Just wondering if the 65 marauder is a good car to derby. If so I'm looking for tips on the build and if it's not good can you give me reasons why?

Damn okay. I was just curious what's the difference between the 64 and 65 there is alot different things frame is the big one on them I was able to study a frame on a 65 Galaxie a little but and the front frame was noticeably smaller. It had coil springs on the rear axle and c channel frame from the rear bumper up to the back side of the humps. |

Its an overall inferior car for derby applications by comparison to many others. |

IMO, these cars have a decent frame from 57-64. I do know the 57 is a little narrower and the mount under the core support is different than most. I wouldn't run any Ford car from 65-72 that wasn't a T-Bird or Lincoln unless it was my last resort or a car just to throw together for one or two runs for fun.
