    Carfixer Marauder

    I bought this car brand new in October of 2003. It was the first and only brand new car I ever bought. I live in Florida which means this car has never seen snow or salt. I daily drove it for the first 2 1/2 years I had it until my job gave me a company car. When I lost my company car, I bought a daily drive to keep this one in the garage. I have put about 10k miles on this car in the last 3 1/2 years. It now sits at 45K miles. I sold my ATV the week I bought this car to make space in the garage. It is and always has been garage kept.

    This car has been tastefully modified. I am quite a purist when it comes to the appearance of the car. The only visual mod you will find is the shaved trunk emblem, Bob White chrome inserts and a custom made front grille emblem. It also has Marauder Concepts Underbody Lighting and Marauder Concepts door handle and cup holder lighting as well as dual hood lamps.

    The rest of the mods are functional and performance:
    Trilogy supercharger with 3.2" pulley.
    4 position chip with 3 tunes installed and a select switch.
    3 tunes on the chip are 93 octane, 91 octane, 100 octane.
    K&N cold air kit.
    Ford GT fuel pump.
    4.10:1 FMS rear end gears.
    Eaton TruTrac differentail.
    Moser 31 spline axles.
    Metco driveshaft loop.
    Baer 14" front brake kit with ceramic quiet pads.
    Baer Delella rear brake rotors.
    TCE stainless steel brake lines.
    Hurst LineLoc.
    Full size 300a spare tire.

    All mods were professionally installed by me

    In my quest to keep this car family friendly, it still has the stock exhaust from manifolds to tail pipes.

    This car has run a best of 12.2 on 100 octane and 12.5 on 93 octane fuel in the 1/4 mile.

    This car has been meticulously over-maintained. Every fluid has been changed way ahead of schedule, oil has been changed every 3k miles or 6 months with Motorcraft 5-20 semi-synthetic blend oil. Motorcraft filters are all I've ever used.

    I have set the price at a realistic $18K. No games. Compare with others for sale, you will find this is the correct price for this car.

    The price is right, I drove Tallboys' back from Florida non-stop with my son with no issues.

    This car is very similar to mine.
