Nice worn tires, bumper fitment to fender, and ding in the hood! Must have been a hellish 78 miles...

Also glad he saved us from so many pics when one 20 something footer CLEARLY is more than enough.

Looks good for a car that was never made in 2002.

Looks good for a car that was never made in 2002.Lots of Marauders were made in 2002. Mine was built in May. Just sold as a 2003.

That's obviously a driver. The springs are cut or worn, toll transponder on the windshield and he's driving a prototype with no VIN? I better get my boots.

I know for a fact from guys that drove the prototype cars here from the Ford plant that they were crushed . A guy I knew got to drive a Marauder for a weekend and it was scheduled to be crushed Monday when he returned it.

Fin out where this car is in Vegas, and I'll go check to out for someone. I personally don't care about it.

Totally legit. I'm writing a check from the funds I was promised from a Nigerian prince as we speak.

Ya, as far as I know only the 4PP cars were sold to the public. I don't believe this guy's story.

Yes those cars are what they call pre production" saleable units ", They meet all regulations .
The test cars ( fun cars ) supercharged cars etc are all crushed , They are only test mules They get crushed because of what they call no liability .

LOL....so glad that you could help that Nigerian Prince out!

I bet that he 'over-wrote' the check for an extra $10,000 just for your troubles in assisting him!

Thanks for this. A shame the console with the rear vents didn’t make it into the production Marauders.
