I've wanted a marauder ever since I saw the first marauder commercial when I was 6 years old. 14 years later I finally got the opportunity to buy a dark blue pearl

Congratulations! Welcome! And you got one of the rarest colors! What condition? Any engine and interior pics?

I'll take some more pictures when I get home. It does have the light Flint interior which I prefer. The only problems that it has are cosmetic such as a few paint chips here and there but nothing serious

Seems like a couple of us younger guys all felt the same way when we first saw one. Pretty cool and congratulations on getting a very rare color

Yes, this was 100% crazy. You should have your head examined.

On the other hand, flying to Iowa from Pennsylvania to buy a car that you've never seen in person, and then driving it back 1,100 miles on a handshake and a fresh oil change, is perfectly reasonable :up:

Blue with the light flint interior is the rarest of all MM's. Nice find. Enjoy the ride.

Looks like a good grab. My first MM was a blue. You'll get a lot of enjoyment from it for sure.

I bought it from a marauder enthusiast in Marietta Georgia. I don't know how to look up the build number so if you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated 😉

Bought my DPB from Detroit. Only saw pictures ... Then had it shipped to me. First time I laid eyes on her she was in California. I was a nervous wrcknfor two weeks as it was being shipped out to me ....

The blue 2003 is the proverbial three-legged ballerina. Hard to find but elegantly beautiful. Congrats on chasing your dream and achieving it.

Congratulations on your find! I just happened to luck into mine. I was at a Marauderville and was talking to one of the members about buying a DBP and he said he had one for sale that belonged to a friend of his. I eventually found out the man that owned it was the lead software engineer on the Marauder build.

I can echo this feeling as well. I remember seein a Marauder for the first time out on the highway in 2004 when I was 14. Black with dark tint and the optional spoiler. I was in love, although not entirely sure why. Ten years later I bought one for myself and the love is no longer a mystery. Congrats on the new ride!

i didn't even know what they were.

my buddy had one behind his shop that needed a motor. i was going to make it my sons first car because it was big and safe. after looking for a used motor and wondering why they were so expensive i started doing research. once i saw youtube videos of lidio and some other fellas on the dragstrip plans changed for the car :D

This sounds familiar, same story here. I also got my Marauder when I was 20, I've had it for 2 years now and am still in love with it like the first day I got it.

DBP is such a beautiful colour I can't help it but to be jealous, take good care of it.

Interesting. I thought I was the only DBP Marauder owner in Marietta. Maybe now I am.
