1988 Pierce County Sheriff SSP - #1310

All, Current owner asked if I would post his ad here on his behalf.

This car used to belong to me, and I sold it to Buddy a few years back. Has won a few awards at some of the shows. Rare car given PCSD only ran them one year in 1988 - and only had around 12 of them in total. The Cabernet Red color was used on their traffic cars.

Ad text from Buddy:
Selling my 1988 Pierce County Sheriff's (Washington State) traffic unit #1310.

I purchased this car from another member, Ryan (Rhino) in 2012. At the time, I was a Deputy with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department and since have lateraled to another agency.

Here is a link to the photographs for the car and gear I have in photo bucket.

I was able to obtain some gear from a detective that drove one of the mustangs when they were in-service. (Radio, in-service pics, "perp book" (pages containing info were removed) and pull over sweater).

The car runs and drives great and has been garaged the entire time I have had her.

I have photo's showing where the paint has cracked (hood, above the driver door and the rear driver side).

Lightbar and siren are connected/operational. The directional bar was not installed (was not in the car during service). Decals are magnetic.

I am asking $8,000 (or reasonable offer) for the car with all the gear. I am located in Bonney Lake, Washington.

Send me an email (buddy325i@yahoo.com) or text me (253-820-0832) if you have any questions.

Cool car and price seems reasonable. I hope it finds a good home.

I'm a bit late on this thread, but I agree...

Not sure if this is still up for sale, but in the event it is, I will give it a free bump for a cool car. :thumbsup:

Car was sold to a "museum" in Florida to be part of their collection.

1988 SSP MUSTANG - $16500 (BROOKSVILLE)

This is your chance to own one of the best investment cars their is. The SSP mustang is the most collectible fox body ranking number 1.One of the reasons for this is their rarity. Departments would order them in the hundreds. Making a 1988 sold to a single department had all the goodies that a SSP Mustang would have with any changes a particular department would want such as door locks or power windows. This car is one of 636 ordered by this department. It has the lights and siren, radar gun all in working order, the communication system is their but not working, car had added sway bar, graphics are magnetic so the car can be driven. AutoTrader has put out a series of single issue magazines with at least two of them called Mustang Milestones. It's kind of a high end publication with very nice pages and feature cars that I don't recall seeing elsewhere. In the latest, they have an article on the Top 10 Collectible Fox Body Mustangs. I'm not so sure that I agree with their choices, but they do have good reasons for their choices. Often it's because of the general public not being aware of the existence of a given version (supply and demand). I don't intend to copy the article here, but I will list their choices, along with what they call Special Finds: variations of their choices that are more desirable. If there is interest, I'll post the Honorable mentions later.10. 1979 Indy Pace Car Replica (SF: Festival Cars)9. 1980-81 Cobra (SF: Bright Caramel)8. 1982 Mustang GT (SF: Automatic versions)7. 1984 20th Anniversary Special Edition (SF: Turbo-four convertibles)6. 1985-86 GT (SF: Canadian Cobra)5. 1986-93 Saleen (SF: Cancelled Oregon Highway Patrol SSP)4. 1987-93 LX 5.0 "Notchback" (SF: Sand Beige)3. 1992 LX 5.0 Summer Special Edition convertible (SF: 5-speed versions)2. 1993 Cobra (SF: R models)1. 1982-93 SSP (Early California Highway Patrol models or 1985 SSP)

:No no:

PCSD really ordered 636 SSPS :rolleyes: . It always seems that people who aren't really that involved in the SSP hobby like to buy them low and try to flip them higher than market for the car :eek:. I guess if you can succeed in doing so, more power to you.

BTW, I really like those PCSD SSPs, so I hope it will find a good next home to settle down for awhile. Probably a tougher sell in the Eastern part of the country than would be in the Northwest.

Wow - nothing like that guy trying to make a $11K profit. Yikes!

Nothing to see here....keep on moving along...
