Well, I've been looking for one for a while now and finally found it. For those that don't know the back story, when I was born, my Mom and Dad had one and brought me home from the hospital in it. Obviously not the same car, but it's close enough for me. It's a a 389 Tripower car with a 4 speed. We picked it up in Maryland on Tuesday and drove it back to Ohio on Wednesday. We brought it home to Michigan this morning. Big shoutout to Chris Rhinehart for checking it out for me and to Mopar Jim for looking at one for me in Minnesota. Here she is. Also, one pic is from it's first car show on Saturday.

Congrats; my dad was very jealous when he popped in to check it out!
I saw it while passing by on the way to work one day and it seems immaculate...2003 Marauder (HRPT 2014, 2018)

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I did a little bit of work on the car yesterday. The wood steering wheel had gunk all over it so I had to clean that. Now I have to find some sort of sealant/protectant to put on it. Anyone with a wood wheel have any recommendations? I adjusted the trunk latch so the body lines line up. I put the top boot on, but it has a couple holes in it and some rips in the mounting tabs. I'll get a new one soon. I need to put a new side mirror on it as well since the one that's on it kind of flops around. The door windows need to be realigned. They don't fit well and have gaps Oh, and the trunk leaks in the rain. Gotta figure that one out too.Last edited by BluLightning; June 23, 2021, 07:36 AM.I R Bob

Here's an idea, but watch the video first...Tung Oil
I like these wheels, they fit the stock look, but offer room for brake upgrades and shorter sidewalls for handling...
