Same! I love em!

Kids, buy a clean Vic for under 2K, put a blower and tires on it, and run this slow Merc off the road. They should have named this model 'nova'. It was designed for a hopped up Triton V-10 but FoMoCo said; wait for it, No Va! A 4.6 is a durable low compression motor, with 7-8 lbs boost it makes 400 hp and holds up well. What a great el cheapo diy project car, a real sleeper! Just stay away from the options when you buy one; the electric seats and windows, funky opt luminescent dash, and the opt air suspension. Look for one with the factory tow package. BTW Cop Vics use the same powertrain, so I'd stay away from them cuz they're beat. Five grand will get you a nice sleeper (if you provide the labor) that will run mid 13's.

chris chilson Even then, the Marauder has an unexplainable swagger you can’t replicate with your average Vic. Of course, you could always just rebadge a Vic, but you’d just be driving a clone.

@@c4llahan At the last minute in late 2002 FoMoCo management nixed the Triton V-10 this car was designed for because of a gas guzzler tax. This 450hp/470 ft lb motor would have put this car in the mid 13's. The 'HO' engine used made only 63 hp/25 ft lb more than the anemic 4.6 it replaced. Low speed torque was actually worse than the base 4.6 below 3000 rpm. Not good with 2 tons to launch. Even repetitious Jackie Stewart commercials couldn't help sales. Some say these could be bought for under 25K new in 2006, but I didn't see that. It is a collector car now, I even saw one on Mecam! Find a clean one and put a blower on it, and there's your 'sleeper' muscle car ;)

Ignacio Alveraz my father is a very lucky man, he bought a brand new mercury marauder in 2003 from a dealership. But in that special case ford did a special thing for the dealership owner and sent his marauder to the guys at svt. They put a cobra engine in it and gave it that svt spice. It hit the dyno and made 380 horses

Stephen Mason i was thinking the samething lol

Same 🙄

Stephen Mason lol

Me too....I could see him saying, "make you a sweet deal on trade for this Bentley."

you stole words off my mouth lol

Maybe a Chrysler 5th Ave all black & chrome, k member to install a 383/440, 727

He's a chronic Caroholic

Jeremy Fowler yeah forged up

lol. "mod"

Amen!!! bothered me from the start!

Steve Woods me too!! Soooo bad.

Agree - clean the headlights.

Kenny C , I miss my 04' SB #406 but a DBP or a moonroof equipped 04 is next, they are way too rare! You got a rare combo indeed.

4.colors?? I've only seen black. (*off to Google➡➡➡)

FACTS!!! + colors were: -Black (03-04) -Dark Blue Pearl (03 & rarest as only 328 were made!) -Silver Birch (late 03 & 04) -Dark Toreador Red (04)

intake are going to make you run lean unless you tune your car. good way to give your 4.6 the shaft is by just adding an intake for no other reason than to say you got sweet mods like a cold air intake bruh

Kenny C. Marron, blue,black and silver. I had a 2003 silver marauder. I miss it

CarPhonix CarAudio Talbotville , not ST. Thomas

@Armando Sturzenegger its way past st thomas , and family worked there , only frieghtliner was in st t

St. Thomas Assembly was an automobile plant located in Southwold, Ontario, Canada close to the Talbotville community and to the nearby city of St. Thomas. According to Wikipedia, but what do they know

@@randolfo1265 so still not st thomas which was my point . And depending which gate you entered by it was either talbotville or southhold , as it was halfway between . My friends lived on the dividing road - on their side talbotville , other side of the road southhold. Fun if you had to call emergency services

I grew up in London, ON about 15min north of the plant. Many fond memories seeing the brand new Crown Vics and Grand Marquis up on the display stands by the highway. It must have influenced me, because I've owned several Panther platform cars and currently have 3 including a 1987 LTD Crown Vic that was built within a week of my birth. When the plant was built in 1967, St. Thomas was the closest recognizable city, hence the plant name (even though the village of Talbotville was closer). The City of London annexed part of the township just north of the plant in the mid '90s, so if the plant had been built since then, it would have been called the London Assembly Plant. Many locals in the area have referred to it as Ford Talbotville. It's now a big empty field.

Austin A yep.

Austin A and manual swap it

Totally agreed i was just about to comment that

Doing that to mine right now.

TheManInDboX No it wouldnt. We want to see a big bang!

Hugh Jaynis :that’ll buff right out...

My OCD couldn't stop looking at them, which made me not pay too much attention to whatever he was talking about, and then I saw the crappy RED Sharpie job on the badges and whatnot. Shame, shame, shame!!

Bug spray and micro fiber cloth

The issue with plastic headlights is oxidation - polish it off, expose new plastic, and the issue starts over. I found new aftermarket headlights for my car for about $30 each and they're still clear a few years in.

3m makes a awesome drill driven kit. Takes about a hour to make them look new.

