When I bought myMcLaren M6 replica, I tried to get some info from him for parts, etc.
Initially I sent him a letter & payment 12 or 14 bucks(I can't even remember it's been soo long) for a price sheet & catalog.

Never heard back. Tried looking up contact info in various places, kit car sites, and the phone numbers didn't work either.

Finally after about a year of waiting, I met a guy at the track, who happened to have some older Marauder brochures, & pricelist.

From the pics I have seen, the bodies look pretty cool, but the chassis are diinosaur's compared to what's available today.
Most of the chassis I saw in the literature used VW bug beam front ends and corvair transaxles! Not exactly what I would want under a race bred body.

In the past two years, I have seen a few Marauder kits on e-bay.
Those which I remember well were a white unfinished Chevron that went for about 5 grand and a Lola T70 body that went for about 4.
I found out about one of them and had 'putor probs before I could bid,,,and the other I just forgot about until it was too late!
I am sure if you are patient, more will eventually come up.
I have seen alot of different finished kits, but never a Maruader in person. I am sure they are out there, but since they were priced so high, they are pretty rare.
