Interesting. I mean I'd take the Marauder any day. I am surprised that people saw the value in the GM and it was bid so high.

 

I'm always surprised that Ford didn't do one of these and call it a Ford XL, of Galaxie 500 etc.

 

Ford was barely interested in selling these to the public. I'm frankly surprised the Marauder ever saw the light of day.

I love both the dark cherry and the black, and I know what a pain black can be to keep clean.
But if could take one home right now... Oh I'm definitely taking the black one.
