Hey guys, my name is Chris. I'm 24, just got out of school landed my first real full time job w/ a great company. I got a degree in Automotive tech Management and now I'm back at home in St. Louis. Still drivning around in my 88 Tbird w/ a rebuilt 306 i did in school.

Always loved Marauders for their look and power. Had a test drive set up yesterday on a 03 w/ 45k on it w/ a local dealer. I called them up when i got off work to confirm the test drive and if it was in good shape I would have bought it on the spot. When i called to confirm, the guy who set the test drive up w/ me informed me it had just been sold :mad2:.

That put me in a crappy mood for the rest of the night needless to say, and it was the only one i can find w/ decent miles on it any where close to where i live.

So now the new search begins....

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the site.

BTW, is your 88 T-Bird a Sport? I had one of those way back when.

Good luck....I remember driving up to go meet the owner in my 2000 GT and the Car was sitting out there with that Sinister look I knew I was sold LOL. I know what your going through I almost settled for a 2004 Ford Crown Vic LX Sport Blacked out......I would have regretted that one. Like others have said be patient you will find one.

Anything about the 2003/2004 Marauder can be found here and has been discussed at least twice by now.

Except the difference between a 300a and 300b. ;)

Welcome to the site. I hope you will find what you are looking for. I found mine at Carmax. They will ship it if you buy one through them. I love those 80's T-Birds. I used to have a 1986 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe 5sp. Oh how I miss that car. Good luck with your search for a Marauder. I love mine as do so many others here.

Welcome to the site, reading everyone's reply I'm suprised to see so many T-bird owners. My first car was the '87 turbo coupe.

That is what I did, I looked here for a while and found the exact car that I was looking for. It was less than I was prepared to spend as well.

I purchased my Marauder from an existing MM.net member.

Hopefully you can join us in Indy next month for Marauderville 7.

I got rid of a '94 Thunderbird LX when I picked up the Marauder. :D

Very nice. I'm looking at a 1988 Cougar XR7 to tinker with next.

I bought mine on ebay about a year and a half ago. It was a great buy. Found with 38k on the clock. I found this but just not sure about the wheels. They look good but I like the polished personally. Looks like it's worth checking in to. Good luck and welcome!
