Scott Whitaker's Mercury Marauder

It's my understanding that Scott Whitaker of Dynamat is going to unveil his custom Mercury named "Marauder" at S.E.M.A. this year. Does anyone have any pictures of it, or its build?.............Mike

 

It's over at "The Hub" www.hubgarage.com on his Dynamat page.

 

The cars been done for 15 years.It was built by Larry Kramer and was seen at the Merc Deuce reuinion in Holland Michigan.

 

YA CK Spurlock had that car built....IT was way out there when they built it!!!!!

 

Its been done for a long time. It was on the cover of Hot Rod in 93' or 94'. It was used in one of those B.F. Goodrich adds that have the backgound as all the same color...
It's okay. I'm not a custom guy. It has some cool Ideas on it, and I was impressed by some of the "Tricks" thay tried to pull on it. But it is by NO MEANS a driver.. As proof that it didn't make it to SEMA. It went on a Roll back after over heating problems.
It's more of a Jewel than a hot rod. The Chevy big block Engine had special heads made that made it a Hemi, with TWO exhaust ports per cylinder. Then they put a VERY exotic injection system that never did work real well. I never heard it run while I worked for Dynamat.
Again, it had some cool Ideas, but not meant to be driven accross country.

 

-Thanks Grilleguy. I'm a member of hubgarage.com . I thought your username looked familier.
-I have seen that car for many years. I mis-understood a friend talking about it. I thought it was an all new build.
My mistake.......Mike

 

No worries.. I'm sure he'll tell everyone it is, and how HE Designed it and built it.. like he does with his other hot rods OTHER people build.

 

i'm sure larry will get a kick out of that ...he's doing a bbc metropoliton now brandon

 

that thing is vile.

 

I'm a novice, but even I can see the lines are ****ed up...

 

Ok, I know what it was,, but what is it supposed to be now??

 

I got all excited and thought it was a real kustom Marauder. boo, that things nasty.

 

It was "cool" when it was built.

 

It was advanced for it's time. (mid 90's) It has a top that "helps" it tremendously!

 

No it wasn't.

 

You can argue that with all the people that drooled over it.

 

Says WHO?

 

Yeah, I remember it at the Merc /Duece reunion in Holland and a bunch of people thought it was the ****. I can honestly say, I never did, but alot of people that are even on this board did!
Scouts honor

 

Once again during the time that this was built AND by the people that were into that scene it was considered cool / cutting edge / desirable. Think outside the HAMB.

I was just making a statement. Damn people - chill out...

 

For 1994 that would have been a hot build. I'm glad it's not 1994 anymore.

 

you wouldn't have any shots of his old "new kid in town" merc ...(think that was what he called it....) probably from around 87-88-89 ish.....
