View Full Version : Marauder Certificate of Authenticity
Canadasvt
08-08-2008, 07:31 AM
I just received my latest issue of SVT Enthusiast magazine. Inside they mention www.fordperformancegroup.com (http://www.fordperformancegroup.com) that offers a certificate of authenticity for SVT products (already have one for my '02 Focus SVT). They mention that soon there will be a package for '03-'04 Marauders. It is scheduled for availability sometime late September and it will also include all production #'s of all colours and options, VIN decoder, and such. I suggest everyone that is interested to call them at 1-800-FORD-788 and let them know you want all the info on your Marauder. The more of us that do this may bring it out faster. The price will be around $40-45. BTW I get a 15% discount through my SVTOA membership.

Unreal, but true. I just called Ford Performance Group and Yes it is true, FPG will be offering SVT Certificates of Authenticity for 2003-04 Marauder - UNREAL. :banana2: They will be ready by the end of September. BUT, it would really help for everyone to call and support the effort. See linky.
http://www.fordperformancegroup.com/home/pdf/certificates.pdf
CALL the number on the linky and hit option #1.
This is just unreal and we need to thank FORD. :beer:

Thanks for posting up this good news. :beer:
I just got off the phone with them. The gentleman I talked to said that Marauder owners, like Bullitt and Mach1 owners tend to appreciate these certifcates more than Cobra owners who tend to just go out and buy the biggest and fastest Mustang. We tend to recognize the uniqueness of our vehicles.
He also confirmed the approximate release date and price.
Looking forward to obtaining one and having it framed to also be displayed at car shows.

BTW good thing they'll have them for S9-95 Mustangs too, with all the Geo Metro Mustang clones running around you wanna be sure your Mustang is the real deal!
(Disclaimer: I have nothing against SN-95 Mustangs but I wouldn't exactly call them limited produciton)

(Disclaimer: I have nothing against SN-95 Mustangs but I wouldn't exactly call them limited produciton)Just got off the phone w/Jason @SVT Performance, it will NOT say SVT but have a Mercury Marauder with the Gods Head logo with Edsel Fords Signature. They are in the midsts of putting a VIN matrix together to figure out build dates, and breakdowns of colors and options with production numbers. Nice to see this happening. Calls should be made in mid September to 1800-ford-svt as stated above.

The Marauder was added because a Marauder owner, who is banned from this site, took it upon himself to work for 2 years with the powers that be to get the Marauder included. You can thank him also....... :beer:
Although he can't post on this site you can post at www.motorcitymarauder.com and thank him.

Sorry for the absolute noob questions I'm going to ask, but I have to ask. I'd like to have this certificate, but who are these guys? (Seriously.... I really don't know!!) Is this certificate from an actual division of Ford motor company? Also, do you get a reproduction of the Ford window sticker with it too?

Yes it is from Ford. As far as your window sticker, you need to have the orginial one. They may have a repo version, but I have no info on that. Give them a call.

They should be ready for doing this by September. He took all of my info name, address, e-mail blah blah blah.
He said e-mails will go out to people first giving them a preview of what it will all look like and when you can start ordering them.
He asked me how I found out about them and I said from here and he said they did anounce them a little earlier than they should have originaly and appologized for it.
But he mentioned he has seen what they are intending for the certificate work and so far it looks awsome in his opinion.
No mention of price yet.
He said only a few people have called to show interest but they plan on doing them anyways so thanks FORD for remembering us and our cars.
This is the main site address: http://www.fordperformancegroup.com/home/
This is the picture they have for the certificate work: http://www.fordperformancegroup.com/home/pdf/certificates.pdf
1-800-367-3788 is the number to call press 1 when the options are said in the recording. Will then talk to a rep about them.
P.S. as you can see the build numbers will be included in the certificate.

They are still in the process of chasing out the "ghost cars" as he called them. the want to make sure that the numbers they have mess with what is really out there. he also said the major delay is becasue they have to weed out the GM's which were built the same time as the MM's. They figure sometime early October we should get a mass e-mail, assuming you called in your information, letting us know that we can order the certificates.:banana:

Makes sense-Ford has the data-why not make some extra money from it?
The price will be around $40-45. BTW I get a 15% discount through my SVTOA membership.
They want me to pay for a certificate that cost 40-45 dollar. Sorry I will print my own and save the funds. Do you know that's about equal to 9 shares of Ford stock.

