1988 Nevada Highway Patrol Ford Mustang Unit # 057.
Unit #057 was stationed in Searchlight/Laughlin while being operated by Trooper Robert West, ID #112. NHP ordered #057 in a dark metallic blue (7N) with a blue interior. The roof was painted silver, then the NHP decals were applied to the car. It was equipped with an FS22 light bar, a Buddy Bumper push bumper, dual “A” pillar spot lights, a low band whip antenna on the left quarter panel, and two antennas on the rear deck. The car was retired with 81634 on the odometer. After service, the state repainted the car in silver before auction.
I purchased the car from a retired Trooper. The car had seen better days. The exact current mileage is unknown. The fuel injection system was removed along with the exhaust and a carburetor was installed. An x-pipe exhaust was installed with flow master mufflers. The wiring harness had been cut up and modified. The car had been lowered. I brought her home, stripped it down, and repainted the engine compartment. After purchasing an 86’ GT for parts, I began to reassemble Unit # 057. I cleaned up the block and heads, which are numbers matching, reassembled the engine, and installed it back into the car. I removed the dash, replaced the wiring harness and heater core, and reassembled the interior, after giving it a good cleaning.
As it sits, it needs an engine harness and computer for a speed density system to get it up and running. It needs the exhaust replaced, and a few odds and ends. I can go over these things if someone is interested. The car is by no means in perfect condition, it still needs work. It is rust free minus a spot on the driver’s door and trunk lid, which are surface rust. It appears to have never been in any collisions.
The reason for selling it is I’d like to secure funds to possibly purchase the 85’ NHP Mustang I have talked about in the past. If I can’t sell it to the right buyer, I’ll finish it when the weather gets better.
Included with the sale will be complete documentation, including copies of the original titles, copies of the vehicle inventory showing Unit #057 in service in August of 1992, a set of genuine Nevada Highway Patrol Big Horn plates, and an FS/22 Light Bar.
I’d really don’t now what to ask for it so I’m listing the car at $4500 because a price needs to be listed as per the guidelines here. What I really want is to get a decent amount for it and the buyer to get a good deal so I am taking best offer on it. The car is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I will not be listing it on Ebay or Craigslist because the car needs to go to the right home. My records show it to be one of six, 1988 NHP Mustangs and should be restored back to in service condition. Shoot me an offer and feel free to email me or give me a call.
