I deeply dislike people who scold you for daily driving a car. I don’t care how rare it is, cars are made to drive. Not to mention, that’s how you build a legacy for them.
Yeah, like the guy who put 4 million miles on a classic Volvo. He could have put it under tarp and trailer as it went from new to vintage, but he had a much better time actually driving it.
Honestly, if you've bought your dream car, why wouldn't you take it everywhere? Even getting groceries would be more fun.
Exactly. Unless its pristine bone stock, with like 2K miles on. I'd be mad if someone said "oh yeah I'm gonna daily this."
Also, if you've got an 80s import, when they hadn't figured out alloys yet, and they rust easily I understand you wouldn't want to drive that when the roads have been salted, I get that too.
But down here in florida, the air itself is wet and salty, so its gonna rust, unless it's literally inside, like climate controlled and everything. So if its gonna rust anyways, why not drive it?
People do the same thing with antique tractors. Try to tell YOU what YOU can do with YOUR machine
Bugatti chiron daily driver?
Cole my dad hates people like that, he has an 52-53? Oliver 88 that he uses every single time there’s a tractor pull. “It’s made for pulling, so I’m gonna pull stuff with it.” Are his exact words whenever someone questions him about it.
Being scolded for enjoying a car, by daily driving, is idiotic.
Yep rip me and my MGB next year
This is a lot of old people. They want to keep things in bubbles. Like plastic on furniture. I think he said 12k were made? Thats not even that rare. But old people.
People drove the grand national and thus there are stories behind it. So people truly care about it. The mauraders legacy will be nothing because people not driving doesnt produce the memories talked about in the video.
Side note a friend of mine baught a C5 vette from a guy that likes to keep things in bubbles. On its 5th or 6th time out of the garage in 15 years he got rearended and tweaked the rear of the frame. Insurance totaled it so he sold it. The guy cried when he sold it. My friend turned it into a vette cart and sent him a picture lol.
@@christopherwilson9140
Ironically the Vic will have a legacy of memories because of how cheap they are. Theyre a V8 thats affordable enough to be someones first car
Right?!?! Cars are for DRIVING!!! Unless it's TRULY a rare car, DRIVE the damned thing. The are CARS not paintings. Machines don't "like" so sit idle. Bad thing happen. Use it as intended!!! This car isn't even OLD. I knew a guy who bought a 1949 Plymouth in '49 and drove it DAILY, as just a car until his death in 1990! A flathead 6 with a three on "the tree"!
Unless it’s legitimately Uber rare and old
Like dailying a 50s car? You’ll rust the poor thing it’s a survivor
This car looks so gorgeous driving around in the rain
bitch weeb....hell yeah it does, it's sexy as hell....
@@branon6565 LOL
It's the answer to Lorenzo's Monte Carlo.
I mean that goes for a lot of cars
so do you, 2003 chevy tracker
4:37 Wait what? Dominic is the original owner and he bought it 15 years ago. Man he looks and dresses the same as 15 years ago. I thought he's in his 20s.
No no.. for dominic, that was 15 years ago
isn't he the K5 Blazer guy?

Mercury Marauder: Official car of "Is that a cop? Wait, no it isn't."
My mom was nearly killed and totalled my dad's marauder in 2010 because someone pulled out in front of her, thought she was a cop, slammed on their brakes, and of course she had to evade straight into a tree.
you want to be a cop.... you want to be a cop...
you want to be a cop
you want to be a cop
YOU WANT BROWN!!
YOU...... WANT..... POUND!!
My motto is race all cops just in case
Grindstone now Ford Explorers have sadly taken that title
Actually Florida highway patrol used and still use marauders (being phased out atm)
Not a cop
David G fuck I thought I was gonna be original
fuck you
No fuck you leatherman

Maurauder, Mercury's 25-year-late answer to the Buick GNX
More like the mid 90s b body Chevy impala ss
I can’t argue with either of these comments
@@sutherlandA1 which didn't last long enough... GM totally effed
I’d rather have a GNX
You mean a 8 year answer to the 1996 Impala SS.
Marauder driver here. Original owner and all. They'll have to pry this car out of my cold dead hands. :) And my Vortech blower, too!
