Scratch Another Dark Blue Pearl Marauder

[vegasmarauder]

Found in listing for a salvage auction in Michigan. VIN# 2MEHM75Vx3X690316 DBP/Charcoal interior. Says theft recovery. If anyone has more info on it or if it is close to your VIN, chime in. And hand me a tissue to wipe my tears.

Sucks, because I could have used this body shell to fix another DBP that could have been fixed but I passed on it a few months ago...

What a shame

Thats terrible do they not know what they have letting it sit outside like that with the weather getting to it?

[Bigdogjim]

Picked clean, maybe a back bumper worth some money?

[ajdereicup]

Floor shifter'd be worth some money too along with the seats depending on the condition

And that is one of the MANY reasons mine is in a garage at night or in a secure lot at work. When out in the city, we park next to cameras and places where the car is visible to everyone!

What a shame. :( Early April 2003 build. A close but slightly younger relative of Mark Urhman's Blue MM (sold to a guy in Ohio in March 2008).

Any idea where it at? I am in Michigan...may worth a trip over there??? Can you get me the name of the yard?

[vegasmarauder]

Listing only gives the state. It's a scrap title so only licensed auto wreckers and certain dealers can be the only bidders. Closed to the public. Will prob end up in a wrecking yard close by as transportation costs can be high for a non-rolling shell.

What is interesting is that they left the seats. steering wheel and console..unique MM parts. If it was stolen to convert a CV/GM they missed the boat. The sheet metal removed is all interchangable with CV/GM so they could have taken anything. Watch Craigslist in Michigan for the engine/trans to show up if it was taken by backyard thieves....

Damn its a dark interior too...

Damn its a dark interior too...

Yeah 1 of 117, it could be saved if someone was ambitious, but I get the feeling it's a goner.

[shodude]

sad to see but makes mine even more rare. mine is also one of 117. would love to have that rear bumper

[vegasmarauder]

I think the "Scrap" title means it can never be re-titled, has to be dismantled. Usually a Salvage title can be rebuilt. And some of the cars sold with salvage titles are far worse.

It is a good frame and shell to fix another wrecked MM. Can't save them all...

DAM shame :( to see it almost looks purple/blue you think it was a re-paint? At this rate the blues will only be seen at car shows with members owning them here for safe keeping .

[vegasmarauder]

I was hoping the same thing but the blue over spray in the trunk and firewall look just like the factory. Most shops won't go that far on a re-paint.
