What started out as a "barn find" of sorts regarding performance parts on a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria led me unknowingly down a path of automotive obsession. This is the story of my 2003 Mercury Marauder, and how it became known as one of the baddest Marauders around.
The Beginning
The madness began in the spring of 2015. I heard about some performance parts on a Marauder clone at the junkyard my stepfather owns. I found a totaled 2005 Crown Vic with some surprising upgrades:
- Addco sway bars
- Accufab plenum (Panther modded)
- BBK 75mm throttle body
- Heinous rear control arms
- Aftermarket Marauder-style rear spoiler
- StainlessWorks headers
- StainlessWorks cat-back dual exhaust
- BorlaPro XS mufflers
