Vehicle Description
All original and comes with the jacket and manual. The 2003 Mercury
Marauder is a notable and unique vehicle produced by the Ford Motor
Company under its Mercury brand. It was based on the Mercury Grand
Marquis, which itself was part of Ford's Panther platform, known
for its body-on-frame construction and rear-wheel-drive layout. The
Marauder was a performance-oriented variant of the Grand Marquis,
and it aimed to revive the spirit of classic American muscle cars
from the 1960s. Here are some key details about the 2003 Mercury
Marauder: Engine: The most significant aspect of the 2003 Marauder
was its powerful engine. It was equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 engine
that produced 302 horsepower and 318 lb-ft of torque. This engine
was mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Performance: The
Marauder was designed to be a high-performance sedan. It featured a
sport-tuned suspension, performance shocks, and a rear air
suspension. It also had a dual exhaust system that gave it a
distinctive rumble. Exterior: The Marauder had a unique and
aggressive exterior appearance. It featured a blacked-out front
grille, unique alloy wheels, and special badging. The body was
often available in classic colors like black, silver, and dark
blue. As seen in the photos, this vehicle body color option is
black. Interior: Inside, the Marauder had a sportier and more
upscale interior compared to the standard Grand Marquis. It
featured leather-trimmed seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel,
and additional instrumentation on the dashboard. Limited
Production: The 2003 Mercury Marauder had limited production, with
only around 11,000 units produced for that model year. This limited
availability added to its exclusivity. Safety Features: It came
equipped with standard safety features such as anti-lock brakes,
dual front airbags, and traction control. Legacy: The Marauder was
often compared to other high-performance sedans of its time, such
as the Chevrolet Impala SS and the Dodge Charger R/T. While it
didn't achieve the same level of success as these models, it has
developed a cult following among enthusiasts who appreciate its
unique combination of power and old-school styling cues.
Discontinuation: Unfortunately, the 2003 Mercury Marauder was only
produced for one model year, and it marked the end of the Marauder
nameplate. The Mercury brand itself was discontinued in 2010 as
part of Ford's restructuring efforts. Condition: The condition of
this vehicle is excellent! This vehicle has been taken very well
care of and the interior still looks brand new! exterior is in
excellent shape with only a small scratch on the passenger side of
the trunk. Today, the 2003 Mercury Marauder is considered a classic
American car, and well-maintained examples can be collectible and
highly sought after by car enthusiasts who appreciate its blend of
modern performance and retro styling.
