Friend of my dad has a car lot says he bought an original mystichrome marauder. I never heard of such a thing. I figured this would be the best place to try to sort it out.

There is one out there, I've seen pictures floating around but it is an aftermarket paint job. Looks pretty sweet though.

Not factory, but I’d like to see it.
Always felt like Dark Shadow Gray would be a great color for the Marauder too, was planned for 2005 IIRC.

Back in ‘03 I saw a metallic green one so anything is possible when $ are plentiful.
Still one of the coolest ones I’ve come across.

SB and JPB were to always be available with Dk./Lt. color changes every other year. White would have replaced DTR.

Thanks Derrick! Yes, that is same shade as the one I saw, even the non tinted windows.
In person it was sharp.

No I’m trying to prove he is full of it, and whoever told him it was original is full of it.

Have him send his vin off to ford show parts and order a build certificate. He'll get the prod # as well as the original color of the car.

The only factory "experimental" color I recall was when they painted the 1998 concept gray with flames as a styling exercise. Can be seen here, post 33 https://mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=59139&page=3
I thought it looked great

Someone did a gunmetal gray color one time. I think the original color was DTR. I thought it came out nice and would have been a great factory color if they ever continued producing the MM.