Great video, thanks!
Sweet car. Does the stock transmission and rear end take the added power or did you need to upgrade those?
@@nthgth I had the transmission built at a local shop to take the power. I have not beefed up the rear end. All I've done is swap in a 4.10:1 ring and pinion gear set. So far it's hanging in there. And I can't even tell you how many tire shredding smokey burnouts it has survived. :)
@@fourthhorseman4531 sounds like quite a ride man!
Ik this is late yet noticed you replied to the other guy's comment lol, but Marauders are sick, from the one Marauder owner I talked too it seems like a cool group, guy had it supercharged and with an unreal amount of carbon fiber, stock or not they seem great
Awesome. Take care of it.
"No replacement for displacement learn English or leave" made me laugh out loud.
Sometimes there is a replacement for displacement, but why stay if you don't learn English?
BS, just look at Formula 1, ditched the V8s and the views went downhill...
Racer's Line
Only because people are morons with faulty memory.
I mean no one complained when F1 went with small displacement turbo engines back in the 1980s.
Hell, Ayrton Senna's McLaren MP4/4 had a 1.5 V6 turbo. 100cc less than modern day F1 cars, and I don't see people complaining that, that didn't have a V8 or V10.
In defense of what was already the smallest conventional V8 in the country....
What? We are getting a smaller motor?! Hablahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah No replacement for displacement learn english or leave!!!
I distinctly remember the magazine ads for the Marauder when it came out.
*Step on the gas and forget what year it is.*
Fantastic.
They had a kick ass promo campaign, I definitely remember the ads in car magazines and thinking how bad ass it looked
I will remember that dude
The Marauder was a pretty car that filled a big void after the 1996 Impala SS. It was designed specifically for that reason. The only disappointment was that the Terminator didn't find its way under the hood. I like to think that if only it had a couple more years, it would've competed against the Charger SRT-8 and G8 GXP.
Mine has been my daily driver for 18 years now! Absolutely love it!
"Panther bodies never left 1996"...Neither did the owner ;)
icebreakertech whoop whoop
icebreakertech he looks pretty fly for a white guy
Tool0GT92 GIVE IT TO ME, BABY! UHUUH UHUUH!
That's dedication to the image. Dressing like a twat and driving said twat's parent's car.
LMAO I just imagine the owner's head/face as a driver to choose in Crazy Taxi.
The Marauder would have been a great Knight Rider villain.
Spanos the Garth Knight.
Spanos lol yeah but would have been op
Damn that would have been cool... =I
they should used it in that hawaii five 0 remake
Yeah
I wanted to buy a panther body car. I was going to get it with my own money, but my parents said "Yeah they're nice I guess. But they're old and they'll cost much more in the long run in repair costs alone. You should get a newer car!" and for some reason I listened and bought myself a 2016 Lincoln MKZ.
I wish I didn't.
You could buy a P71, replace the engine and transmission, and it would all cost much less than a later model car
Fool! You could have had an absolutely pristine 2011 Town Car...
bruh they told you to save money on repairs by buying a lincoln? That's abuse straight up
I have a 2004 crown Vic p71, got it for $2600 and although it’s not as top teir as the marauder, the panther platform is solid, and they got some umph for a car that large 😂
Ewwww a MKZ? Shame on your parents lol.
I met Dominick a few years ago in Philly! His band opened up for The Misfits and were awesome
For us merc/crown vic lovers, the marauder is our dream car. And since they are rare, I haven't seen any under $10k.
That hoovies guy nabbed one off car max for 4500.
In my area there are some for 5k
@@cherrypepsi2815 send me the link please no homo
@@cherrypepsi2815 where is that?
There's one with a salvage title for sale in Niagara Falls for 7500. Rear end damage that was previously repaired. If I can sell my truck I'm making a road trip to Niagara Falls this winter lol.

For a minute i thought that guy got it used. it shows you don't compare a car to their owner.
I hurt myself cringing at that hair.