😂

😂🤣

Kay Mutua this cannot be upvoted enough

Kay Mutua Fuck that NSX it was slow. I know I sound like a child but I’m not into slow cars if he had kept it I would have hoped he TT it or supercharged it.

gotta keep mooving, hoovie

I wasnt too interested in the NSX, not that they aren't cool cars but I think Hoovie has done better with his newer purchases

Kay Mutua More than you can afford pal, Ferrari.

JMV FRVA lol good one.

JMV FRVA poor guy needs a retirement plan

Basically

The car wizard needs a microphone in Hoovie's videos and the car wizard needs his own videos of him actually showing "how-to" of the cars he fixes for Hoovie.

Jerry Lifsey totally agree

50 Ducks In A Hot Tub yes i prefer japanaese And I do love the muscle cars of America, and this was one of my favorites when I knew they put the Mustang motor in it, I remember when this first came out I was glued to the screen watching motor week

Your SS was pretty cool too, Corvette motor, good suspension, posi. But the Spanish kids love 'em and you can't find them cheap any more, Vics are everywhere.

No no no its a dam ford.as the owner of the 94Limited Buick Roadmaster I am LS1 swap mine to get that better gas mileage and performance.u should be too don't retire the ImpalaSS up grade it to the LS1

crownvic ca I feel like you're a bullshitter

Danny Cheeks I guess being a Cobalt owner you would know better then someone who owned 8 Panther platform cars, ran a Panther platform website and setup annual tours of St. Thomas assembly plant where these cars were built for the last 8 years of production. Not to mention currently owning the most cross platform, parts bin swapped Panther platform car in the world. But what do I know I am just a bullshitter.

crownvic ca nice man that’s awesome

crownvic ca These thing had the different offset suspension that was later copied onto the rest of the panther platform correct? I remember reading something about they moved the mounting points of the shocks etc when they designed the Marauder

crownvic ca - Do you own that 2 door box Panther Mercury (IIRC) on a late model CV chassis with a modular? Now *that's* the most cross-pollinated Panther that I know of.

JMV FRVA because we can afford Hoopties. Cant afford a super car lol.

JMV FRVA cause Tyler is keeping it real😁👍💰

Exactly!!!!

A lot of it is because he is a much better host.

JMV FRVA He's a better host. He's much more entertaining. His hoopties are much more interesting.

Joe Man or a Chevy Caprice

No, gotsabe the Impala

Or a Buick Roadmaster. Really any GM B body!

I agree with this

Joe Man You red my mind.

Never buy a car with such a big subwoofer in the back and a broken tachometer.

Frank Gormanns. Yea I agree with that

body and interior looks good, appears he drove the crap out of it but appeared to take care of it at the same time.

D4x4Bronc yes One of those kind of cars that is always getting the tires shined turtle wax and armor all But then cranking up the boombox add zigzagging in traffic at 60 miles an hour

ky le 103989 miles. Yep

This car also makes more hirsepower then a cop car. as the Police interceptor Crown Vic made 265 and this makes 302

CVPI made 250hp 04-11, The Mustang 4.6 (2-valve) made 260

Shame it isn't the model made before catalytic converters so it'd run good on regular gas.

Half a pack of cigarettes, it's nighttime and we're wearing sunglasses...

Tonight for one night only...and it's ladies night. Good thing you have the jacket.

I thought he had one before?

Joeys Cleaning Lady Yep and he sold it real fast!

I thought it was just me!

9:05 it's explained :)

The Rolling Troll I commented this before the show spoiler xD

As a marauder owner myself. I really approve this! A bunch of people were messaging me saying "hoovie boight a marauder" lool

1991 big box grand marquis, I approve.

Job Coaches I got rear ended by one today. :(

91? I loved my 91! That velour interior...

Seth Webb Lol I have a 92

Travis Lawson Hoovies family truckster

VT? Never heard of it. Were they factory cars?

​@@210SAi Yes, but they only made about 100, 430 hp, and a couple had 550 hp. the only one i ever saw irl was at carmax (of all places) many years ago, and they wanted over 30k for it

@@210SAi Also if you google it, you can find some info on this.

Generally? The 4.6 is probably the most reliable ford engine since the 300 I6, not to mention the 4v is a lot better breathing than the 2v. They do 400K miles easy, even when beat on, and have infinite aftermarket support. Not the fastest thing out there....but still plenty fun.

Danny's Garage yes with the mustang motor

I have a friend who is a Taxi driver with a Crown vic...760,000 miles...never been apart...just replaced alternator, serpentine belts, and fluids. And it gets driven pretty hard in city traffic. My town car had 340,000 when i sold it (although it WAS more highway miles...) and is still around, I see it every once in a while in town. Guy I sold it to says it's over 400K now. They last forever if you take care of them. 200K is easily achieved, 300K is harder but not impossible. 400K and above is not as uncommon as you think, especially for livery and taxi cars.

And kinda rare.

