Ford apparently doesn't have a good track record producing Marauder convertible concept cars...![]()

When I wrote this someone, can't remember who, suggested I should write a book, so I did, and then let it sit on the computer for a couple of years. I recently had occasion to show it to someone who's been in the business for a long time. Short story is he liked it, but the realistic financial issues involved mean it's very unlikely it will ever get published. The demand just isn't there to bring it in at a reasonable cost and I'm not interested in publishing it myself on a small scale.
My loss is your gain. Seems a shame to waste it and there might be more people here than I can count on my hands who would actually want it, so I'm offering it here in pdf as a freebee (30 pages). Timing is good as this month is the 15 year anniversary of the 2003 Marauder's first sales.
I can't post it here for download because it's 11.6 MB, but I'll be happy to email it to you. Send me a PM.

Thanks, Kirk, that was awesome. I haven't read it in detail yet, but I skimmed it and I bet you have better info than Ford does!

I don't know If anyone is familiar with Pure Stock Drags, But I found this Video of a 58 Super Marauder Equipped Monterey vs a 70 SS 396 Chevelle. I read the Rules. If the car was capable of those numbers back in 58, there wasn't Much that could touch it unless it was a custom hot rod.

2003 Mercury Marauder- Stock with 223k miles.
2000 Crown Victoria P73. Deep Wedge Wood Blue.
SW longtube headers and high flow cats, magnaflow mufflers, 3.55 gears w/track lock, 70mm Aviator TB, PnP factory plenum, ADTR intake tube, 87 octaine tune by MO. Bilstein HD shocks, Mecto Rear control arms w/ watts link, Addco custom order 1.5 inch front sway bar (38mm), 1.25 inch rear bar 31.75mm (only 11 made).
I know the guy that built that '58. He also built a '64 427 Marauder that ran low 13s.
This '58 is artificially quick because I don't think you could actually get a manual trans with the Super Marauder and I don't think the gears he's using were available either. That being said, the '58 Super Marauder was still one of the quickest cars of it's day.
