This might explain why the dealers keep asking me to bring in my Grand Marquis for service!

I have an '04 and the dealer still refers to it as a GM.

Rest assured you have an authentic Marauder. The only way to get a certificate is to give Ford a legitimate VIN.

^^^^^ What he said ^^^^^

Don't take my tounge-in-cheek post earlier as a dig on you, the confusion you mentioned was quite common with the '03's, and like Jim said, to this day, some folks just figure the Marauder is nothing more than a fancy trim level for the GM.

Another way to find the build #?

I have not posted on the site until now but I have had my '03 since January. I love it! I was wondering if there was another (free) way to determine the build number of your car? Any suggestions? Thanks guys!

Not sure if it would affect the production of the certificates, but with the line ending, it may be a good time to get one.

Probably won't affect anything since the certificates come from Ford.

Been a while since this thread started and anyone posted. Just got my Marauder and looking to get the Birth Certificate. Is the certificate I saw someone order from FordShowParts.com the same as the Ford Performance Info Center (800) FORD-788?

IIRC, around a week, maybe less.
