In addition to what Mike said, I wanted to make another comment. Your username MAY put off some sellers. This site's Mission Statement is "Dedicated to the promotion, protection, and restoration of the 1982-1993 Special Service Police Mustangs." Seeing the term 'racing' in your username may scare some sellers, many of whom have invested serious amounts of time and money into the restoration of their beloved SSP. I don't want to come off as an @ss, but thought you should know the position of most members on this site.
As SSP enthusiasts, we have no control over what happens to a car once we sell it. A buyer can promise that they will maintain/improve a restored car, but once the buyer plunks down the cash it is theirs to do with whatever they want. At the risk of raising the ire of many members here, I will offer the following suggestion:
If you are looking to hot rod an SSP, I would suggest that you concentrate your search on a larger agency that has many fine examples still around. Specifically, I'm thinking of SSP's from the California Highway Patrol and the Florida Highway Patrol. Not that those agencies are less deserving of having restored examples, but losing one of those SSP's to a hot rodder is far better than from an agency with very few examples still in existance.
I hope this doesn't turn into a huge debate - that's not my intention.