4.6 Vic engines got better eventually in the Vic and can be modified to make 300hp
Also 4.6 are reliable as hell. It's like the 300 straight 6 in the 80s/90s F150. Slower than some other engines but the thing can be leaking out of everywhere not had the oil changed for 5 years and still keep running
The 4.9 is a 300, not a 302. And they've been built since the late 60s
The 4.6 2V in my 2000 P71 dyno'd at 277rwhp. PI head swap, stage 2 cams, longtube headers, etc. Basically the full deal on an n/a stock block. I'm not complaining at all. It's a blast to drive.
If you want to get past 300hp at the wheels, you'll need forced induction or way too much money for worse driveability.
how? asking for a friend
Text Missing
That was a phone typo and a horrible typo to make
As long as that mile long timing chain holds.

SubiefanWRXsti good taste I see
The owner looks like he has had the same hairstyle since he first bought the car
which was by the noutdated already.
how much is the fish?
haha Scooter
Brandon Michaels it fits the douchebag stereotype to people who buy this car
i didnt know the lead singer of smashmouth had a marauder
@@illmatticx FWIW His dad got him this car, and he's loved it ever since that day. Dom definitely is his own man, but he's done right by this car for a long time now.
Mr Regular is the kind of guy who tells everyone his shortcomings / dirty habits on the sly so you've got nothing to insult him with.
Nope, these overused jokes don't belong here, keep them for Doug

Bunka Fas I like doing that with women (like on the first date) then laughing three months later when I have to remind them, or they realize that I wasn't joking.
Could THIS be considered Ford's answer to the Regal Grand National? I mean, this one's all black, it's got a lovely engine, it's got an unassuming shape...
BrokenSet they did sell it in other colors and it is nearly 20 yrs later
It's an answer to the 1996 Impala SS.
No... It was the late answer to the 1994-6 Chevrolet Impala SS as a full size "swan song" model to the body on frame rear wheel drive platform.
Still a dream car of mine
Remember they were crazy fast for their day, but not for today. At 4200lbs+ and 300hp, they aren't going to blow your doors off. There is a modern version of this, which I bought, a Charger Scat Pack. I've owned a Impala SS, Marauder, and now the Charger, and fact is the new technology Charger on the big ol Mercedes platform with the latest and greatest near 500hp 6.4 liter hemi, mated to probably the best non dual-clutch traditional automatic transmission in the world is simply something you can't beat. With modern electronic traction control with independent wheel breaking and modern max performance summer tires, the old birds also can't handle anything like my Scat Pack and would either heavily understeer off throttle or heavily oversteer on throttle and tended to "whip" and be hard to recover. The new ones you can drive like an idiot and still put the power down.
DumbDuck44 buying new is boring
Buy a 1 year old one then.

You mean hes not a drug dealer?
People THINK he's a drug dealer. It doesn't mean they are wrong.
ᛏᛟᛟ᛫ᛟᛚᛞ ᛏᛟᛟ᛫ᚲᛟᛚᛞ he's actually a musician lol
His second car is a Honda Quaalude.
alidaraie He is the lead of a band. He takes good care of himself. No drinking no drugs. Good try tho
Great, I was concerned a bit
Seeing one of these in person is a great experience.
I know tell me about it I get to see mine everyday!😎
I bet.
The 4.6 32V was also used in the 1995-2002 Continental, although it was detuned due to FWD.
They had the jacket all the way up until MY2004. My father bought his red one new at the end of the year in 2004 and it came with the jacket as well. He was also scolded for daily driving his car, even after he supercharged it. It's no longer daily driven, but its held up well.
is he selling it
What's your Saab story? I've got a '95 9000 CSE in storage that breaks two things for every one thing I fix.
SiliconClassics Ah.. the SAAB life. I had a 02 93 like that.
SiliconClassics I've got an '02 9-3 SE with about 160k miles, and previously had an '01 9-3. Surprisingly, in nearly three years of Saab ownership I haven't had a single thing seriously break (that wasn't my fault). I'm currently in the market for a 1999 Viggen and/or a clean SPG. My current '02 is beat all to hell though, previous owner was not kind to it although it still runs and drives extremely well. Plan is to build the Viggen, or the current SE if I end up with an SPG and daily the SE. These cars have been extremely reliable for me and it's been great overall.
Abyl he was considering getting rid of it about a year ago and decided to keep it. I don't know if he will ever sell it, honestly! He's dumped tens of thousands into it at this point. It's an absolute monster right now, any faster and he will have to put a roll cage in it.
