did the FBI purchase most of the Mercury Marauder sold in the United States

No, l think they purchased all the Ford Fairlanes

Doubtful although l would imagine they have a few

Total production was just over 11,000

l know in my area for drug arrests they will confiscate the vehicle. Thus there r a couple of Mustangs, Camaro Z28 is & SS is that the police keep as chase vehicles. l would imagine they could have gotten a few Marauder is that way.

When l lived out east Massachusetts had a Lotus Esprit that they used.

The government typically buys Crown Vics & Grand Marquis' & in Black with the p71 package they certainly can look close. For the price on the Marauder l doubt the government bought them in mass.

Some police agencies bought the Marauder due to their better power over the crown victorias. Other than that l think the Marauder just sort of fizzled out with nobody looking, but that is okay because it means l get more attention while l drive my Marauder.

Do not think so...the Marauder is a civilian model of the P71 that ford makes for Police agencies..so basically if you've ever drove a 06 or 07 P71 and then drove a Marauder you will see other than a difference in the interior they are the same cars..tight suspension.. dual exhaust..

FHP uses them down here in the sunshine state! l think they just were able to cut a good deal with the Mercury dealer!Nice car
