    I wouldn't bet on that
    1963 Marauder S-55, Super Marauder 406
    Only factory 406 powered Marauder, and earliest built Marauder documented to still exist.

    Perhaps. One would hope MM buyers/owners have some idea what they are getting into. Few on the FB MM boards are completely ignorant from what I can tell. The author of the youtube clip clearly had too much spare time on his hands.

    He says they are too expensive while I'm always surprised at how cheap you can still get decent examples in the States.

    I managed to watch the entire video. After he said "4 valve engine" I figured the guy was talking out of his azz. At the 5:20 mark of the video, there's a loud chime sound followed by him saying "Shut the f*** up" that overrides the original narration, so he can't even produce a decent video...lol.

    I like this comment!

    And while not everyone is fortunate financially, everyone can investigate what makes Marauder's cool! And I'd advocate that the interior (+ dead Peddal) is dang near perfect!

    This dude is an absolute joke. for the Cost of of cloning a Marauder you could have just bought one. The front and rear bumpers alone are almost 2k. Of course I do love how the Lincoln Mark 8 engine Gets called the Cobra Motor all the time. When it was introduced in 1993 the Mustang was still using a Push rod 302. The Mustang Didn't see the "Cobra" Engine until 1996. I get it, More People know about the Cobra than the often forgotten Mark 8. But he could at lest do a 30 second google search to find this info.

    And now He's building a Crown Vic Rally car. It's a Shame it has a Marauder Front bumper. For being on a rally car it will surely get destroyed. but what does he care. The bumper is only worth more than his P71.

    I would bet you it's an aftermarket reproduction bumper. This guy doesn't have two nickels to rub together if he's modding a p71 and talking **** about the car he can't afford

    No doubt it is a cheap aftermarket bumper. I hope he rally races it right into a tree so nobody has too see his bastard creation anymore.

    I never wish to see harm to anyone’s car.




    Now if he were to get ejected from said car and into said tree. That’s another discussion.
