I knew Florida Highway Patrol had some Marauders but I didn't know they were marketed to LEOs.

FHP did have Marauders though. I think they had about 20. Columbus, Ohio had at least one
They could not buy them from the factory or a dealer---Ford corporate directive. FHP had some Marauders, purchased by an individual , modified by Dennis Reinhart and then LEASED to the FHP. Marauders with Police markings were cars seized during the commiting of a crime. Constables and Sherrifs could purchase them as their personal cars. The reason behind it was, so many police departments were sueing Ford over the CV gas tank fire fiasco that corporate decided to not sell them the Marauder. I hope this clears the "Police Edition of the Marauder"----there never was one. Cruzer

There NEVER WAS A MARAUDER POLICE CAR BUILT BY THE FACTORY FOR THAT PURPOSE......Those you have seen are all either seized by the police and integrated into their fleet, purchased by individuals in law enforcement and marked and used by them in their job, Constable--Sheriff, etc. or the FHP ones leased from an individual. I have been in on the Marauder Program since it's inception thru connections I had in Dearborn and speak from first- hand knowledge---if you doubt me--ask Steve Babcock.
If you are not familiar with the "Fuel Tank Fire" fiasco, here it is in a nutshell------In the early 2000s, a series of CV police cars were involved in rear end collisions which resulted in rupturing of the fuel tank and resultant fire and loss of the LEOs life. They cited 18 accidents and a group of cities sued Ford and made National headlines for years saying what a fire trap the CV police car was. Tests by all the automotive safety groups found that the Ford had a phenominal record of protecting it's occupants and that the number of fatal fires was better than any other police car in use at that time . The exceptionally high speed and weight of the colliding vehicles would have caused fatalities in any other car in service at that time. Summing up----I cannot find any evidence that Ford ever lost a court case involving the safety of the CV. This unfair treatment by the many police departments resulted in a ban on selling the Marauder to police departments .
I hope I have properly presented the facts in this case---if anyone has proof otherwise, please post and correct me--I'm old and my memory isn't what it used to be. Maury

Yep Ford never made a "Police edition Marauder". They were all adopted so to speak of by individual depts as a bone stock car and then retro fitted with whatever needed equipment.
