New ride! March 08, 2015, 11:14:07 PM Boy what a busy few months!I don't really post too often & haven't really done anything new with the BoxFox since it got cold, but I couldn't resist showing off the new car!2004 Mercury Marauder 84k miles, was in Texas its whole life until December then was traded in to CarMax in Dayton & ended up at the Cincinnati store where I work. I just happened to be outside when it pulled into our wholesale line. I put my name on it first & within 10 minutes at least half of the service department was pouring all over it lol.It sure beat my previous Police Interceptors inside & out. :D Quote Selected

Nice score :)lol- I was just talking about these cars with a buddy the other day and I think the silver looks really good on these! But I've got to admit, black would have to be my 1st choice.

It really floats on the highway @ 70 but you feel way more planted than my Police Interceptor did. I got lucky, it looks like whoever owned it JUST replaced the air shocks, they look brand new.I'm so not used to Overdrive transmissions, i still get a little drop in my stomach when it kicks down super low at 30-40 mph lol. C4 and C6 ftw. Quote Selected
New ride! Reply #7 – March 15, 2015, 05:56:07 AM A car around town here is black. That car is kept up and looks great. The darker maroon color looks good as well. Don't know about mods but that black one has at least an exhaust pack on it. It sounds as good as she looks. Good luck with her. She looks like a great car. Quote Selected

New ride! Reply #10 – March 15, 2015, 09:00:34 PM Yee haww A DTR(Dark Toreador Red) those are a '04 only color, Merc built around 980 of those...Quote from: turbotrav;446093I guess....that tranny doesnt like 4th to 2nd downshift....FYI...TravisYeah, it's real ugly when a 4v supercharged does the 4-2 shift(had a black for about 2½ years)... It just comes natural after a couple of those shifts to press that little O/D lock out button on the shifter.. A SC is the one mod that really wakes up a Marauder... Mine dynoed 430Hp at the rear wheels and still had the stock manifolds & exhaust system... Quote Selected
