lol, they started making them in 01' as 02' models. They had a problem selling them but our dealership had no problem. A lot of other Lincoln/Mercury dealers have been sending their Blackwood/Marauder to our dealer and they sell every single one they get in. I'm pretty sure they stopped production on them already.
I remember them selling a $75K Blackwood, our dealer had forged Weld rims put on, headers/exhaust, and an awsome Alpine system and some other stuff. They did basically the same thing to an 03' Navigator except they had ghost paint (where you can barely see the design but looks cool as hell) mixed in with the stock paint and they sold it for $75K also.
I drove a stock one they had a long time ago and liked it, especially the front bucket seats which were extremely comfortable, a lot of dealers had a problem selling them though as not many people will pony up that type of money for a pickup when they could pick up a HD version like a diesel F-350 etc for cheaper, and thats what I would do, pickup an F350 for cheaper and have lot's a mula left over for mods.
But then you come where I live and they have no problem buying an $75K Blackwood
A teacher at my college has one, some lady, haven't had her yet.
Nice truck, but I think the price was too high on it, I wouldn't have spent that much on it, I think it was going for somewhere around 50 grand when new can't remember.
