Prospect, Ct.? What's up homie? I'm from Ansonia, just down the road a bit. I'll be back in a couple weeks to visit some friends...:)

[2003CTMarauder]

Actually I should clarify the marauder is my dads car, but he is computer challenged so I became a member to help him out and find out some info. The Mach1 is my ride!

I've been there 5 times in the last 10 months and lived there until I was 22. Where is it located?

I just bought a 2003, used with 40K miles but looks and runs like new. I was looking for a beater and drove the Marauder "just for fun". 20 minutes later I made an offer.

I don't know yet what the difference is between 300A and 300B or "decontented", but I'm having a blast.

Build date 08/02, VIN 2MEHM75V83X632267

Still stock, but looking for the best bang for the buck parts as I had to finance it.

Welcome aboard from another CT Marauder Owner:banana2:

[miqel]

Thanks for the useful info. It helps me feel better knowing the salesman and CarFax didn't lie to me. Can you also tell if there are any TSBs I should ask about?

//I broke the rear end loose today. My daughter just looked at me. I just grinned. This really is a special kind of drug.

:welcome: Welcome to you and your dad. We've got the same deal here. I have the Marauder and my son, John has the '04 Mach 1. His is the Dark Charcoal. Do you guys make the All Ford Nationals at Carlisle? BTW, anything you want to know, from fixing or adding car stuff, to good scotch, just hit the "Search" tab and help yourself. :D
