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.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
