Navchap's MM in Super Rod Magazine

[mercutio]

Just wanted to let all Marauder fans know that there's a full feature on Navchap's MM in the March '05 edition of Super Rod Magazine. If you want to look for it, it's got a black '60 Corvette on the cover and the main blurb is "Who's Bad?" If you want to check it out, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Wal-Mart and various supermarkets are probably your best bet. Thanks for permitting the shameless plug,
Will

[MM03MOK]

Thanks, Will!!! Looking forward to seeing it!

[MarauderMark]

Me too .Maybe get him to sign it one of these days i hope... :up:

Way to represent Padre!!!!!

[mercutio]

I should add that we just got our first copies in the office, so it may be a few days before you can find them on the newsstand. Maybe not, though--sometimes you guys get them before we do.

[SouLRioT]

I'll check it out tonight, but if its a march date, I would have thought it wouldn't come out till mid feb.

[Mike Poore]

Thanks for the "heads up". :D I'll be looking for it. Wow, a famous Padre !!! :2thumbs:

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition! :burn:

That's what goes through my mind every time I see or hear something about Navchap's exceptional MM.:2thumbs:

Way to represent, Keith. :high5:

[MyTMerc]

PS here's what the cover should look like:

[teamrope]

Padre, can we have your autograph on our copy? :)

Congrats from me & Linda!

[CRUZTAKER]

Very good Kieth....well deserved.

[Haggis]

Way to go Keith, congrats and the article. :2thumbs: :woohoo:

[Fourth Horseman]

Woot woot! Congrats Padre! Both you and your fine ride deserve some glory. :bows: I'll definitely be looking for that issue.

[NAVCHAP]

Thanks for your kind words and sentiments. Will is a really enthusiastic supporter of MM net, and it's nice for us to have a friend in the automotive press. Lots of folks made this possible, Steve Babcock, Logan, Dennis Reinhart, and many others. Too bad the MM never really got a chance. The story needed to be told. I have not seen the finished product yet but have complete confidence in Will and Buckaroo. If folks can't find Super Rod for March 2005, don't worry, I'm buying lots of copies. -kjs-

[LimoMerc]

:rock: Way to go!!!! and props to the peeps makin it happen.

[teamrope]

Dratts! Double Dratts! Wally World still has the February issue on the racks. I guss We'll have to wait a week or two. :(

Congradulations Kieth!

[FastMerc]

Picked up my copy today nice article and well put:banana: very good press for us all,and some major attention.way to go...:)

[mercutio]

Picked up my copy today nice article and well put:banana: very good press for us all,and some major attention.way to go...:)

Thank you, and I'm glad to see it's hit the newsstands already. Even though I don't own a Marauder, I've been a fan of the car since its debut, and getting one in print is doubly satisfying when it belongs to such a kind and friendly guy as Navchap.

[NAVCHAP]

Deleted due to duplication, see below.

[NAVCHAP]

Copies of March 2005 Super Rod and tear sheets of the article came in the mail today. Thanks Mercutio! What a nice job Will and the crew at Buckaroo did with this story.

How amazing to see your own car in your favorite car magazine, no joke. Super Rod is sold in the military exchanges in Okinawa. It was a great morale builder.

Especially while driving on the wrong side of the road from what is usually the passenger's side of the car, over in the land of the rising sun.

This is a really great opportunity to tell the story of a car that didn't get a fair chance. The car and this site are presented in a very positive light.

Trying to get in touch with Buckaroo next week to buy a bundle of this issue to have handy for family and friends.

We even get a mention on the cover, wow. Too much fun for one person to take, so my brother Brian, who took the trip to Indy with me after he flew from Florida to San Diego, had to hear the whole story long distance.

I thanked many folks in the data sheet I sent to Buckaroo, and at some point in the next week or so I'll post the highlights of the unpublished info in this thread.

Thanks everyone, you can be proud of how this article turned out, and it's actually pretty funny, but I don't want to spoil it for y'all.

All the best, -kjs-

RoyLPita was nice enough to pick up a copy for me since I hadn't found one yet. Haven't read it yet, report to come. OooRrraahh

It's definantly saahweeeet!I got some pics of it before the strips were on it.it was Dennis's when we were there.i was takin pics of everything.:lol:

[Bluerauder]

I hate to repeat myself, but Man I love that car!
That new BFG tread design looks really good .... seems they would be much better in wet conditions. :D

[NAVCHAP]

Blue: They are Toyos, Logan was telling me at Indy that they are from a Lightning application. Jefferson got them for me at an incredible price through his position as Parts Mgr at a local Ford store in San Diego.

They are designed for bad weather and good grip. They do the job. My brother took us through Colorado on the I-70. Altitude got up over 10k ft. We were in a heavy rainstorm.

On our way East to meet up with Mr & Mrs Teamrope and 4th Horseman in Denver, Brian maintained a steady 45-55 mph on the winding stretch where the speed limit is mostly 50-55. We had no problems.

The tires get a lot of compliments, particularly with the widened rear wheels, folks are surprised to see a panther platform running tires that are almost 10" wide out back. -kjs-

[sailsmen]

Keith, do you have the size front rear and model of the tires?

Congrats on the coverage. :banana2:

Also, many, many thanks for blazing the S/C and Performance trail that has allowed so many of us MM owners to have increased pleasure. :D

[NAVCHAP]

Happy to provide the tire size info. Fronts are 245/45/18 and rears are 295/45/18 since the wheels are widened. My privilege to represent the MM net community, since this was a community project from the start. Couldn't have been done without y'all. -kjs-

[SouLRioT]

Great article, Awsome, this has got to be the best write up of any Marauder to-date. Do what you can to get a copy for yourself.