Epa est is 18mpg city and 24mpg hwy.
Figured some people would actually like to know.
V.Vega I've gotten 27mpg highway on cruise control with the k and n cai installed on mine
WITH A 410 REAR END AND A CITY OF 11 to12 MPG AND 17 to 18 MPG HIGHWAY.
However, the highway was usually at 80 to 85mph. This car is very comfortable at 95 mph. Whether 65 mph, 75, mph or 85 mph you got 17 to 18 mpg highway. Always thought it had to do with the slight change s in wind resistance at different speeds. Best car ever had.
Tom Wolf Yeah, aerodynamic resistance increases dramatically with speed (it is square the velocity).
It also has to do with efficiency at set rpm. Ideal efficiency happens with lowest revs possible, near full throttle (full throttle triggers the computer to enrich the mixture)
I absolutely love panther body’s they are one of my dream cars, and I finally got myself one CVPI.
It's channels like these that sparked my interest in cars.
Thank you sir!
The Marauder was the car people had been asking for since the mid 90's. Once upon a time, you could get a Panther with a 351. Then you couldn't. Then they switched them to the 4.6. People asked why not the DOHC, or a 5.4? Nope. Starting in the late 70's, and all the way till freegin 2011, leadership at Ford Corp. saw fit to restrict engine choices on their vehicles in such a way that it left most Ford fans scratching their heads and angry. Mustang (Fox body etc) with a 351W to blow those bow tie boys out of the water? NO SIR, WELL OK BUT ONLY FOR THE VERY LAST YEAR AND ONLY IN 250 CARS AND YOU HAVE TO PASS A RACE CAR DRIVING COURSE TO BUY ONE. T-bird or Cougar with the DOHC? NO SIR. 5.4 in anything besides the F-series? OK, BUT ONLY IN AN ULTRA LIMITED COBRA R FOR ONE YEAR. Heck, DOHC 5.4 in anything besides the Lincoln Navigator, you know, because it had like 100+HP and more torque then the SOHC engine, even maybe for an F250? NO SIR. Remember that early 2000's retro themed T-Bird? The lead engineer made a car with a supercharger to test, and wanted to offer it as a top end performance package. NO SIR. That engineer said F it then and took his one of a kind car with him as a retirement bonus. Ford just never wanted to "go for it". It was always some begrudgingly offered super expensive limited edition thing when Ford execs were finally bribed by that one engineer on whatever project/platform to allow the engine everyone(customers) wanted to be put into a platform. The amount of wasted potential Ford had within their grasp is simply mind numbing. It cost them a lot of long time customers, loyal customers, especially once Chrysler decided F it and started releasing 5.7 Hemi powered sedans and basically monopolized an entire market segment now for the last decade.
The depressing thing about the T-Bird is that they had two working concepts for a high performance model. The first was the 1997 Thunderbird SVO with the 4v 4.6L and an m90 supercharger that made 390 hp. This power figure is very reminiscent of the 2003-2004 SVT Cobras. The second was the 2003 Thunderbird SVT which had 390 hp and 390 ftlbs, but from the smaller displacement 3.9L V8.
I think the government and fleet fuel economy and emissions output had something to do with it too. I had a 95 SS and then a Marauder and now a Charger Scat Pack. As long as you aren't brand loyal, there's usually something to fill every niche out there. The market won't tolerate a vacuum. It just sucks for brand loyalists as they will wait for GM or FoMoCo or FCA to make the next car just the way they want it, instead of just shopping around agnostically.
You're totally right. Imagine a Ranger GT 4.6 2v 5 speed from the factory! They could have even detuned it for more lower end torque and people would have still ate it up! There should have been more 4.6 DOHC cars, like Thunderbirds, Crown Vics, and Towncars. There should have been 5.4 DOHC truck packages, too. Even just selling a V-8 Ranger Ext. Cab would have shifted a major portion of that market Ford's way. Dodge had a V-8 Dakota since the early 90's then Chevy was kinda late to the party with the 5.3L Colorado, but Ford never did offer a Ranger with a V-8 unless you wanna count the V-8 Explorer, which has the excellent 5.0L GT40-based engine from the '93 Cobra. They ain't much in a big 5000 lb Explorer, but in a lighter vehicle with lower gearing, a manual trans, one size bigger injectors, a B303 cam, a tune, and long tube headers they run quite well! All the Fox Body guys around here look for Explorer motors to build up because they already have the high performance intake and heads, you just change the camshaft (and all it's related shit) and voila! It becomes very angry!
