2004 Mercury Marauder Base Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Augusta, Kansas, United States
2004 Mercury Marauder Trilogy Motorsports Supercharged. Here's your chance to own a fine example of a modern muscle car! A rare model to begin with, only sold for 2003-04 with around 2500 Marauders made in 2004. Then add the Trilogy Motorsports supercharger which only 250 were made. This car is kit # 166. The Mercury Marauder starts basically as a Police Interceptor undercarriage with the heavy duty brakes, suspension, transmission, and fluid coolers. Then add the 4V 4.6 liter Mustang engine from the Mach 1 Mustangs of the same year. Wrap all of that in a gorgeous black Mercury body and Voila! Modern Muscle at its finest. This one has been stored in a heated garage and taken out on weekend cruises and the occasional roadtrip. With less than 50,000 miles, that averages to 5,000 miles a year. Hardly high usage. This example has been adult owned and driven by a meticulous aircraft mechanic. Regular service and care was completed as needed. The interior is free of any major defects with no tears in the leather. Every switch functions as it should. There is an aftermarket Stereo unit with a Tom Tom GPS unit installed. The stock stereo will be included. Estimated around 450 horsepower to the rear wheels. Not super fast off of the line, but 40 to ??? acceleration is unbelievable. Looks so much like a police vehicle, it isn't uncommon to be mistaken for one. Fly under the radar. Will bring its new owner many years of hot rod enjoyment.
There are a few minor defects. You can refer to the pictures for a visual representation. There is a minor dent in the hood. Can be pushed out by a qualified dent removal shop. There are a couple of minor scratches on the paint with the worst on the right front fender. The right front wheel has slight curb rash. The front bumper cover has some paint "spiderwebbing" from a 10mph brush with a deer. The deer walked away! This incident did crack the front grill, so it was replaced. These are small issues that are hardly noticeable. The car looks great from 5 feet and is in great shape for being 10 yrs old. The tires are a little over 50% tread right now, but a full price offer will secure 4 new tires. Also comes with the special Mercury Marauder Black leather jacket in XL. No warranties are expressed or implied. Buyer to arrange and pay for shipping if needed, but I can assist your carrier. Or fly in and drive it away, I would not hesitate to jump in it right now and drive coast to coast. Cash or certified funds only. Just in time for Christmas! Don't let this one get away. |

Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set
Tue, Jul 19 2022Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
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.
