What's wrong with stock? I'd take stock over that broken heap any day.

Pretty much everything.

2 things I don't get, burn-outs, and free revving motors, both just a waist of resources and energy.

True, but its SO dang blasted fun!!!

I’m with you on free-revving, but burnouts are hella fun.

So a Marauder is worthless unless it's been modified?

Can't say I buy that.

So a Marauder is slow unless it's been modified?

There fixed it for ya!

As most know, the clean, unmodified Marauder will be worth the most. I respect people who spend $60k or more on their Marauder 'project', it will only mean something to relatively few. Letting it sit in a barn and rot after your death is a poor option.

Add in Genuine Mercury Accessories and the Marauder Boutique items, the value of these cars will climb quickly at some point. People who strip accessories from their cars prior to sale to sell at a later date irk me and many others I'm sure. If and when I sell my car, ALL of the accessories and spares will go with the sale as I've always done this.

To me yes. It’s a glorified slow Mercury. I would fall asleep driving a stock one. I would much rather pay the small fee for an upgraded one from a trusted source and let them take the hit.

I never understood the value of boring stock. My opinion, others vary.

Unmodified marauder will be worth the most?

I certainly won't get into a debate about which (stock or modified) will be worth more in the future. I've seen it go both ways with other cars. I don't really care because I'm not in it for the money anyway.

That being said, I do find value in stock cars. Anyone with the skill and tools can make a great car, and there are a lot of those folks out there. It's not actually that hard for many of them.

On the other hand, for a large automaker with lots of layers, politics, and personalities to all align and build a really great car, that's an achievement. An achievement worth saving a few samples.

And while the gen-4 Marauder is not one of the world's greatest cars, it is one of Mercury's greatest cars.

Again, I like both the stock and the modified, but a modified car is a piece of art, while a stock car is a piece of history.

Just my 2 cents.

I think it looks good and could care less about the value.

Good probability the hoodrat OP car is 'out of service' after watching the vids. To be resurrected?
