Yeah, that's sweet. My Marauder wants to be like that when it grows up. You should see the pictures of when he chopped the frame to fit those monster tires in back.

I'd put a light bar on the roof.

It can probably pass anything but a gas station.

So much for the jokes about the Marauder being a rebadged Grampa car with sport trim. And speaking of trim, anybody notice the Cobra emblem on the front fender......obviously stolen from a Mustang?

And.....with the whole top end of the motor sticking up like that, so much for driving in the rain.


I test-drove a new Marauder in the late 90's when it first came out. Power, in stock trim, wasn't impressive at all....at least not quite what I expected. The rival Impala SS felt like it had more spunk.