Last year for the 351W in civilian Panthers was 1981 (you could get it in the Police version only from 82-91)
@@wvangus82 the Ranger chassis wasn't designed for a V8, especially a cammer (which is bigger physically than a pushrod 8); would have required different k-member and mounts, and beefier suspension
THE FIRST 4.6 MODULAR DOHC WAS OFFERED ON 1993 on the Lincoln Mark VIII !!! Two years after their introduction in 1991... IT DIDN'T TAKE FORD A DECADE lol .
Also that Marauder is a nice car, congrats to Dominic for enjoying a car daily like no one else!
Ramiro DY i think thats this particular car. 4.10 gears will do that on these cars.
I have a boosted marauder with 4.10's and 3500 stall.. I get 12 mpg city if romping on it. I don't know what fool put 5mpg.
So much bad info in this vid... Still love the this car and the Mark VIII which I own. 👍👍
You think his car is nice? Doms car is a piece of shit. Go to the forum and you will quickly become aware.
turshin i had 4.10's, long tube headers, exhaust tune and some other crap. It does better than 5mpg. He was being a smart ass or listening to Dom. His car probably does get 5mpg.
As a previous SHO owner, I appreciate the shout out
I freaking love how comfortable these cars are haha, I want one so badly.
Do a 1998- 2011 Lincoln towncar they are the last panther body you will ever see.
post 03 CVPIs are also pretty much completely different cars from the 2000 he did the review on, i was so excited to see him finally review one and then my heart sank when i saw it was a 2000, pre-03s are garbage compared to post-03s
Any Panther in the final generation are the last.
The US did not get the 1jz engine when it first debuted. No USDM cars from Japan had it, instead we got the 7M engine and 2JZ later down the road.
Exploding Xbox I was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had mentioned this because I was about to if no one had lol
The Sc300 had the 1j in 91.
I absolutely love this car! Drove them all the time at the Lincoln/Mercury Dealership, one of my favs
We in Saudi Arabia have a huge love and respect for this kind of cars crown vic town car and the mercury they big and comfy easy to fix And patience for a long life but naw ford stopped and gave us taurus why ford why 🙂💔
ChromeMan04 hahaha no bro not all of us fat !! We like these kind of cars because the first cars came to Saudi Arabia in the 50s & 60s a pick ups and 9 fit full size sedans hahah We got used to these cars that’s all
Do Saudi Arabians also like them because of their reliability? The 4.6L 2v V8 is well know for easily going more than 400,000 mile (650,000 km) with only minor repairs and maintenance.
Lancer Mafia we do fr be like that
Nuclear Cutie I aint even Saudi Arabian I just wanted to call someone a weeaboo
One other thing about Saudi Arabia is it's probably one of the few places outside of North America where gas is cheap enough to run these cars
2 years ago I was looking for a Marauder... Good ones were almost 2x what CV were going for.
Luckily I found a low mile CV sport which may be the most fun while looking like a granddad.
I’ve never thought or cared about this car till this video. I love it and good for dom; owned since new and dailies still! And it’s in awesome shape. A real muscle car and rare. This is a future classic we just dont know it yet.
I've personally seen this car as I live in Illinois and every time I do, it catches my eye.
4:11 rear end, no traction control and 5 MPG city? Daily driver? You sir, have your priorities straight...
I legit thought we were gonna get a b body impala ss review. Was excited to see my car reviewed
Well at least when it does happen you won't be represented by a shitbox car and a fuckhead owner like here
Ezbok58a I feel like that's a little harsh
Ben Mason
The owner of this car is well known on the Marauder forums, he is as much of an asshat as he looks. The cars held together by junkyard parts and he blew one of his 3 engines by running junkyard oil. Yeah.
This car is one of the worst ones out there to review.
