We have 3 other confirmed smashed blues? Sigh....I bet there will be less than 150 in another 2 years.....

[Sully008]

Ugh. That hurts just looking at those. :alone: :shake:

[Fourth Horseman]

I don't feel well. :depress:

[hitchhiker]

Terrible Thing.

[FastMerc]

Ouch if you cant handle the toys dont buy them,But I know that isnt always the case.You always have to watch out for the other idiot also. The numbers are dwindling...

[Festus]

:bigcry: And then there were 324 :bigcry:

I sense a great disturbance in the Force.

[chucky]

ouch! does anyone have pics of the MM some guy drove into the river in philly a couple months back. people told me the news had a shot of the car floating with him siting on it.

[Petrograde]

holy crap,.. Where did you get those Wes?

[wchain]

holy crap,.. Where did you get those Wes?
An Insurance Clearinghouse, I searched for Salvage MMs and came up with those.

[MarkVI351]

someone took the airboxs anf mafs.... im going to be twisting and turning in my sleep tonight. there was an accident like a year ago that i went to. it was a black marauder and it was really nice, had all the bells and whistles. a dodge ram truck hit the front, i guess it cut it off, and sent the marauder into a fire hydrant, spun around and the rear end into a utiliy pole. it wasnt a great day for me. made me sick.
where at did you take them pics at? a junkyard?

.........we all agree (least I do) with your reporting stats===cause thats all I think any of us have heard of---but with only 11k MM made (all colors)----we could be in the 4 digit numbers now with wrecks and the time spent since their debut..WOW--we're getting to be more extinct...humm...that to me means more valuable---...and after upgrading mine to ....well ...don't know as yet what it's worth--that is a relative term--it don't matter--to me it means all of ours are a bit more valuable than we think....ya see--the chevy SS' s (94-96) were in the 60 -70K made or more- (up for corrections here)--us ....well ...do you think they are down to 4 digits yet?..I seem to see alot
of them still today--so I say no--I believe they are more of them still today than us..( remenber --we are only 11K to start with)--

OK --enuff- said- hate to see the Mighty MM go down a shown--I saw mine--thats was bad enuff------after the holidays--..my third new ride --same car----can't wait---thanks for enlighting us though on these pics----Tom

[Blackened300a]

I cant confirm it, But a Totalled Blue Marauder was seen in a savage lot by my co-worker up in Orange County NY. He owns a 04 MM after taking a Ride in my 03. He Called me to see If I wanted to go 50/50 on the cost and use it for parts for our cars. However This was on a Saturday he saw it, By Monday it was gone. Im going by word of mouth, I havent seen it with my own eyes, But I've Known my Co-worker for over 5 yrs and hes always been honest about everything.

[Petrograde]

.......324

[SergntMac]

The blue will take some work, but it has promise. The black is not a car anymore. Only salvage I could imagine, was maybe a set of lug nuts.

[Blackened300a]

I agree. The Blue can be brought back from the dead. however the Black one is horrible to look at. I have never seen a car look like that before. I have to think a Train or a Semi wiped that one out. Either that or he wiped out at 130mph and bounced off every tree for a 1/2 mile before it exploded.

[torinodan]

do you have a link for the Blue one?

[STLR FN]

Yeah the DPB is salvageable, the black..... maybe the wheels if they aren't too crispy. Otherwise I think I hear FLS in the background

[metroplex]

Probably destroyed in insurance scams because the owner didn't like the idea of spending $30k for a car that isn't even faster than some of the $20k-$30k imports that hold their resale values. :P

[Rider90]

I find the picture of the blue Marauder, where they show the door jambs, to be most interesting. These cars are no longer hand-sprayed, see what I mean?

First off, I didn't spend $30,000 for my car. Also, I have no problem putting imports to shame. I guess this is the price you pay for a 4V DOHC engine, not a two valver.

I thought #326 was a black one.

SergntMac's #61 post "per the VA State Police" >>>> Here (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18638&page=5&pp=15&highlight=Richmond) <<<<<< says that it was a Blue MM. Kinda difficult to tell after the fire.

[RoyLPita]

Thanx for bringing me up to speed.

Oh That makes sense. Do you think that a Import piece of crap will be worth anything in 15yrs compared to a Limited run Marauder?? I think Not...

Like I don't have enough unfinished projects around the garage, but I sure wouldn't mind trying to put the blue one back together. Sling the body off and run a new frame under it..piece of cake. So if anyone has any of the contact info to try and purchase any of these at a resonable price and without having to be a licensed salvage yard, let us all know...

Do those air-bags look funny? They don't look like they deployed, but they are hanging out!!

They are deployed and nicely re-packed. Go figure.
