    And that's a true story.

    Owned 2 Vics and GM's version. Despite my chevy being faster. The MM I fell in love with because of styling,appearance, ride, quality of build.
    I was lucky enough to have both at same time. Cheby long gone. MM enjoying fruitfully. Done several road trips with it. More to come.
    It wasn't me who needed convincing, it was my wife. Took her to drag strip and ADAM took wife for rip....she was sold. Month later I bought one

    But seriously. Have always had G-body's and loved them. Family came along and needed 4 doors. Bought a 99 Supercharged Regal GS hated the front wheel drive. Was looking for a "cool 4 door". Bought a 95 Impala SS after it nickle and dimed me to death for 2 years I said forget this. (Did enjoy the car though). Saw a Marauder driving down the road in 2012 and had forgotten how beautiful they where/are............ for a Ford product. Oh boy was I hooked. Searched and searched these cars where hard to find! Missed out on a car at a local small dealer. That kicked my search into high gear. Almost traded my Impy SS for a higher mileage super clean car in St. Louis but it didnt work out. Venting my frustrations to my Father he said his dealer buddy found a 2003 Blue Marauder with 30K miles.................... wut? Somehow someway everything worked out and I daily drive my low mile boosted blue and cannot be happier. My wife drives one now. My buddy Turbov6Bryan (new member) actually bought my wife's 1st Marauder a few weeks ago. They are extremely well built comfortable cars for the price. In my eyes there isnt much else out there that can compete with them dollar for dollar. It is a shame they didnt make more of them.

    My dad bought a 96 Impala new, I bought it from him...mother inlaw wanted a new car so I talked her into a Marauder knowing that I could add it to our collection... her car got stolen, but I swung a deal on the one I currently have. I wanted a Chevy and a Ford muscle sedan!

    grew up with Buicks and Cadillacs, all with the biggest motors in them.
    Driving, I opted for muscle/pony cars
    hated the introduction 95 Impala, bought the LT1 Formula.
    Went through a few 4th gen Formulas, with Park Avenue Ultra as daily driver.
    Saw Marauder ad in 03 and wished I had such money.
    Bought a cheap P71 in 07 and knew Marauder must be awesome.
    Got sick, or outgrew muscle/pony cars 2 years ago and found my Marauder.
    Bought it, sold pony car, done.
    sent from my rotary phone using Technicolor

    I started with a 2003 Crown Vic LX Sport and liked it so much figured I might as well go all the way to a Marauder. Right choice.

    In 02 or 01 I think I seen the marauder concept on tv at a autoshow just had ford bages on it well then my hart fell in my butt and knew more then any car in the world this is what I needed. 12 years later got a black a with 100k miles had that for 3 years sold it with 117k miles to buy another black a cobra block eaton with 50k. And don't care how bad life gets I will never be without one. I even have 2 medium jackets so hopefully my son would want a mm one day
