I was looking pretty hard at his pics... this could be done by us.. dunno about the working lights. The seats and wheels are from the SVT Cobra, the spoilers are prob from one of the mustangs as well. The logo he could have borrowed from a merc. vehicle or he could have painted it himself... it is all def. doable if you have the time... just gotta find the crown vic plat form model to start with.
 
Go to policecarmodels.com for 1/18 blank crown vicks to start. I have done Phila PD Patrol cars for myself and others. I also took one and did my own conversion in silver birch. I had it on display during MVV. It took time it's not perfect but its is close.
 
Here are some pics.

I have been speaking with the sales/ marketing team at Motor Max about producing a scale diecast Mercury Marauder. So far, they have communicated they will need 6000 pieces to be purchased in order to begin production. These would be priced at $12-15 each and so far, would only be in black. I am unsure of scale right now, but for the price I'd go out on a limb and say 1:18. I need a fairly accurate number of how many units we can truly sell. I will make a simular thread on MCM and keep both threads updated. Once I figure out if we can pull this off or not, I will then look for funding and start taking pre-orders.

Here's the run down:
Blackened300a- 3
MM2004- 4?
Bruce Wayne- 1
ADE 1000- 2
Raudermaster- 3
Larryo340- 1
silcilianmarquis- 1
Zack- 4
Killjoy- 2
PSG- 6-12 depending on case size
Silver2004Marauder- 4
Billzstangin66- 1
96DiamondVIII- 2-4 depending on color
Mike- 1-4 depending on color
1stmerc- 1-4 depending on color
Phastphil- 2-5 depending on color
Lord Vader- 1-4 depending on color
Fairlane347- 1-4 depending on color

ctrlraven- 4-5 depending on color
Crouse- 2
1of328- 5

Total so far: 64-91 depending on colors.

I'd gladly buy at least two, but we're a couple of exponents out of range with the current tally. Would they not build it knowing that they would have a couple hundred sold right here, and then market the rest the way that they market any other model? Surely there would be orders from dealers, no? With this kind of interest, you'd think they would want to simply add this unit to their standard line-up.
