I am happy to announce that yesterday I picked-up the marauder after almost 8 months of sitting:help:

It started back late March with was thought to be a bad thermostat and when I picked the car up it did not go 10 miles before it shot up to 250* :eek:
Long story short my "buddy" of 15years and his shop threw up their hand and said well you blew a head gasket and walked away:shake:. Yeah I now real great group of "friends"

Being that I was not cleared to drive any more than 5-10 miles a day at that time I had the car towed to someone I know could get to the bottom of the issue! This person was just busy, way too busy and I did know this going in. Next thing I knew the spring turned into summer and summer into fall:confused:. I did find a garage and now the car is whole, detailed, and running better than ever!! Problem was a blocked radiator:rolleyes:

Been a long 8 months. I am so glad it had a happy ending:) :up:

Glad to see both that the car is up and around, and that you aren't in any further danger of taking a dirt nap.

Good job Jim , I know you are enjoying driving it!
It was two years in October that Trilogy#93 grenaded at Union Grove Dragaway. With any luck I should have it back on the road this year.
