshead similar to the one in the wheel center of the Marauder. This was a strange looking Roman or Greek dude facing right with the words "Mercury Grand Marquis Signature Edition" around him. There was no pricing for the "upgrade" with total cost of the car a little more than $28,000. So there is more than one out there. Anymore around?

    BigDog can back me up by going to Reedman showroom. He knows where it is.

    Wait a minute...this was definitely a Marauder, but the badge said "Grand Marquis Signature Edition"???????

    Not re-opening the old discussion, but that's just plain ignorant.
    The BADGE, that is...not the landau roof...

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    read your post more clearly. Car appears to be in Pa.

    Was the MSRP 28K, or was the actual selling price 28K? Marauder's MSRP is 35K, so an MSRP of 28K wouldn't be a Marauder.

    Selling price a little over $28k
    Yes, PA it is.
    Sarge - always search first (don't look too much like a goof that way).
    yeah - Marauder it was, 5-spoke chrome wheels and bumper said MARAUDER. It was a 300A. Guess they couldn't grab a 300B to play with.
    BigDog - eat a couple for me. And take your camera - didn't have mine with me.
