1986 Nevada Highway Patrol SSP
 

Considering selling my 1986 Nevada Highway Patrol mustang SSP. 1 of 10 NHP used in 1986. It's the only 86 NHP known to still exist in the country. Only the second 4 eye NHP in the country. 1 85 and this 86.

I have too many projects at the moment. I'm not looking to make money on this car. I want it to go to someone that would give it the restoration it deserves. I bought it at the first of the year, drove it on the trailer and back off and into inside storage awaiting restoration. It runs and drives, frame rails are straight as an arrow, floorboards are good etc etc. It still wears it's faded blue original paint with double bar sticker remnants still on insides of both doors. Still has whip antenna hole in quarter. Interior needs to be redone. It just needs to be restored and put back to its former glory.

Mike Stapleton of NHPcars.com knows this car and helped me research it. We 'think' it's Unit #289 out of HQ Region/Carson City. I also have 2 correct NOS spotlights and brackets, 4 almost new correct steelie wheels and an almost new correct Uniden Scanner that can go with it or without it depending on price.

$4k as is or $4500 with additional equipment.

Deluxe Marti Report and extra door sticker included.

Good luck with the sale...looking forward to seeing this back to in-service specs in the future.

rare car ! GLWS.

Thanks guys! ;) Hopefully it'll find the right home.

Brad, consider this a *free bump*. Have you gotten much interest yet?

Thanks Bill.

Yes, a good friend is letting me know the first of next week if he's going to get it. Also have a couple members interested. We shall see. ;)

I gave link/info to a buddy of mine in TN... but he acted like it was too expensive. I told him he must not be watching foxbody prices.

Great asking price on a rare car...If I had the room, I'd probably pick it up just to have another '86.

Thanks Matt!

Yeah, I'm making ZERO on the car at this price. And I'm actually losing some to be honest when you add up initial purchase price(can show buyer bill of sale if need be), gas on the 10hr roundtrip to get it, taxes, marti report/door sticker etc.

I'm just wanting it to go to the right home and not get cut up into a drag car. It's too rare of a car for that.

Sold, pending funds.

Congrats Brad! :)

NHP
 

Funds sent....

Be careful...don't jinx it. Congrats!

NHP
 

Don't jinx it?

That's weird...Bill's reply was the last one I noticed when I replied. Didn't see one from you then, although the time stamp is earlier, but I see it now! Didn't realize you'd bought it. My comment had been intended for Brad's post indicating "pending funds". Can't count how many times someone has posted about a pending sale or a "sale", only to come back later and say the sale didn't happen. I always wonder if they've jinxed themselves. Congrats to all. :2thumbs:

NHP
 

Ahhhhhhh Now i understand. Thank you

That's why I said "pending funds". Since funds weren't in my possession yet. I'm like you, I would never just say "sold" if the deal hasn't been finalized.

Congrats to john for getting it all done and a big congrats to Brad for doing the car right and keeping it in the hands of someone that wants to restore the car. It will be an awesome ride once it is done.

Thanks Jim and everyone. Yeah, that was my biggest thing, this car is way too rare just to take the first buyer that shows interest. I wasn't going to sell it until I was comfortable with the person buying it and their intentions.

NHP
 

Thank you Jim can't wait to get her home .

NHP
 

Brad, I think you made the best choice 😆kidding.. But i do thank you for working with me and your passion to keep it out of wrong hands.

:D :2thumbs:

Post up plenty of pics when you get her home !!!
Congrats to all...

NHP
 

Thank you Bobby... i will post up picts when she gets here it will prob be in snow 1st time in its life by time i get it here. I am debating keeping it with Brad in storage until our weathet breaks so it doesnt get here covered in salt from road travel.. unless somebody on here is coming this way with closed trailer..

NHP
 

Looking like NHP being picked up and dropped off this week... Enclosed transport so no salt from crap roads up here.

I'm sure you're excited for it to arrive...the waiting is always tough. Looking forward to how you progress with it.

NHP
 

Mike,
yes excited not sure about progress with the cold. Unless i can get in paint shop asap. But other stuff has to wait until we warm up some. And i guess time to let this thread die will open new 1 to start resto.

'Hope.the waiting game goes quickly. My vote would be to keep.this one as your build thread, but that's your call.

NHP
 

It's the for sale section.. can it be moved by the powers that be?

We need arrival pictures to complete the sale. :2thumbs:

Sure. I was using my phone to cruise the forum, and didn't notice. I will move it over to the Members' SSP Section. :)

NHP
 

Will do and it will be arriving with zero snow on ground yay. Coming enclosed anyway.

NH
 

Thank you Bill

Just thought I'd add the original for sale thread as well... I hope you don't mind?

Thank you Bobby here she is all tucked in on her way and no road salt worry.

Glad she's finally headed your way John!! Let me know when you get it! :2thumbs:

NHP
 

Thank you Brad. Will do i liked idea of storing down there for winter but shipping super cheap right now with low gas prices

No kidding! Better to save money where you can, when you can.

NHP
 

She made it here a day after 8" of snow and a day before another 12" sooooo great up here. I'm guessing 1st time she has been in snow.
