Lookin sharp sir!

[TAKEDOWN]

... Well, it's about damn time Sanco! I'm s0 hapPy for you, you definitely deserve this car! I'm diggin' the tinted headlights, it gives her that sinister look! You're gonna need a name and theme song now! Wow, this makes you an official member of the Windy City Marauder crew. Looking at the engine decals was the prior owner a member of Motor City Marauders? Anyways, how she run?

[MOTOWN]

congrats bud!

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Sweet! Bout time huh Sanco..I'm sure you'll find it alot more delightful than the grand marquis or crown vic from before.

Let's start the LED/CCFL halos project soon.

lol thanks bro! shes running really good! owner used synthetic oil and had a car cover he threw in with the purchase and of course always put in 93 octane. so far so good but lets see how it goes in the long run, hopefully she will treat me well

[RacerX]

Those rims really make her look mean! Congrats! :beer:

[Ms. Denmark]

Nice!!!! Enjoy her!!!

[sanco]

Thanks all! I can't even begin to explain to you how excited I am :)

Washed it today so ill post up some more pics soon

[CBT]

Way to go, I loved the old car, too. But now you are a Marauder-er! :beer: Did you buy that from someone on this site? Looks bad-ass.

[TAKEDOWN]

^^^ I'm thinkin' possibly an MCM Member, because of the engine car show decals! ^^^

[F8LBITEva]

[sanco]

i asked the previous owner about being on any sites and he said he wasn't but he did take the car to a few shows and he did hear about windy city marauders. he also mentioned that he had a friend who crashed his...

[Gryphonzus]

Congrats On the new ride. Looks Good! I think I like the wheels too.

[Chi Stallion]

he also mentioned that he had a friend who crashed his...

First off Congrats on picking up this special MM. Having known the owner real well, all I can tell you is this Marauder was well taken care of and barely driven. It almost brought tears to my eyes when he told me he was selling it. I tried talking him out, but sometimes you gota do what you gota do.


Anyways im truely glad to know it came to somebody on the forums. Dan loved his MM alot and unfortunately he didnt get to enjoy it as much as he wanted too. First person he called was me when he told me he was selling it. Im really glad to see this MM come to somebody on the forums and I hope you enjoy every minute of it.. Congrats Brother!!:beer:

PS I put those MCM decals in after I crashed my first MM

[justbob]

Sanco, you just found a serious addiction.... congrats!

[Embassy]

Congrats and welcome to the family.

[sanco]

thanks all, and thank you bob for getting back to me that quick! i needed that confirmation :D

ah, now the puzzle is complete lol. Dan is a GREAT guy, we had a pretty long convo the few times we met up and i think he knows as well that the car is going to a great home! i figured that he HAD to have known someone on the forums, and now it makes sense. the car has too many things on it that only members know about such as the fender badges and the gods head steering wheel logo (btw good job nailing the horn wire lol :lol: )

so perfect, now i see the full picture :beer: you guys should still come out to a few windy city meets :D

[CBT]

Sucker looks good blacked out, I like that tire/rim combo more and more each time I look at it. :beer:

[TAKEDOWN]

Yup diggin' the headlights, she looks so mean! She's a TROUBLE MAKER... :coolman:

[LeoVampire]

A big :congrats: on the Marauder and thanks for all the awesome pics you posted of it and your Ford as well!

[Big Black Beast]

Lol, needs more black! So, how does it compare to the Vic? I had a couple b4 the Marauder, and my feeling is that the Marauder fixed all the things that annoyed me about the stock Crown Vic.

[sanco]

its great! i like it a lot, im happy with my purchase.

[Cobra25]

Congrats on your New Marauder. I will say the rims & tire's do look nice on it.

[Jesse]

I'm so jealous!

[TAKEDOWN]

Next mod badge-less grille, whatcha think?

[Mebot]

That is seriously one sick looking Marauder. I never thought I'd like the Marauder w/ black wheels. Always thought the chrome gave it that extra "pop", but damn that is sinister!

Congrats on your purchase. And thank you for giving me some ideas now!

BTW your crown vic pictures are pretty sweet too. Do you have an aftermarket front bumper? i like the dual foglights on each side. Has anyone done that with a Marauder? Also your dash cluster is nice too. I like the red backing. Where did you get it?

[sanco]

thanks guys

i dont know yet about that one, the chrome logo breaks up the black a little so ill keep her the way it is for now

thanks man, the previous owner should get credit for building it up like that, i just did the lazy work by buying it lol

as for the crown vic, thanks man, some serious work went into that. the front bumper was actually completely custom job i did by molding a cobra bumper to a vic bumper. the gauges were made by scott at customgaugefaces.com

That's cool I'll have to check out that site. You should be proud. I like it when people give their Marauders a little flair and make it their own. I love getting ideas from different members and seeing what they do. You truly have a class ride. I'm stealing some of the components from that car.

Also on your vic, is that a skull in the trunk?

[Mebot]

What did you do with your Vic? Did you sell it? Can i have it?

[Embassy]

So,..........when's the supercharger being installed? :D

[Bradley G]

Congrats Sanco, I knew that GMQ would not last :D Just sayin':P

[DOOM]

:congrats: on the new ride! :burnout:

[TAKEDOWN]

You can give me your headlights and side marker to break up the darkness, if you wish I can sacrifice a little to help a friend out! :rolleyes:




thanks guys

thanks guys and yea that is a skull on there fiberglassed into the sub box, that project was actually pretty easy compared to my other stuff


What did you do with your Vic? Did you sell it? Can i have it?

yea i sold it about a year ago, i kinda miss it because of all the work done to it but i love the MARAUDER :D


So,..........when's the supercharger being installed? :D

lol when i decide its time....for now i want to enjoy what i have :D


Congrats Sanco, I knew that GMQ would not last :D Just sayin':P

lol yea you know me lol, i think the entire chicago crew knew it was only a matter of time before i got it lol


You can give me your headlights and side marker to break up the darkness, if you wish I can sacrifice a little to help a friend out! :rolleyes:

lol maybe in the future if i decide to do it ill give you a call first, for now i think ill keep it :D
