1989 Minnesota SSP Mustang
 

Well guys i have made an extremely hard decision to find a better home for this car. Please take a look at the pictures and send me a pm with your # if your interested. I won't sell the car to someone just looking to modify it. I know i can't control the future of it but please respect my request. I don't know what the car is worth because there is nothing to compare it to, so please don't ask.

Is this car you bought two weeks ago for how much? 10,200.00 is a pretty good lick for this one, regardless if it is the only one out there, unless it is in show ready condition. Good luck with the sale.

yes it is. but to me that $ figure was worth spending on a super clean, unmolested, never wrecked car that has an average of 4,500 miles a year on it. believe me !! i don't need to sell it and you wont find it listed anywhere else. i just don't have the heart to change a piece of history. I'm not pushing this on anyone, i thought if anyone would respect my decision to sell it, it would be ssp owners and restores.

Glad you are trying to do right by the car, and we do respect your decision to do so. That is steep $$$ for a car that isn't restored, but who else has one?

Good luck with the sale.

I wasn't questioning the condition of the car, just wondering what you paid for it and why you don't want to keep it. In reading your first post here it just seemed obvious to me you knew what the car was when you bought it, so it wasn't like you bought a car to modify, then realized what you had and decided not too. I respect your decision to sell the car, my focus was mainly on what you paid for it when you bought it a couple weeks ago.

GOOD LUCK .....:thumbsup:

10,200 not including the time and fuel to go get it. once i found out the rarity of its history i decided maybe this isn't the car for me. don't get me wrong i like the car a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i'm not the collector type.

Too bad you did not check with the members of this site before you bought it, as we would have told you $10,200 was too much to pay. My opinion is about $5k too much. Unfortunately unless you get very lucky you will take a loss on the sale of the car. Check the current and closed auctions on eBay to get an idea of what unrestored cars without any of the inservice equipment go for. Your car is rare, but there were other users of these cars that bought less than 20 in a year. Also your car is an automatic which is less desirable in some potential buyers eyes. Good luck with the sale and I hope it goes to someone who will keep it stock and restore it.

NO bash intended, however....


Unfortunately, I have to agree w/ Jim's statements above, specifically the bolded comment. You also posted about this car over on .org on 4/20/10 (prior to posting on here) fully knowing what you had in your posession, knowing exacly what you had purchased.


We can assume you know about Fox Mustangs. You knew the history of that vehicle and knew what you bought from the start, not an accidental find.

Don't take offense or take this to heart, it's not that folks on this site or the other don't want to see SSP's increase in value. However, what is frowned upon are folks who buy them fully knowing what they have, then come to these forums trying to flip for a profit after only owning the car for a few weeks or months "just because it's an SSP". We all know what an SSP is and just because someone has one for sale, does not mean everyone is going to immediately jump and pay top dollar. Also note, many of the SSP's out there are well known amongst the SSP/Mustang Community, so they are followed closely when they surface for sale on any online forums, craigslist, AutoTrader, Mustang Trader, Hemmings & eBay. Pretty much everyone is in the know as to what prior asking prices were and/or what fair selling prices are for SSP X, even more so when these same vehicles resurface at a later date.

Another thing to be aware of - some SSP's are more sought after than others, regardless of just rarity. What makes one SSP more sought after than another is dependant upon exterior/interior color combos, if marked units as opposed to unmarked, auto vs manual trans, if the vehicle is complete w/ proper equipment, buyer recognition or memories of that specific SSP, what State the SSP had served and in some instances if that vehicle comes with historical documentation... Rarity plays a part, however, if the combo is not highly sought after, it's surviving or DSO numerical rarity does not necessarily mean a sure fire sale, regardless of asking price.


Again, no bash intended. I wish you the best of luck, it's surely a well kept SSP - and if you truly did pay $10,200.00 for that unrestored SSP, hopefully you will be able to recover your money during these economic times.

No, it's more like accusing.
Sorry, but i am taking it to heart, you guys are treating me like i am trying to pull one over on you and thats not the fact. sorry let me rephrase that, NOT EVERYONE. I simply made a mistake in buying this car. what i mean by that is, yes i did know it was a retired police car, not denying that. but what i didn't know is how rare it was until after i purchased it and starting researching it. and that makes it more special as far as history goes. did i pay to much? am i crazy? maybe but to me a clean, original car is worth it. you have some people paying big $ for other cars, example being Chevelles, Camaros, etc. do you ever think that just maybe it might mean something to them. 'Cobra jet, i just love when people use the word assume. No bash intended, Right ! :D

:popcorn1: :screwy: :popcorn1:

The ad is posted, the car is what it is, and there's no evidence that the seller is posting it here to flip it. Believe me, I'd be one of the first to put it out there if there was anything to support it. Please take any further discussion about his motivations, price, etc. to PMs...not the FS post. Thanks.

I think that Mike is 'assuming' the facts of the situation correctly. But it's tough sometimes when a new member joins and quickly puts an SSP up for sale that they recently purchased. It's very hard to know people's motivations through a keyboard.

Wishing you luck minnesota ssp on your sale. I was hoping that you would decide to keep it, but I understand your reasons for deciding to sell. Thanks for offering the listing first on the SSP forum(s).
