The 2003 and 2004 Mercury Marauder is a large 4 door car with a full frame on body platform. This vehicle is etched in history as the last of the Ford/Mercury large American muscle car sedans. I would like to spark a discussion in this type of vehicle since not many of these were produced. It was/is a Ford Crown Victoria with a DOHC 4.6 liter V-8. Most current car nuts laugh at it size and weight as a whale size police pursuit vehicle. I just put this car here for discussion. Find one and drive it.
It made quite an appearance in an episode of Alias, where Sydney (Jennifer Garner) helped her father (Victor Garber) escape from some baddies in a beautiful black Marauder.

The size of the 03/04 Marauder is perfect, nice long wheelbase rides well, handles well and it needs to be brought back, maybe with an upgraded 5..8 or the 427 that goes in trucks now. A plain 312 from the Shelby Mustang would be nice but with a bigger bore, 4 inch for bigger titanium valves and with an option of a Six speed manual. It was perfect the way it was and the full frame inspired confidence.
