Up for sale is my 2003 Mercury Marauder. The car has been tastefully modified. It has a fully rebuilt rear end with 4.10 gears and stronger 31 spline axles (installed by Curless). The transmission has been rebuilt with high performance parts and a new torque converter, built to handle around 500hp (I told the shop I was shooting for 450RWHP whenever I got around to installing the blower). Shifts hard and chirps second gear without breaking a sweat.
The original engine had seized up on the previous owner, so a newer, lower mileage (was told approximately 77,000 miles) marauder engine was purchased from and installed by Curless approximately 8,000 miles ago. New Magnaflow stainless mufflers and 2.5" tubing have been installed as well as a stainless 2.5" H-Pipe. Car sounds amazing and can really move.
Also has an SCT2 Tuner included, as well as a 91 octane or 93 octane tune from Mo's. Installed new nitto motivos in the rear around 8,000 miles ago, the front tires were basically new when I got the car.
The car has 150,000 miles on the body so it has some dents and dings as well as some paint chipping and some small rust spots (eww, i know). Most of the driveline is practically new so the car does not feel like it has high miles at all.
Recently a deer smacked into the driver side, cracking the winshield and breaking the plastic mount on the mirror. It also dinged the fender a little bit which caused an existing paint bubble to flake off and expose a bit of rust. I have not fixed it yet because the damage was pretty minimal and was lower than my insurance deductible.
$7500 OBO, and if you pay near my asking price I will throw in parts to start an eaton swap (blower, lower manifold, intercooler, throttle body).
I love this car and its a blast to drive, but I have too many vehicles right now and the toys go first.
If you want more pictures, or have any more questions, give me a shout. There are tons more hard parts that were replaced on this car, I can supply receipts if requested.
Car is located in Davenport, IA , which is about 2.5 hours Southwest of the Chicago area.
Thanks,
Sean