Ezbok58a waaaaahhhttt...junk yard oil? That isn't even possible... and what is the issue with junk yard parts? its nothing new for anyone that keeps an old car running. me thinks someone is jelly
Ezbok58a hahahaha yep apparently Dom musta been triggering to you. you soft little snowflake. go suck your thumb in the corner and shut the hell up.
Still hoping to find some old person that is selling one for a cheap because they don't know what they have.
Mazdarati good lick
Ain’t gonna happen. Anyone who owns one knows exactly what they have.
How's that Hunt going?
Lol found 1 for $8,000
I want one so bad.
"And DERRRRRHH!!" Jesus I laughed for 5 minutes over that. Showing the goofy looking face of that Taurus sealed it for me. Hilarious.
"The Marauder came with a jacket..."
That made me laugh out loud. Especially when I remembered the brochure that was shown earlier in the vid said "300 hp in a leather jacket", or something similar.. :)
Think of it as a 300 horsepower leather jacket
This thing is the USA version of Australia's Falcon. Big blokey 4 door sedan that drives well and you can take your mates with you. Just look at the XR8 Falcon.
dandel351 I really do wish we got those over here. I'm sure if GM never killed off Pontiac and their G8 Ford would have brought the Falcon over to compete.
Man, I love my Dad's XR6. So much fun.
Got an FG XR6 ... but running on direct injected LPG, previous owner did the conversion. Its a weird car. Bizarrely quick and cost about $22 a week to fill. Would love for Mr regular to drive.
dandel351 Trust me falcons are waaayyyy better. Id kill for a built turbo Barra
Except it's not a piece of shit lemon that you push more than you actually drive.
The Marauder is so badass on the road
tdugamer Imports
You'd be a legend if you imported a Marauder, nobody in Europe would have any idea what it was and it has the "I'm a big slow american car" look to it, that would entice the ricer crowd to try and race you at lights.......atleast till they find out that the Maruder has twice the cylinders and twice the horsepower of most ricers.
Good luck with the fuel consumption. Seriously tho I would love to see that happening.
It handles like a boat and gets the worst gas mileage and it's not even fast! This is your dream 😂? Get a mustang or a camaro
Why not an MG ZT 260? Same engine but much better chassis :D
This is one of your best videos. Good work man.
Lincoln Mark VIII had the DOHC 4.6. Video says Mark VII and the its titled MKIII in video. Definitely not the same cars at all.
Yeah, the Mark VII still had the Windsor 302
maxxaddict I caught that also.
This^^^
It only popped up for a second, but he did correct himself via text

Excitement!
There are so many careless drivers who forget that their car needs something called fuel to run
Not open; just ajar.
I would love to see a review on a 1990 or 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis.
That ending credit song though...Good job as always RCR!
back in the day i was able to drive the S55 concept Marauder .. and OMG it was a dream
God damn I was about to sleep...
Oh no, now you have to sleep about 12 minutes later...

That's how Mr. Regular rolls, 3AM uploads of new videos
M Scuba yea
Haha been there
I can only imagine what that jacket will cost years from now.
BXRchampion1993 I have my marauder jacket. I have an 04 silver marauder. They go for about 100 bucks on ebay though
I used to joke that it was a $25,000 jacket. But it did come with a free car.
Cleetus buys a Marauder.
UA-cam algorithm: "You know you want to watch this RegularCars review of the Marauder"
Me: "You know me well, google."
so badass, love it, thanks for shaging man, sharing automotive gems from yesteryear, pleasure to watch, inspiring :D
So basically, the Marauder was to the Panther body, as the GNX was to the g body? Makes sense.
I respect this review. You captured exactly how I feel about these cars.
The 9th Generation Continental also has the 4-Valve Intech! It's just not as remembered because it's slightly detuned because the car is front wheel drive and not rear wheel drive. Because of the engine, it was sometimes called "The Front Wheel Drive Cobra".
the lincoln mark 8 was RWD i think
I saw one of these in the wild the other day. I almost overlooked it as another Crown Vic Interceptor that recently got really popular in my area, but then I saw the Mercury badge and had to do a double take. Awesome to see on the road.
