The godshead emblem is/was not exclusive to the Marauder. Look up Mercurys from the '60s and you'll see the godshead on them.

IMHO, it looks good.

Agreed. The logo is a Mercury logo and belongs on any car representing the long history of Mercury. Now, if I saw this logo on a Milan or a Mariner, it might look a little funny, but it would likely be a conversation starter with the owner.

Looks good bud... the godshead is the god mercury... not the god marauder! If he wants to put it on his MERCURY he can!

The "SVTMERC" license plate is a stretch, but I'll allow the godshead emblem!

This young man is driving a Marquis or 'Maruader Jr.' and is spending his cash going to school. WTF is wrong with you guys?!

I like the emblem. The plate tells me what you wanna be when you get there. All the best on your journey!!!

Hey, I am for the emblem and tricking out a MGM! I like your view on the license plate... I am glad he shares our appreciation of the Mercury name! It is cool that he is doing it his own way too instead of trying to make a marauder replica!

Thanks, for the compliments.

To any who don't like it, too bad!!!!

As magindat (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/member.php?u=3548) stated, I am going to school right now at WyoTech, so money is very tight. When I bought my car, it cost me 12,500 and the marauder sitting right next to it was over 22,000 and there was no way I could afford an extra 10,000 on a car with the $9.00/hr I was making. So I decided to make the car my own way and make it seem as if it was a precursor to the Marauder. Thats why i used 18" Bullitts on it with SVT center caps, the spoiler, and other touches. So I am happy with the car as it is, and as I can afford it I keep adding to it. And the icing on the cake for me was at Woodward Dream Cruise last year I met Steve Babcock, and he asked me about my car, and told me that it was a great interpretation, and that he wouldn't imagine that any other way.

And like it was stated above the god's head badge IS the Greek god Mercury, not the Mercury god "MARAUDER", so if you don't like it, come here and take it off my car!!!

Can you sell me two? Can it be installed on the Marauder grille? I wanna know how you made it.

Egon Spengler
04-22-2009, 12:55 PM
so if you don't like it, come here and take it off my car!!!

Just did it! Go look at your trunk lid! GONE! I didn't steal it because it doesn't belong on your car... I did it because I want it for mine! so THANKS!

Just kidding! Where can I get these emblems?

Egon Spengler
04-22-2009, 12:56 PM
by emblems I mean for trunk lid, grille, and steering wheel

Jason I'll be at WyoTech tomorrow night to take back my badge. :D

Looks good Jason. I think you've done a great job on your Merc. Some are just hatin for what you have done.

For those that don't know the Godheads badge is just a Marauder center cap with the backing removed. I was going to use it on my decklid but decided to shave the emblem off of mine and gave the badge to Jason and he's put it to good use.

Yeah, It's just the god's head from the MM center cap, then I used touch-up paint on the inside, then clear coat touch-up on it. A little 3M tape on the back and pasted on top of the OEM emblem.

SVT_MERC
04-22-2009, 06:26 PM
And for you haters out there, either go by the ( if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all), or get your self a REAL MARAUDER emblem.
A Marauder, by definition, is a pirate, so why don't you take those Mercury center caps off your cars and put little pictures of pirates on your wheels.

My insurance company said i had one weird digit in my vin when i first got her, after six months and a few calls to FOMOCO they were able to start calling it a MARAUDER .

[quote=offroadkarter;749511]Your an idiot, thats the god MERCURYnot the god "marauder" . . . quote]
The '60s Mercurys had the 'mercury god head' on the cars. The '68 Montego had the god heads on the wheel cover centers. My '68 cougar has the god head on its nose emblem.

I like the god head emblem better then the waterfall emblem used today. Come to think of it, I like the scripted Mercury better and the Big M better too. Good that they put in on the wheel centers again.

Wow... looks like I ruffled a few feathers.

IMO.... it is just as bad as V6 Mustangs riding around with Cobra badges. I don't care if the V6 Mustang was modified enough to walk all over a Cobra.... it isn't a Cobra so the badge is just stupid.

That badge came on Mercurys, fine... but you all are fooling yourselves if you don't associate THAT badge with 03-04 Marauders. THAT badge didn't come on THAT car and IMO it doesn't belong there. Now someone PLEASE tell me that my OPINION is wrong again.... PLEASE!

Of course there are those that say the cobra is just a glorified Mustang and Ford had no business using a badge meant to copy an AC Shelby Cobra so you see there is plenty of this to go around.:)

I was accused of that believe it or not, by the owner of a black MM. He also told me the bra was not an authorized Ford product, bet me I didn't have the jacket (which I did) then told me "Well I bought the first Marauder sold in Virginia!" Great, helloutta my face idiot.

We're not talking about Silver birches though. It would be like me putting a license plate that said 03MustCobra on a base model Focus. I mean you can do what you want but on a Marauder board... expect to take some crap for it.

VicsEvilBrother, I'm sorry you don't like evewhat I've done to my car, but you know what, almost ry day I get compliments from people on how much they like my car because it is different from any other panther out there and how it looks like something that came from the factory that way. So you know what you loose the argument in my book.............
Also I don't hear you bitching about all of the Marauders out there who have:
cobra badges on the fender,
4.6L Badges,
checkered flag badges,
S-55 badges,
or the S-55 treatment.

No Marauder was sold with any of this on the car, but apparently that is ok with you that they ruin a perfectly good Marauder with other emblems and such that was never there..........sorry, you lose this argument. :puke:
