[Chevyguy]

Frarauder??

 

[Captain Dynball]

Frarauder??

No no no...It's Maraudulant!

 

[ctrlraven]

Guess someone decided to put a new gauge cluster....

 

[youngrauderlvr]

59,XXX ON DASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not under the hood!!! lol

 

[RacerX]

Kinda suprising because if everything is solid, including a good running engine, $8,400 @ 186k isn't bad. He should have been honest.

 

[clintons4]

That guy just bought the cluster on ebay from a Texas seller. Do a search for completed listings on ebay for marauder cluster. Dude is a liar. The mileage was nearly identical to the one that just sold buy it now for 180 bucks.

 

[justbob]

This is incredible...

 

[Billy]

I would think that a 200k marauder would look a lot different than a 60k marauder, but that's just my opinion.

 

[sanco]

there is already a thread about this guy on the site already, its titled something like just a little heads up

yea hes attempting to sell it several times now through cl

 

[mike P71]

The tip off to me was when he said 59,000 on "the dash" rather than "on th car"

Not the guy that bought MM Cluster on Ebay

The guy that bought the cluster on Ebay is from Nor-Cal and is putting in nice black CVPI. He has started a thread about buying it and was asking info on matching up the wiring.

Find me a person that paid that much for one

Not me that's for sure, I probably wouldn't consider it with 186Kmi even if the first two numbers in the price were reversed...
