Yea,
I know your right.
I've just never thought I'd give this much for a roller... But I do want it and its not like the other years. With only 10, odds of finding another is pretty slim. I also know if I passed I'd regret it from now on...

Mine too, been hunting one for years. Paints not great so don't expect much. I'll document the crap out of with tons of pics before it gets restored...

LOL! I look forward to seeing more about it.

Well we've all seen this photo before...
SMALL WORLD...
This is my new contact but he shall remain nameless unless he changes his mind as I promised. Notice this 83 has no lights under bumper cover. This car ran Whelen Dash strobes and rear deck lights. He plans on coming to look at my 83 and see if he can help with any info and questions...Hopefully he can find some in service pics also :-)

ImEvil1 07-25-2013 09:39 PM

Awesome....glad you were able to make contact. Did you tell him about the site?

nighthawk756 07-25-2013 09:50 PM

Nice contact! Did you tell him he's a celebrity?

I'm very excited to get in touch with someone that actually drove one of these:-)
Especially the very officer in one of the only two in service pics we have of the 83 GSP's!!!

Kinda sorta:-)
Maybe he'll let me finally put a name to the picture:-) if not it is still a pleasure to make contact with him!!!

chp1982 07-26-2013 07:37 AM

Wow Bobby. What a score and what detective work on your part. This is the best find in years in my opinion.

Thanks!
I agree but I'm a little bit partial to the GSP's !!! :-)
As far as the "detective work I've made some pretty good progress on contacts ,but I owe a great BIG thanks to Bill (28hopup) and Mick(foxchassis) for help in tracking the car down :-)


Oh by the way that pic of my contact and his 83 was taken right up from the GSP Headquarters on Confederate Ave. in Atlanta Ga.

kapracing 07-26-2013 09:53 AM

Once the 83's finished I plan to go back to that same spot on Confederate Ave. and taking a couple of it :-)

Probably wont look the same after all these years though :headscratch:

Just heard back from my Contact... I had sent him this pic of my dash pad concerning the holes in it. He said that the two holes are from a stainless steel plate that was mounted there for the the Magnetic light to sit on...

Sooo my car was equipped with the Whelen dash strobe!
And...
This very well could be his old car!

FoxChassis 07-26-2013 11:47 AM

Just glad you could save it, Bobby!

28HopUp 08-23-2013 03:30 PM

Thanks for posting up those photos, Bobby! It looks like they had trouble getting the seal to fit on that 82 GT. :)

Yea Jimmy said they started making the smaller ones for the Mustangs because the originals didn't fit to good :-)
