As I'm sure Impalaslayer will tell you, they only made the new ones for a short time, as sales apparently didn't support their survival. If memory serves the 4.6 that they came with wasn't really peppy enough for the "Marauder" name, and it didn't get the best reviews in stock form. That is what makes Impalaslayer right by stating the only way to own one is with a blower. I'm sure he'll give you all the ins and outs of the newer version.
Myself, I've got a 65 Marauder out at my dad's place begging me to restore it. My dad has another 65 himself. I used to have a different 65 still, but it was a Monterey Marauder, whereas my current one is a Montclair Marauder. The difference is the trim packages, basically. If I ever do the 65, I have most of what I need to build a 428CJ for it. I know the 65 didn't come with that plant, but it sure would be a good fit. Not sure I'll ever get that far, tho. If I did, the only way that 65 looks good is in black....black paint, black interior, with black steel rims with little dogdish hubcaps....old school evil.

we wont, its "losely" based around your truck.
Also, its a ford product, they probably would if where were talkin chevy or mopar.
Also, its relevant to the thread- your thinking about selling it to fund a project truck.
