Not Often Does A SUPER CLEAN SUPERCHARGED MARAUDER WELL MAINTAINED
COME BY, ESPECIALLY WITH A TRILOGY SUPERCHARGER...
In the hopes of expanding the Marauder's appeal in 2004, Mercury
offered more standard features and expanded color availability for
its big performance sedan. Traction control and Ford's Audiophile
entertainment system were now included on Marauder, and improved
shift response was delivered with an upgrade to Ford's 4R75W
four-speed automatic transmission. While initially offered only in
black and later a dark blue for '03, Marauder buyers were given the
choice of Silver Birch, and for '04 only, Dark Toreador Red.
Inside, a Light Flint/Dark Charcoal two-tone interior was also made
available.
After the car's initial fanfare had worn off, sales of the sinister
$34K sedan slowed, forcing product planners to drop production
estimates from 18,000 units a year to 12,000 for only a two-year
run. While most of the motoring media praised Marauder's handling,
others were disappointed with its low-end torque and off-the-line
acceleration, insisting it should have the full factory SVT
treatment, including a supercharger (only available in the
aftermarket).
Some enthusiasts held out hope that a unique, two-door convertible
version which was shown in concept form in early 2002 with a
supercharged 335-horse engine would be produced to rescue interest
in the Marauder, or perhaps that more torque could added to its
V-8. But Mercury had already decided not to invest in any
additional versions or upgraded powertrains, and the model was
quietly dropped after less than 12,000 were built in its 24-month
return to the market.
This gorgeous Marauder is defiantly ready for the winding road,
from the Trilogy Supercharger, upgraded brakes, custom stainless
steel exhaust system, she is ready to roll...
