Note: The seller responded to me with the door jamb sticker.

Paint code........ JP which is silver birch. so its a silver birch car, now painted greenish blue.

You gotta wonder what the extensive repaint cost. The details don't show if the handles/run channels/lights were removed. This might look decent from 30 feet away but this overall vehicle is what is known as a "run screaming".

WOW, that is unreal that they would advertise this as a blue Marauder. Good detective work.
:beer:
 
The color looks like the paint on my Grand Marquis (Aspen Green)

So its a Clone Dark Blue Green Pearl Silver Birch (CDBGPSB) with prototype bumper. Hmm, that should count as something. What's the prototype bumper worth. Seems like there was a discussion on it a long while back.

Clearly no one is appreciating the prototype bumper. If it’s the real deal, it’s one of the few parts that are worth lots of money

You're dead-on with that. I have it on my spreadsheet between 7700 and 7790.



This car made the rounds a long time ago, and either nobody noticed the proto bumper or it's been added since then.

GT500P71 scored a proto bumper back in 2014 (interestingly, that thread also mentions a car that 'used to SB'). Not sure if he sold his or what - I have a Facebook message in to him. gdmjoe did some detective work on 3W3D-17D957-A and found it was made in Guelph, Ontario - not too far from STAP.

Well, this is the last thing I expected to see on a beaten up example from WV...

I guess that makes two prototype front bumpers that exist. Now if only a rear would surface, so someone could make a replica of the concept car.