Best part of working 3rd shift? RCR releases new videos on your lunch break!

That's ridiculous.
I found your channel last week and started binge watching all of your videos. I think the 2 things I appreciate the most are your cheeky gun references that catch all the right stereotypes, and the amount which you joke about ejaculation.
Never change.
Saw one of these at work today. Looked pretty much mint condition.
Every time I see a Marauder it reminds me of the Impala SS and vice versa....
Ditto.
They're bother kinda rare. I saw one of each in the same weekend in the wild once. LT1 SS Impala on the Ohio Turnpike on my way to visit my brothers in Michigan, and a Marauder at a Meijer while in Michigan.
Abdulla Alsada I watched an impala ss try to race a supercharged marauder while I was casually behind them at a stoplight one day in Detroit 😂
I owned both. Only thing that bummed me out is they said the SS would be a limited production run, and then they made way more after all, which kind of killed the collector value. Never the less, it was bulletproof with the police super durability upgrades, really practical, and oh so cool looking. The "Lord Vader, Your car has arrived" commercials were on point. Funny thing is I thought they were so fast back in the day, but they don't hold a candle to my new Dodge Charger Scat Pack with its near 500hp. People forget that even though it had a Corvette engine, it was only 240hp, which wasn't a lot for a heavy vehicle, especially seating 5.
@@BoopSnoot My dad's stock lt1 caprice wagon was dyno'd and 280 at the wheels. These LT1s made way more than 240 hp. More like over 300.
I'm watching this while vomiting violently
Do It With Dan congratulations
Do It With Dan ARNITZ!
But y?
To much to Fast?🥃
You good?
Akin to my 2003 'Vic Sport. But mine has only, sadly, the single OHV 4.6. But the 'Vic has full instrumentation, (sans tach), and all of the gauges are actually on the instrument panel, so you don't have to take your eyes off of the road, like you have to do with the Marauder. With a 3:73 rear end (twin striper), it accelerates with aplomb. The 4.6 is a happy little motor, that loves to rev. I just love the sound when it's about to hit the rev limiter. After putting on some V rated Yokohama shoes, it handles with amazing precision. It does everything I want a car to do: a roomy interior, bucket seats with floor mounted shifter, a trunk big enough for hauling a desk chair, 2 weeks worth of groceries, and a dead Moose (at the same time) , great acceleration, quiet & smooth. Too bad that Ford moved into other ventures. The Panther body platform is the best thing Ford ever produced.
I live on the north side and I’ve seen Dominic driving it before. Cool to see that it was on rcr as well!

I had a '99 Town Car Cartier. It rode like a dream
The marauder is the pinnacle of a clean, fluid, classic lined body style. A true pleasure to look at from any angle. She’s the “Trophy Wife” for the automotive enthusiast!
Just bought one 2 weeks ago! Man, totally awesome.
"Panther bodies will continue to run"
"This car has parts from 64 other cars in it."
uhm
uhm
Relax, for a Ford, he's doing great
@TacticalMoonstone obviously none of you guys have ever owned a northstar Cadillac...
Ya and I bet in 25 years when there none in the junkyard Ford will have the parts next day shipping.
I have 250k in mine, and aside from lots of rear tires and a few sets of plugs, it's got all its original parts, still runs excellent. Yes it's a daily, yes it gets raced occasionally, but no it does not get 5mpg. 20ish city, 25ish hwy
Roman's outro was so good it gave me goosebumps
This and the 64 marauder are one of my dream cars. My uncle had a 64 primed and ready for paint in 97. Something happened and it’s sat In an impound lot since then. Lot is abandoned and there it sits where it will return to the earth eventually. I was too young to get this and restore it when it was still salvageable. I still drive by it every so often and see it just sit there and decay. Maybe one day I’ll own either one.
Used to work with a due who had a perfect one of these, it was done up in candy green lowrider paint with little ghost skulls all over the lower trims. Really great ride.
Those old Ford oil pressure guages were more like idiot lights.
They just told you that you had pressure or not.
True. I replaced the pressure sensor on mine, it pops to the middle of the gauge. A real gauge will show high pressure when cold, and drop down, as the oil thins at the higher temperature.
