FINALLY GOT 1 OF MY DREAM CARS!!! *MERCURY MARAUDER*

[@Shiz1703]

I own a Trackhawk and I have a 03’ Marauder being delivered today I can tell you that I’m more excited about this car than I was when I got my Trackhawk brand new in 2019! Definitely has been a dream car of mine since 2006! Congratulations bro

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Yessir! Thank you for that🙏🏾 That trackhawk is a BEAST! To say the least.. Your Marauder is gonna look super dope parked next to the Hawk forsure.. Congrats to you too man!💯 Welcome to the Marauder gang 😎

[@ProjectMercuryMarauder]

The one thing right off the bat to help you differentiate a Marauder from a Crown Vic is Is A work on getting that color matched rear factory Marauder spoiler put on it. But I don’t wanna be standing over here telling you how to do your car man that thing is fucking awesome and I’m sure what the couple of small problems that it has, you got it for a smoke’n deal! Since I was a little dude I’ve been infatuated with these things! I’ve had mine for 9 years and since ended up with a few more. I maintain 6 of these in the Portland, Oregon area and the only other thing you should look into doing getting a new set of timing chains and tensioners they really need to be done along with valve stem seals. Because as they leak oil into the combustion chambers the ends up increasing the chance of pinging and that can tear up the connecting rod bearings over a long period of time depending on how it’s driven…

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Thanks man.. for all the knowledge.. I been doing some research since buying the car and I definitely checked your channel out. The stock color matched spoiler is coming 100% .. later of course.. after I get everything else together. Thanks for the heads up on what will need to be fixed.. I'm sure you are 100% correct, seeing as you said you've maintained 6 of em. I'll be posting more about the car soon as I get her back from the shop. Thank you again for watching man and I'll definitely be tuned into your channel from time to time🤝🏻💯

Congratulations. I got mine in Feb. Soon folk will not be able to pay used car finance rates once they are 20 years old. Few months left in 23. I would say don't do anything to it but get it running and performance/handling. ADTR has everything.

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Thanks 🤝 and Congratulations to you too man! & I agree.. Few months left and they'll be 20 years old.. & I'm sure prices will keep going up as time goes by. Thanks for the advice. Also... I'm not familiar with ADTR .. tell me more please lol Edit: NVM just did my research. I know where to go now. Thank u sir. ✊🏾

[@garysmith8455]

Congrats, good to see this! I have the original promopack/DVD for this car which I had to order JUST prior to it's release back in the day! AND.....I certainly can identify on the 'dream car'. 25 years ago I bought a 1997 SHO. Only 19k made in the 4 year run. You really don't see them on the road anymore . Basically, only a handful of us that have them in original showroom shape = unrestored visually un-altered. This STILL has the OEM Z rated tires. Best wishes on getting your Marauder to 100% !👍 Keep us informed.

[@walterbright1396]

It looks great! Like it just left the showroom. I agonized over getting a base GS or Marauder back 21 years ago. I went the cheap route, the GS. Same color and garage kept its paint at least looks the same, near perfect all these years later. Often thought of getting a Marauder still but the thing I would really love to have are those rims on your car. They would make my GS look close enough to the real thing for me. Best of luck with your acquisition. Look forward to hearing more in the future.

Congrats on the Marauder! Great sleeper car careful not to get tickets 🦦

[@flagman8747]

Really nice car. I picked up a black 03 like 3 months ago from the original owners and love it. They ride and drive great.

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

That's dope man.. That's even more cool that you got it from the original owners!! I can't wait to get mine out on the road. Salute 🤝 & thanks for watching 💯

[@quinnn2570]

I had a silver one that was a 03 and I miss it like crazy man…I just did exhaust, tint and a nice set of 22s lowered a bit in the back

[@dassme1]

congrats 🎉 i got my marauder and i LOVE IT. it was sleeping for 9 years with 82k on it . all dealer service and all miles accounted for . was a dope boys car and he flew the coop and it sat . i did all fluids and she runnnnn gooooooddd🤤🤤🤤 . i got the crazy deal on it too . scrap price 😂😂😂 . i guess thats what hapens when you let the family in shambles to clean up the mess , they just wanted the parking spot back 💯💯💯🤷

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Damn man, hell of a story to go with a dope ass car. I like it! It's always interesting how cars come with a story and some history behind them. I think only 2 type of people owned these cars back in the day, dope boys and older grandpa's lol 😂💯 Thanks for sharing your story man and thanks for watching 🤝💯

[@mamacota100]

Really nice car .. congrats.

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Thanks 🫡 and that's what's up man! Don't matter how long it took at least you got one ✊🏾💪🏾 dream come true 💯 lol

[@DU-Dew-jr]

REALLY THO!!

[@LITTLE1994]

Awesome job. Don't waste it.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

I have a 2004 DTR Marauder. I love this car and will never sell it especially after I swapped the engine for a 850 hp 5.8 from a 2014 GT-500 Super Snake.

[@sabrom]

Looks good family i heard you say don't insult it being a Crown Vic..lol well it is the same platform just diffrent motors & interiors same Lincoln Ford, Mercury division thats all those motors have a few problems cam issues timing chain issues so be aware how many miles??

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Thanks fam✊🏾 And yeah I understand it's the same platform.. Different engine different interiors etc.. I get that .. I was basically just talking my shit lol .. it's got 163K so I'm kinda expecting to have at least 1 if not all of those issues you named... The car wasn't maintained very well, mechanically speaking. But they are some cool ass cars none the less. Thanks for watching man 🤝💯

[@kevford217]

Tons of them for sale in cali cheap mostly old people have them low miles and selling cheap

[@quinnn2570]

Man I need to find one out in that area then…

I have a 2004 Marauder. I get a big kick when I open the hood. People expect to see a 302 HP 4 cam.

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Nice... Im sure it would be a mind F if you popped the hood and there's no 4.6 lol ... what'd you replace it with?

Thanks alot my guy! I appreciate that ✊🏾And yeah that silver version is 1 of my favorites besides the black forsure.. #Maruadergang 💯🫱🏿‍🫲🏽 much love.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

I hope that you had your transmission upgraded to 2004 specs. We had a stronger transmission from the go.

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Yup the car is an 04... I know the 04s had beefier transmissions from what I've read.. Just hoping I can get her running good again 💯

[@t.l.robinson2162]

@@MEECHinaDURANGO make sure that your throttle linkage cable is properly adjusted.

Nice just needs a spoiler and tint

[@MEECHinaDURANGO]

Absolutely gotta tint it up.... Right away lol .. I wish it came with the spoiler tho, I really don't wanna drill holes 🤷🏾‍♂️idk