Armando Sturzenegger I have a Crown Vic with 402,000 miles on it sitting in my driveway right now that if I wanted to, I could confidently jump in it and drive it to California from Virginia right now and not have a problem.

fLaSh TheGamer I'm on board with you

Hell yea brother. My dad and I always loved this thing.

Grand Marquis are good to just less HP still a great car

this car is a car people dream? never heard of that before

Agreed

jbudd331 there's a small.company from Italy called Lamborghini. They make a few cars a year so you may not have heard of them. KZfaq has a little known feature called "search". You can access this feature by tapping your finger or clicking your mouse on the little magnifying glass icon at the top of your screen. Might I suggest you search for something called a "Murcielago"., it has a V12 (that's a an engine that has four more cylinders then the engine in the marauder 😉). There's also a smallish company from Italy called "Ferrari". They also only make a few cars so you may not have heard of them. Might I suggest you search (on KZfaq) for something called an "f355". That motor is also a V8, however it has five valves per cylinder. You may be impressed. Hope this helps 😉

Mike Dancy Not really, that HU is a real bottom rung Alpine, the subs appear to be kicker solos which he could maybe get something out of from a bass head the really wants a pair of 15" solos. That Hifonics amp might net him $50, it was maybe 200 new. Unless you got a stereo like the one in his Ferrari your not gonna get shit for any of it.

LOL that was VERY FUNNY!!!!!

Even if he gets $100 for it, get that junk out of the trunk. It doesn't below there.

Bill agreed, ditch it and put in something nice

Those are kicker CVR subwoofers that whole setup was about $500 not including that kinetic battery

Bought it while the dealerships owner was on vacation. Can't say he was thrilled to find out he practically gave it to me...

Panther Platform man I was just about to buy one my dealer got on trade in it was $4K and the Ac didn’t work and the ABS and Brake lights were on. My heart told me to but my gut was screaming no I really wanted it but I can’t afford another project I already have 2 I just wanted a clean daily driver that is pretty cool and collectible guess I’ll be getting a crown Vic instead.

@@shawnprickett4099 get yourself a P71 if you have to get a Vic.. They're actually not that far behind these Marauders, plus ppl drive better around n next to you..lol

@@P71ScrewHead Yup. But a civilian car with the factory tow package is almost the same car, with a lot less abuse.

@@crankychris2 not all cop Vics get abused tho man, heck, many times are much better maintained too, I bought mine at 73k miles, now have 77k miles n runs great, I love it..

Nathan Kim I’ll take it for four grand

That Bently parted out is still worth alot. The body and interior are clean

Mario L Nice car I take it

LMAO not everyone. But definitely a popular car in the D

They made about 13 thousand of them. It's a rare care. You probably confusing with the regular crown Vic lol

@@brizzbrizz2390 I know the difference between a marauder and crown vic. It was a popular car in Detroit.

@@Millz5231 I know the entire city population didnt have the car it was a figure of speech. Im fully aware it was popular car in the D thats why I made the statement.

Danny DeWeerdt Steve Miller?

Me toooo, I bought a 94 grand Marquis 2 years ago with no problem

Allan king mustache cousin fucking Jackson

My 1999 grand marquis ls. is 1 step down from a murader

I agree. I like the little bits of red.

Maticalise Music Master it's defo not my kind of car, we didn't ever have land yachts. But I have to agree with this one. I'd black out the red, but apart from that it's looks mean. Well I'd keep the badge red, and ditch the lettering on the rear bumper.

It was a pig though, seemed better on paper.

Ray Davies What you can do with a mustang you can do to this

Maticalise Music Master at the end of this month I'm buying a 97 grand marquis and throwing some cobra parts on it to make a cheap mans maurader

white chocolate That’s actually a pretty awesome idea, I wish you all the best with that 👍🏿

Cuz he's a f**ko.

@@maximusmax4557 The jackets came free with the purchase of a new 2003 Marauder. I still have mine.

Tyler is actually really stuck up. He's a nice guy, but known to be a bit of a snob in his real life. My dad did work for his dad before and met Tyler several years ago, and he would hardly even look at my dad and refused to shake his hand or talk to him. I imagine that's because my dad was the manual labor, and Hoovie didn't fraternize with the "help". I think he's probably less snobby than that now.

InsideOfMyOwnMind Pretty much. That amp is probably a couple grand alone.

Someone has been scammed by an audio shop before lol

That amp sells on eBay for $150 Don't fall for the hyphonics website price of $1900 That is there so local shops can rip people off. They are like. I'll sell you this amp for $700 it sells normally for $2000.. See look at there website.

Definitely not a $5k system...

Maybe a $1500 if you do everything yourself. But yeah original owner probably paid a shop close to $5000 for this setup.

Michael McKenzie don’t worry about Tyler I’m more worried about that tax scam cars for kids They Scrap so many decent cheap cars it’s unbelievable Causing a used car market to actually titan a bit making what’s available more expensive I hate that charity is total bull crap who is it helping it’s actually making it more expensive for people that are on a tight budget

SCRAP Kingdom!!!! Truth
