This 1999 Ford Crown Victoria (VIN 2FAFP74W5XX224010) has been chopped, cut and reformed into a surprisingly decent-looking replica of the 2003 Mercury Marauder convertible concept. Though no convertible top or side glass is fitted and the interior still needs work, the seller has already done a lot of work with the custom-built doors and supporting body mods. Find it here on Craigslist in New Port Richey, Florida for $5,800. Special thanks to BaT reader Smokin’ G. for this submission.

The seller says they decided to leave Crown Vic markings intact in order for it to be a true one-of-one. Doors were created by cutting and welding two together, with a staggered cut in between for added strength. Extended a full 10 inches, they now measure 57″ inches long, and latch on to body post/B-pillars moved a corresponding 10 inches aft–sounds like a ton of work. No chassis or body strengthening is mentioned.

Note that the inner door trim panels appear to have been lengthened as well. Custom rear side trim panels look to have been made from another set of door trims. Seats are out of a 2003 Mercury Marauder, and a center console with shifter from the same donor car is included. All four seat belts are anchored, and the rear seats retain their headrests as in the show car. It’s said to run and drive well with a new steering box and brakes.

No engine bay shots are provided, and the seller says that the interior will need some minor additional work for a “showroom” look. Of course the lack of side windows or any kind of weather protection isn’t ideal, but seeing as we’re unable to find any photos of the actual show car with the top or windows up, we’re guessing that one was never fully finished either. Provided workmanship is of a good quality, we’d finish up the interior, add some bracing and go cruise.
