If the Mustang Cobra had four doors, comfortably accommodated five passengers, and came only and black, this would be it. Mercury’s Marauder, was motivated by a dual overhead cam 4.6 liter V8 making 302 horsepower and 310 pound feet of torque. High flow performance intake and exhaust plumbing gave the car and authoritative voice. A 4 speed automatic with high stall torque converter sent power to the rear BFGoodrich 18 inch wide forged aluminum wheels. Lower Springs provided in all business stance. Inside, passengers were treated to custom Marauder black or two tone grey/black leather buckets with contrasting French seam stitching, special console with floor shift, Alpine CD cassette radio with a 100 watt amp, and center stack mounted performance gauges including a 7000 RPM tachometer, voltmeter, and oil pressure gauge. Other Marauder specific touches included a leather-wrapped wheel, power-adjustable pedals, and special dot matrix style instrument panel and door trim inserts. The price was around $35,000. A dealer installed 6 CD changer, a spoiler, a power moonroof, and an engine heater were the only options. Rumors were that the car may become available in colors other than black.
