2003 Marauder For Sale - 18,300 miles
The time has come to sell my Marauder.
I bought her brand new in December 2002.
MSRP was $35,000+....got her 'on the road' for $30,600 with the year end rebate.
It is pristine, with a few good mods.
Just 18,300 miles.
I just had the OEM 4.6L engine rebuilt with new bearings and rods.
Wayyy back when (2004), I spun several bearings while drag racing....with under 10,000 miles on the 4.6L engine.
I pulled the OEM engine, put it in my basement and replaced it with my now deceased Big Bore 5.0L. (split the block....
)
The newly rebuilt 4.6L has steel oil pump gears, ported heads with +1mm valves, Crower Cams ($1,200!), extrude honed intake with plenum spacer.
Heads were port matched to extrude honed/ported intake. I installed the 'Head Cooling' mod to the back of both cylinder heads.
Alternator case, front timing cover and upper intake are all powder-coated silver. (they almost look white because of the flash pictures)
Lower intake is painted Hi-Temp silver.
Kook's headers with Hi-Flow Cats, X-Pipe and Magna-Flow S.S. 18" mufflers...OEM over the axle pipes and OEM MEGS tips.
Headers, pipes and Cats were HPC coated silver.
Transmission has J-Mod valve body, Hughes deep sump finned aluminum pan, and an additional B&M cooler (fan assisted) in series with OEM cooler.
Rear axle has a SVO aluminum Rearend Girdle, Redline Gear lube; OEM 3.55s
Rear rims are widened to 9.5" with P295 Nitto 555s and fronts are stock width rims with P255 Nitto 555s.
Suspension and brakes are OEM/bone stock.
Exterior has rear spoiler and a 'Pro-Guard under rear bumper along with "MARAUDER" front fender badges.
Windows are tinted at Maryland legal 35%.
Interior is spotless, the leather seats don't even have wrinkles!
Aluminum 'MARAUDER' foot pedals with custom dead pedal. Floor mats are 95% perfect.
'Some' additional gauges along with dual gauge A pillar.
If you don't like gauges....you won't like this Marauder!
Don't mind the missing coil covers...I pulled them off to check the spark plugs and didn't put them back on before shooting the pictures.
The Marauder is in the Baltimore, Md area.
Ready to drive home.
BTW: She still sounds awesome and she still moves!
I've researched its value and Hagerty, which takes into account rareness and future collectability, has the following listing for a Marauder:
#1 Condition - Concours : $26,200
#2 Conditon - Excellent : $19,500
#3 Condition - Good : $15,600
#4 Conditon - Fair : $10,000
I'm asking $19,000 OBO.
