So I am not going to lie, I bought this 89 coupe a couple weeks ago because I love the looks and suspension of notch backs. I have a LS1 T56 that I took out of my 00 SS Camaro that I have been planning on putting into it. The car had drove off into a culvert on the drivers front but is very repairable. Everything is in front of the strut tower. This is a completely virgin car exept for flowmasters have been installed. When I took the fender and bumper cover off I seen the buck tag and it sayes GOVT above Special Service Package and knew the 160 speedo seemed weird so I started check stuff out. My car is blue on blue with a 5.0 AOD. Interior is very clean, and exterior needs paint and the front repaired. What is up with this car, people are freaking out about what I am about to do to this car.

I'm not freaking out, but I do have a say as to what is and isn't posted on this site.

Your car is pretty rare, and with a little research, someone may be able to figure out which governmental agency it served with. DEA, FBI, USPS, etc all used small numbers of these cars, and this one could very well have come from one of those agencies.

We are all about preserving the cars here, so that's probably what you are hearing from myself and others. There's tons of 4 cylinder cars and other beat-on notches out there to mod.

Wasn't necessarily referring to you. I advertised some parts off of it for sale on my local craigslist and have got a ton of email and text. What's this car worth? I understand there are others but this car is clean and a perfect virgin for my daily driver build.

I cannot post pics from my phone, but I can text them to someone if they would upload them for me.

Don't part it out. Like Mr. Evil said, sell your SSP to someone here or on .org and get a 4cyl or a non SSP notch to mod. Those cars are just so rare we all would hate to see it get all moded to the point of no return.

Can anybody tell me what this thing is worth? I don't even know where to start as far as tracking down the history.

I have some great progress on the mustang. Came off the frame machine looking perfect, getting it all put back together and cleaned up. Fixing every little thing I can find and keeping everything original. Any help out all on tracking down info about the history of this car?

You might want to shoot a private message to ImEvil1. He may be able to help you. Be forewarned that government SSP's can be difficult ones in which to gather information.
