Marauder COT Tube powdercoated.. MINT

[larryo340]

Marauder COT that was powdercoated and never installed. It was in mint condition before the powercoating and is beautiful now. It will need new O-rings...who knew that they come apart, but they do and there are two o-ring seals where the two half's connect.

Price $375 shipped within the lower 48

I prefer PayPal for payment with no additional fee.
my PayPal ID is...ioevery1@hotmail.com









HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE INSIDE OF THE TUBE
NO RUST OR CORROSION

Any reasonable offers?

Oh boy! Good luck with the sale!

Nice, but what did they cost w/o powder coating?

they are obsolete and do rust, used ones in not as nice shape are $250-300 and are hard to find

I don’t understand how this is still available.

[stevengerard]

less people with marauders and those that have them are using them less, just my guess. I too am surprised it hasn't sold yet.

I've been in touch with the OP...he's going to get back with me this morning.

Most Marauders are in the east where roads are salted.
Rusts continues whether siting or being driven.

No offense, 400 bux for a piece of metal is ridiculous. If it was me in need of a replacement I would make something work or buy something aftermarket like an on 3 kit. Worst case I would cut my original rusted COT just above the temp sensors flare the ends and run hoses where they needed to go. Just thinking out loud. GLWS though!

I do appreciate your opinion, but I’m assuming that you have no experience in restoring a vintage car. NOS parts command a very high price especially when they are very rare. While a ‘03-‘04 Marauder is not vintage many parts are “unobtainium” ie: rear bumper cover.. we all have seen what these go for.
While you might be content in making something work if your tube goes bad, and for a daily driver that would be good enough for some.. for most Marauder enthusiasts it won’t do.

Yep,

Supply and Demand.....OEM/NOS Marauder parts are rare.
Wait for another 20 years and see what these parts are going for.

Buyers pay $1,600 for a set of OEM BOSS 429 plug wires.
Don't ask what NOS BOSS Thermactor valves and Rev Limiters go for.....

Yeah, but a not dis-similar item sold here for $175 last spring. Going back about 5 years, I viewed a thread about a brand new COT still packaged for $160.