Kieth - Congrats. :2thumbs: One sweet looking ride. :D

[CBT]

Hey Commander! Nice article, went out and bought the mag last night, pretty decent. Not too often you see a car with base stickers in a hot rod magazine, much less one with a white cross. I was unaware Dennis was prior Navy, wonder what he did while he was in? Oh, and a certain Career Counselor said to say "HEY!" and that you were the coolest Chaplain ever. :up:

[NAVCHAP]

Dennis was avionics, and BTW, that Career Counselor is overdue for the next paygrade, having set the standard for how the job should be done! Thanks for passing the info, will PM with more. -kjs-

[Cobra25]

I got my copy. Nice pictures and write up.

[MarauderMark]

I got my copy. Nice pictures and write up.


I can't find that mag around here no where .Sure stinks living in the sticks.Have to wait till i get to philly..

[carfixer]

Bought the Mag yesterday, great article. Way to represent Keith! Some good press for our cars is rare and welcome!

[NAVCHAP]

Thanks for the kind words! My privilege to tell the story. Too bad we didn't meet Mercutio sooner, maybe he could have saved the MM. I really hope that Steve Babcock, Elena Ford, and Bill Ford see this coverage. Maybe they won't kill a project so fast next time, if there is a next time. -kjs-

:D

[mercutio]

I appreciate all the complements, but somehow I think saving the Marauder would have been a lot more than I could have pulled off. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to print a story about a great car owned by a great individual, and if there are more opportunities to offer press for the MM I'll do my best to make it happen.

[RoyLPita]

Great article, Awsome, this has got to be the best write up of any Marauder to-date. Do what you can to get a copy for yourself.

What he said.

[teamrope]

Found it! Great write up Padre, even plugged mm.net...TWICE! :)

[BK_GrandMarquis]

Got my copy today. Only one left. Cool reading. Nice to see a Panther on the stands for a change.

[cruzer]

Hey, Keith, WOW !!--what a great story and photos--Congratulations. I'll never forget the pleasure of looking at your exaust tips ( and breathing your exhaust funes) at 90mph for the few hundred miles from KC to Indy---great fun---looking forward to joining up again soon--stay safe and enjoy your now famous Marauder, Maury

What retail outlets carry "Super Rod"? I cannot find it.

If you want to check it out, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Wal-Mart and various supermarkets are probably your best bet. mercutio's first post.

[LimoMerc]

:help: I can't find it:alone:

Has anyone in MN. picked up a copy? I've tried all of the above mentioned with no luck.

[valkyrie]

:help: I can't find it:alone:

I can't seem to find it either. Been to the big book stores and the little guys.

[Sully008]

I can't seem to find it either. Been to the big book stores and the little guys.

Strange you can't find it in MN. I live in Canada and I found it at my local Chapters.

Navchap - Excellent article! It's nice to see an unappreciated and underrated car get noticed! :beer: Congrats!

[TheFlatlander]

Found it in Michigan, Really good article. Its a keeper.

[LimoMerc]

I GOT IT:D

In fact I got five. I found it at Mills Fleet Farm, I guess only farmers are into "Hot Rodding" up hear in the midwest:confused: . Whatever, so I'm keeping one in the back of the Limorauder so customers enjoy it and I'll keep one for show&tell and so that leaves 3 left over to share with those of you that cant seem to track one down. Now if you will excuse me I must now go and read it!!!

[mercutio]

If nothing else works you can call us at 866/515-5600 to order a copy or two. Ask for the March 05 Super Rod.

[Krytin]

I finnally got one @ the local Waldbaum's - VERY FINE article/pics!!

[MM03MOK]

Picked up a copy Saturday. Very nice! Thank you Will!!

[NAVCHAP]

Thanks Will and Debby at Buckaroo! My 50 copies came today. Also they are on the shelves in Fry's Electronics Stores.

If you can't find one, PM me and I'll take care of y'all, that's why I bought 50. I promised one to Marauder Mark, and a few to folks at work, but I still have at least 25 for MM net members who want one. -kjs-

[WantOneSoBad]

I'd ask for one but I'd rather let the people that own MM's have them. That is a very nice car though, where else can we see what mods you have done to the car?

What he said ^^^^ :2thumbs: Finally found it at Barnes & Noble and snatched the last two copies on the shelf. Excellent article and pics !!! :D The Padre must have the patience of a saint .... contract in April 2002 and didn't see the car until March 2004. Wow !! I had trouble waiting for the dealer prep :D

If you haven't seen this one ... it's time to get out to the bookstore.... destined to be part of the Marauder folklore. :up:

And, I am a little partial to the Blue MM as well. :rolleyes:

It's the best automotive article of it's type I've ever seen, and your input is evident. That you and Dennis pioneered the SC'd Marauders, is something for which we all owe a debt of gratitude, and I bet, few were aware of, me included.
We've made our reservations for the Dream Cruise in August, and I'll be in line to buy you a beer. Perhaps the article about Sunshine will be published in Mustang Monthly by then, and I can return the autographed copy favor.:2thumbs:

[jgc61sr2002]

Keith - Received my autographed copy in the mail today. :D Thank you very much. You make us all proud.

Many thanks.

:mad2: JEEEZ!!!!

I FINALLY find a store that has 'STREET ROD' on the shelves and they already have switched to the APRIL issue.....

Keith. Do you have any extra copies left from your bulk purchase?? (how much to get a copy, if you have one left?)
Thanks, Joe

[Gunslinger]

Keith, I looked for Super Rod all over Iraq and Kuwait. Couldn't find it there and Hawaii is behind the times in most everything so I didn't have any luck back here either. But, I'd love to get autographed copy if you have any left. If not, don't worry about it.


Congratulations on the article nonetheless. Thanks
