2003 Mercury Marauder
Silver Birch with Black interior Fully loaded minus sunroof(they look out of place on a car this big and are prone to leaking) The car has the following Mods: 4.10 gears Circle D Triple Disc 11” 2600 rpm stall torque converter Built Transmission installed at 64K Supercharger from a 03 Cobra and supporting mods installed at 64K After Market Tune for the Engine management and transmission shift schedule Engine- The engine has never given me any issues. Never burned any oil between changes(3000 mile mobile one for me). No smoke on cold start. I recently replaced the timing chain tensioners and guides and the inside of the motor was very clean. Compression numbers are 217 218 222 218 220 210 225 218 New Ford Water Pump, Changed the Oil and coolant and installed new Spark plugs. Band new motorcraft 850 cold cranking amp battery Transmission- It’s a 4R75W in a 4R70W case. It has extra clutches, reworked valve body, HD overdrive bands and the Forced Tail Shaft Lube Mod. It currently has about 15k miles on it and I just changed the fluid. This transmission has performed awesome. The shifts are quick and firm at low throttle setting but not to harsh. The more aggressive you get with the throttle the more firm the shifts get. It has a aftermarket 24,000 gvw transmission cooler installed with a 180 degree thermostat. The OD to 3rd Downshift. In order to install the extra clutches the “Wave Plate” was removed The only negative to this is when the transmission downshifts from OD to 3Rd you can feel it. Its not bad or scary its just noticeable. On must automatics you can feel the up shifts but as you coast to a stop you can’t feel any of the downshifts. With the “Wave Plate” removed you feel the downshift from OD to 3rd. Torque Converter- 11” Triple Disc Circle D Torque Converter with the new transmission. Based on Chris at Circle D’s recommendation I got a slightly lower then stock stall speed. I loved the way it drives. Rear Differential- New Ford Racing 4.10 gears with all new inner bearings and carbon fiber clutches at around 60K. For my type of driving I actually got slightly better gas mileage Blower- The blower is a used 03 Cobra factory eaton. Was told it had about 50k on it. I replaced the oil and coupler when I installed it. No issues. Ford GT fuel Pump with BAP.39# from a Cobra90m MAF from a Lighting.LFP Dual Pass Lighting IntercoolerStock cobra IAT2 sensor and location.I kept the EGR and it passes emissions testing with no issues. The Car put down 374RWHP and 384 ft-lbs. Air Fuel ratio is 10.2-1 at WOT at 13 degrees of timing. It starts pulling timing at 100 degrees IAT. Most would call that a very conservative. It runs and drives GREAT!!! Driveshaft- While the car was down during the Eaton Swap the Driveshaft balanced and replaced the U-Joints Interior-Is in good shape. Org floor mats are a little worn. I’ve treated the leather twice a year. No boost gauge but I replaced the factory gauges with an AEM Air fuel and an Aeroforce gauges. The tires are Nitto Motivo with less the 2000 miles on them. After the tires were installed I had it aligned The Front Brake Pads are new and the rotors were just turned. A/C was recharged last year and blows cold. Body- The Paint is in above average condition. No Fading. No Rust. All original silver paint. There is a dent on the driver side fender(pictured) that I will get fixed at a paintless dent repair shop before the auction ends The right front wheel has some significant curb rash. The other 3 look good. The windshield has 2 small chips that have been treated to prevent spreading. Also this car has the factory air ride suspension and works perfectly. The exhaust is completely stock and is super quiet. I didn't want anything loud. The car is a sleeper. The car has 5% limo tint all the way around and 35% on the entire front windshield. Has an autopage alarm with two pats keys. I have been a 100% positive feedback member since 2002 and I refuse to sell junk. This car is in tip top shape for it's age and will put a smile on anyone's face. Thanks for looking. |

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