The 24v DOHC V8 was also available in the 1998-2002 Lincoln Mark VIII and Continental models. I know because I own a Conti.
Well actually it’s a 32 valve dual overhead cam V8 4.6 L made from 1995 to 2002 you’re familiar with the 1998 front facia and rear facia upgrade but the previous car also had the same 4.6 dual over head cam v8 making only 260 hp until the year 1999 when it was re-rated with a new set of cylinder heads up to 275 hp. Sorry bub I know you were getting close on the facts just had to make sure it is straight.
I used to work valet at a casino in Indiana back in 03-04 right across the boarder from Chicago. We had a guy who used to bring in his brand new Marauder and valet park it. Was one of the most interesting cars I got to drive while working there.
Cool, I have seen this exact car before near Downtown in Chicago, never knew it was so special, mad respect!
This is the only "modern" Amwrican car that turns my head. I would walk past Corevettes and Mustangs to look at one. My type of car, and I drive a 2013 Mercedes E350. To me, same type of car. Thanks guys
I bet the owner listens to Nickelback often in this car.
Y e e t juice no more like Black Flag
*NOFX
Can anyone say wtf is wrong with Nickleback.?????
+RegularCars The 4.6 DOHC also came in the Lincoln Continental. My old man has one :) It's surprisingly quick for a fwd boat. I hope to inherit it one day. Super clean with no rust.
Glad you mentioned the Jalopnik article about the one that was stowed away and never driven.
I don't know why but i love, realy love the Panther body!
I could never decide which I liked better, this Or the Impala SS. I'm neither Chevy nor Ford guy.. They're both great. However... I see the SS often, real ones even. And unfortunately, often they've been "modified" with gaudy aftermarket taillights or different wheels and look like a Caprice that's been re-badged. So my nod goes to the Marauder. Just for the simple fact when I DO see one (which ain't often), it's still original and not neglected.
Rob Petry good point. Personally I could work on that way easier than the ford engine since I've owned more Chevy than ford.
But the LT1 engine isn't too great though
MaziesButt....ummm, that's all an impala was, a rebadged Caprice....
I remember seeing one MAYBE two of these as a kid and seriously, I wanted to drive one ever since. Take it from a former 8 year old, these cars are so cool.
The energy drink in the cup holder really brings this car full-circle
That thing is so beautiful! I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and you just don't see these kind of cars here.
Gripen_ Br It's actually rated at 17 city 25 highway. The 5 mpg city isn't feasible bigger vehicles with bigger engines don't even get that.
In the US you never want to see a crown Victoria behind you ,at night you cant tell the difference from one of these to a crown vic
Not with that attitude!
Yay marauder 😁. I daily mine and it's always fun.
They are not that fast though. I would be lucky to get under 7 secs to 60 but he is right when talking about the handling. I do think that yes you might can get a v6 or four cylinder family sedan that's faster but not nearly as fun. I had an 07 Altima before the marauder and it was faster but I wouldnt go back for the world.
From October 2003 until May 2021, I drove daily my 2003 Ford Crown Victoria, which I bought brand new and I was its only owner. I LOVED that car with all my heart; it was Aspen green outside, medium parchment on the inside. It had over 284,000 miles and the plan was to keep it as a classic car; sadly, last month, the engine finally gave out its last breath. Watching this video, from the same year as my Ford and how the owner too is its first and only owner, I feel sadness and a sense of loss, but much appreciation for others who truly love these kind of cars. I salute all of you holding the torch!
Last breath at only 284 000 miles 🤨.
That's strange these cars are known to go way over 500.000 miles
That engine was also installed in the 1995 to 2002 Lincoln Continental, Marketed as the " intech" V8, she turned to 260 hp for front wheel drive for 1995 thru 1997, and was brought up to 275 hp for 1998 thru 2002.
This is the type of car you avoid in atlanta. They runnin dope.
Marauders and Illinois licence plates go hand and hand.
In Australia the twin cam 4.6 Lt heads were fitted to a 5.4 Lt Triton engine and called a Boss 260 (kw) and later a Boss 290 and where fitted in a Ford Falcon.
We just got a Silver Marauder with 134,880 miles. It is a fun car to drive. Easy to steer and maneuver. We love it.
