The time has come for me to sell my Marauder. I bought it 3 years ago from the 2nd owner with 52,000 miles. He bought it from a dealership that took it in on trade. Its been my DD and I do my best to keep it clean and ding free. The car is not perfect but in above average condition for its age and miles The cars has the following Mods: 4.10 gears Circle D Triple Disc 11” 2600 rpm stall torque converter. \. Built Transmission installed at 64K Supercharger from a 03 Cobra and supporting mods installed at 64K After Market Tune for the Engine management and transmission shift schedule. Engine The engine has never given me any issues. Never burned any oil between changes(3000 mile mobile one for me). No smoke on cold start. I recently replace the timing chain tensioners and guides and the inside of the motor was very clean. Compression numbers are 217 218 222 218 220 210 225 218 When I did the tensioners I installed a new Ford Water Pump, Changed the Oil and coolant and installed new Spark plugs. Unfortunately the motor has developed some noise. Its very hard to describe and can only be heard at idle or very low rpms. It sounds like valve train noise but I can’t be sure. Some say its normal and some say its not but I can hear it. I’ve tried to capture it in some video’s posted below. That being said I still drive the car on a regular bases and wouldn’t hesitate to drive it on a long distance trip. Transmission It’s a 4R75W in a 4R70W case. It has extra clutches, reworked valve body, HD overdrive bands and the Forced Tail Shaft Lube Mod. It currently has about 15k miles on it and I just changed the fluid. This transmission has performed awesome. The shifts are quick and firm at low throttle setting but not to harsh. The more aggressive you get with the throttle the more firm the shifts get. It has a aftermarket 24,000 gvw transmission cooler installed with a 180 degree thermostat. There are two negatives. The tail shaft seal has leaked from the day I installed the transmission. It isn’t bad and hasn’t gotten worse but does leave a drop on the driveway after a couple of nights. The second is the OD to 3rd Downshift. In order to install the extra clutches the “Wave Plate” was removed The only negative to this is when the transmission downshifts from OD to 3Rd you can feel it. Its not bad or scary its just noticeable. On must automatics you can feel the up shifts but as you coast to a stop you can’t feel any of the downshifts. With the “Wave Plate” removed you feel the downshift from OD to 3rd. Torque Converter I installed a 11” Triple Disc Circle D Torque Converter with the new transmission. Based on Chris at Circle D’s recommendation I got a slightly lower then stock stall speed. I loved the way it drives. Rear Differential I installed new Ford Racing 4.10 gears with all new inner bearings and carbon fiber clutches at around 60K. For my type of driving I actually got slightly better gas mileage. 03 Cobra Blower I bought the blower used. Was told it had about 50k on it. I replaced the oil and coupler when I installed it. No issues. I used a Ford GT fuel Pump with BAP. 39# from a Cobra 90m MAF from a Lighting. LFP Dual Pass Lighting Intercooler I used the Stock cobra IAT2 sensor and location. I kept the EGR and it passes Oregon’s emissions testing with no issues. The Car put down 374RWHP and 384 ft-lbs. Air Fuel ratio is 10.2-1 at WOT at 13 degrees of timing. It starts pulling timing at 100 degrees IAT. Most would call that a very conservative. It runs and drives GREAT!!! Driveshaft While the car was down during the Eaton Swap I had the Driveshaft balanced and replaced the U-Joints Interior Is in good shape. There is a crack on the trim around the instrument panel. Org floor mats are a little worn. I’ve treated the leather twice a year. No boost gauge but I replaced the factory gauges with an AEM Air fuel and an Aeroforce gauges. The top of the steering wheel has a strange wrinkle thing going on(see pic). The tires are Nitto Motivo with less the 1000 miles on them. After the tires were installed I had it aligned The Front Brake Pads are new and the rotors were just turned. A/C was recharged last year and blows cold. Body The Paint is in above average condition. No Fading. No Rust. There are some very minor scratches in the rear bumper from my Kids getting stuff out of the trunk. There are three dings/dents that I tried to capture in the pics. All were caused by stray baseballs. There are three good size chips. One on the trunk, one on the right front fender and one on the left rear door. There is what looks like a factory flaw drip mark on the right rear door. There is no evidence that its ever been in a accident. No tape lines and all the paint measures the same thickness throughout the car. The right front wheel has some significant curb rash. The other 3 look good. The windshield has 2 small chips that have been treated to prevent spreading. I will help with shipping in away that I can and live 30 minutes from the Portland Or airport and will be happy to pick anybody up. I can also take video or pictures of anything you need. Cold start after sitting outside all night Cold start after sitting in the garage Moderate acceleration (Best I could do one handed) Boring driving around Video |

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
