The Moulds
I purchased one of two known moulds in Easter 2012 from Norm Clements in South Australia. The mould is made so as you remove the trolley and frame, turn it upside down so it is resting on the steel work, then fibreglass the inside of the mould. To release the new body you unbolt the panels.
The mould has two different rear window treatments. One of the main design differences between a Ferrari 246 Dino and the Marauder is the rear window area. With a Dino the rear window is near vertical because the Dino is mid-engined, and so the engine sits in front of the rear wheels. With the Marauder the engine is mounted behind the rear wheels, which means that the rear window can slope down with the roofline.
Any Marauder from the Adelaide businesses would have come from this mould (see the page on The History)
The doors are also included with the mould, but are not shown in the photos.
I've since sold the mould (and one body from the mould - kept one for ourselves) to a gentleman named Brent Pearsall in Albury, NSW. He's planning on producing a number of bodies from the mould, mainly for racing.
The second mould came up for sale on Facebook Marketpace in Bendigo several years ago. It's most likely that this mould was used for any Melbourne built Marauders (see the page on The History). It sold for $2,500 (or at least that is what it was advertised for).
That mould is now owned by Dirty Dog Outlaws in Cowes on Phillip Island, Victoria. They're planning on producing at least five new bodies from the mould as of time of writing in February 2024.
It's interesting that the two moulds are actually very different. To the point that you can tell that a Marauder came from one mould or the other. Often the giveaway is the 'fins' at the rear, and the 'scoop' cutouts, which were different between them.
Have a look at The Gallery and see which mould you think each came from!
