1991 GSP Perm #1247

[kapracing]

Well I've finally struck a deal on my dream 91 GSP. It was bought at auction in 97 and used a daily driver for 10 years, then placed in storage until last year. Then owner then had engine/trans rebuilt and he has only driven it a tick over 1000 miles since then. Other than the rebuilt original drivetrain and added gears in rear end it is all original. Still has roll bar also. I am in touch with the wife of the Trooper that drove this car and she is trying to locate some in service pics for me. It still has the 88-90 drivers seat that was swapped in while in service lol. He has taken very good care of it since purchasing it at auction and it shows. I am very excited about purchasing this one as it will be a great addition to my collection and puts me to only needing one last year for completing it. I should have it in my possession in less than a month.

P.S. I have traded my 1988 GSP 8301 for a 89 and have another 88 lined up to replace 8301 and Then my collection will then be complete... I will have one of every year the GSP purchased Mustangs. 83 ; 88; 89; 90; 91 & 92.

Congrats Bobby! Looks amazing. Is the paint on this one savable or will you have to paint it?

Thanks john & Jon :-)
Unfortunately it would never be NICE. But it will be the last in line for a repaint :-) it has has paint work before just not a all over . Holes were filled etc. I believe under & hood trunk area will not need anything more than cleaning up :-)

Thanks Bill and Mike.
I could only wish they were all in this condition to begin with lol. I'll post up more pics soon. I should have it home with in a month... It was a bit of a stretch for me, but I had to make a move on it as he was about to turn it into a quarter miler... At least now he can buy and build one the way he wants to and not feel guilty :-)

[kapracing]

Couple more pics...

Awesome score! Finding them that original anymore isn't easy, nice find - can't wait to see more.

I"m really excited about it. I've been after him to sell it to me for over a year now :-)

[kapracing]

With any luck I'll be bringing her home this weekend, if not definately by the next ... Weather permitting :-)

[kapracing]

Going to pick her up tomorrow :-)

[kapracing]

Bobby I didn't see a Dunkin Doughnuts sign there for that many patroll cars. LoL But it is a nice site too see. On a side note I eat more doughnuts than any of the officers I know.

Great! Now you got me wanting Dunkin Doughnuts! Lol

[28HopUp]

Great pic!

I agree! :thumbsup:

[nighthawk756]

Awesome!! Good pic and another great addition to a great collection!

Winchell's donuts guys.... Winchell's lolol

They had the BEST. Actually, Randy's in West LA had the best !
HUGE donut on top of the roof of their building. Been through the drive up window MANY a time working graves !! lolol

Holes in dash. Consistent with the States GSP. This is the only other one (besides the States) I have personally seen so far that appears to have had the dash light. I will be speaking with retired Trooper Dobson soon and find out exactly how she was equipped soon.

[kapracing]

I believe this was the mic clip holes. ( again I will find out for certain very soon)

[kapracing]

Unsure on these? (again I will find out soon)

[kapracing]

Indention from years of the equipment tree rubbing console.

[kapracing]

Camera mounting hole I believe...

[kapracing]

Ok can anyone figure out what's wrong with this interior? It was believed to have been done while in service. It is a one owner car bought at auction by a Mr. Wells. He swears this is just how he purchased it. There is two pieces incorrect for a 91. If upon retired Trooper Dobson inspecting it, it is confirmed to be in service changes, I will be forced to decide whether to leave it as auctioned or replace two items with 91 pieces...


Hint one is obviously 87-90
Other is 90 only
Chances are both would have Ben robbed from same car so probably from a 90 GSP at HQ...

Driver seat and arm rest delete are incorrect. Come one, give us a tough one!

LOL,
I thought the delete would throw some off :-)

[usajay38]

The GSP I once owned had armrest delete and a bracket was made to go over it to give trooper an armrest. It was a 1991.

It was done in service or after then. All 91 GSP's were ordered through same DSO and all equipped the same. Plus I'm almost positive the armrest delete is a 90 only option. Jimmy Crump was notorious for swapping out used parts from the run outs rather than buying new parts.

Boddy here is a link to the car haluer. I think it would work great for all those GSP.

Yea temporarily... I have the stock hood painted and the 10 holes need tires so I'm running these until I can have the 10 holes refinished and then I'll order a new set of tires...

[MOstang]

Sweet!

[kapracing]

Getting her ready for decals and equipment...

[28HopUp]

VERY nice! That rear bumper always catches my eye, but I know the reason and I think it's pretty cool.

[kapracing]

Well out of the blue I finally got some "in service" pics of 1247:D I'm getting the original 8x10's and the tag in a week or so...

Update on 1247
I have pulled the modded engine and trans. It did still had stock intake and exhaust on it, but the his intentions were to build a drag car. Heads were hogged out and ported; it was bored 30 0ver; big cam; ARP Studs and bolts; Trans had internal shift kit; 3500 stall converter etc. His plan was to buy and swap bolt on's as he could after getting it back running. I had a stock 91 GSP engine that came out of my 92 606/2217 GSP. It was pulled from a wrecked 91 and swapped in 2217 while "in service". It checks out real good so I'm putting it and a stock AOD back into 1247. I am currently planning on down sizing so this one will be sold very soon...

[28HopUp]

Sounds like a plan, Bobby!
