Was that the concept Marauder?

Your up early, physically and mentally. Yes it's the 02 concept Marauder convertible.

The car still exists, at least a year ago, somewhere.

If Ford fabbed that up, what blower setup did they use? What kind of numbers did it make? -and- If the factory did this why wasn't it offered as a kit from FRP? On second look, is that even the same engine we have?

looks like a 2V 4.6 to me, but i don't know much about anything so i could be wrong :confused:

The concept/prototype MM did use a 2V 4.6 with the blower you see in pat's pic. It was later replaced with our current 4V 4.6 prior to production. I have seen the numbers but can't remember them specifically but I believe the concept engine produced similiar hp numbers but with higher low-end torque.

69marquis_conv is correct.

The numbers were 335HP and 355TQ...

I didnt know the concept convertible was blown :eek:

I wonder if it is going to be forsale when the dealer who has it goes broke?

It was sold by FMC several years ago with the stipulation never to be streeted.
Charity auction I think

The SOHC motor was a dead giveaway.