It seems that the finalization of the certificate design,
as well as working out the technical details of
each and every Marauder is going to take longer
than originally anticipated.
I was told, that at the earliest, January 2009 should be the point
at which Marauders owners can start placing orders for their
Certificates of Authenticity and expect that the certificates will have
** accurate ** information printed on them.

Second, I have been emailed and pmed about something posted on mm.net about the FPG's counts being off. Trust me, the FPG is correct on their production numbers. I know this for a FACT since I have been working with them in assisting with the production data pull for the Marauders. As you know we had to work out the Canadian Marauders as I posted up here over a month ago. The numbers posted on FPG are exactly correct, and reflect excluding pre-production, prototypes, and other non-saleable units that were crushed and never made it to the market. I will of course pass on any information for verification. So if anyone has a correction, question, or suggestions for the Marauder section on the Ford Performance Group, you will need to forward them to me, via email or PM.

From Motor City Marauders:
"Here is the latest on the Certificates....
Ford has cut staffing as much as possible and it has negatively impacted the certificate program. It has come to a one man operation and he has a LOT on his plate. This has slowed things down, but rest assured that it is still happening. We are probably looking at mid December at the earliest, and mid January at the latest. Right now they are assessing the data pulled from Ford on the production numbers. It takes time and someone to do it. Mike, Steve, and myself will get the first production certificates to review and check to see if the data and information is right. When that happens, we will let you know.
Just a side note, there is NO need to keep calling the Ford Performance hotline for updates. They will not have better info than I have. I am getting my info from the guy running the FPG directly, so no need to keep calling them.
Stay tuned!"

FWIW,
When I called FPG on Nov. 7th, I was told to call back in Jan. '09. The person would NOT take any info -- was quite pleasant, but said not before Jan. Figure $40--$45 per Certif. I will let the MCMMers do thier thing and we here will get the benefit of their work --eventually. I appreciate what they are doing and will be PATIENTLY waiting.

I haven't heard a peep regarding if these are ready yet. No one from Ford Racing has a definitive answer either. Anyone else heard anything? It seems this has gone quiet for now?

I spoke to Ford in early December, at that time Ileft them eMail contact information. They stated at that time it would more than likely be February before they got to the Marauders. They are committed to doing this it just takes time. I was promised an eMail when they start working on the MM certs..
Just my two cents worth.

Just called the number. The Ford guy was very nice but said "nothing yet...call back sometime in late summer, and we might have something by then."

With all the turmoil going on at Ford, I'd just be happy they didn't drop this.

I am deleting all of the sample certificates. The design of the certificates to be produced has changed and we don't need Ford, with Edsel's signature, taking any action against any of us in using such images without Ford's approval.
Let's not jeopardize this great project. Reproducing the artwork for your own purposes may do just that. The last thing you want to do is to tell Ford you're tired of waiting and will make one on your own. We're very lucky that they're even considering this, especially for a car 5 years out of production.

Do you really think they're even going to come through with this? :banghead:

This should have been done when it was promised.
IT is a project that has been put on a lower priority
because of their denial of the recession, just like everyone else.
And who has to suffer for it ? We do...
It is just another empty promise.
Forget the certificates...
SVT owners should be glad they can still get a certificate.
That program may get canned as well.

Marauder Certificates are.....
The Marauder Certificates will be available mid to late June, and members should have them in July. I spoke with John from FPG today. There was another issue that I was unaware of that was delaying the release. I knew they had cut his staff, causing a delay, however there was something else going on as well. Apparently the Marauder Certificate was tied in with the Mustang Bullitt Certificate, both were to be released at the same time, therefore if one got hung up, so did the other. In our case, the Bullitt Certificate was hung up by Warner Brothers Legal, who dragged their feet for no good reason in aproving the use of the name. So the combination of those two problems is what caused the delay. Warner Brothers ok'd the Bullitt Certificate, and the production information has been crunched and is being finalized. John said he will know better by next week about the actual release date for our Certs. This is great news, for those that thought this wouldn't happen, I am pleased to prove you wrong! FPG has put considerable time and effort into this program, and the official word from FPG is "it is a done deal, the Certificates will be definitely out before Woodward". Sounds good to me!
