    2003 Marauder, 28k miles, Vortech Supercharged & Intercooled, Built Teksid Block

    Gentlemen, up for sale is my 2003 Mercury Marauder. I purchased it with 23k original miles on it and a hurt engine. I had one of the best shops in FL install a brand new Teksid block with forged internals and new 8-thread Cobra heads. I'm moving into a new house now and it's time for the toy to go. I have been driving the new setup for ~5,000 miles as a daily driver without any hiccups --- it runs great! The air suspension is great an offers a silky-smooth ride and it's very quiet inside.

    I get about 20mpg cruising on the highway and about 15mpg farting around in the city. It is still on the stock Vortech pulley but does come with the air/air intercooler, so with the new engine it's about 5psi and put down 430whp on the dyno. It's a pulley swap/tune away from 500+whp. The engine is the same spec used on 1,000hp drag Cobra's --- it isn't breaking a sweat at this power level.

    I would give the exterior a 9.9/10 it's showroom new for the most part besides the blue ghost-flames. I gave it a buff with the porter cable and the paint looks perfect.

    The interior I would give a 9.99/10 as there really isn't any discernible wear and it still smells new! No rattles and everything works as it did when new.

    Please see the list of modifications below, I have receipts for all parts including the full engine build. I would prefer to sell her to an enthusiast or collector that will appreciate the car.

    This is the vortech S-trim, currently running a very conservative stock pulley and 5psi.

    The upgrades were done about 5,000 miles ago and has been running great since. As mentioned, I do have all the receipts for everything in the build.

    This should be smog legal yes. It also still has the front cats so it should pass the sniffer.
