Default 1985 Mustang SSP 8419 on eBay

Hi everyone.

Money, space and time needs all dictate that it's time to sell my SSP. I have an eBay auction going as of this evening here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290760191042

Video here:

A lot of you know about this car already, but here's a quick rundown:
• 1985 Mustang SSP, recent white/black paint, less than 117,500 miles
• Everything is pretty much box-stock, except for a Hurst shifter (which shifts really well, actually--the best of any of the Fox-body cars I've owned)
• CHP look-alike whip and rooftop antennas (rooftop is a hokey temp mounting used for shows--I would usually pull it off when cruising around). They go with the car.
• 2 white Spotlights are mounted. They are the newer, rounder type. (I never got around to locating CHP Unity S6 heads, but swapping head fixtures is really easy)
• I cheated a little on the respray and painted moldings black instead of the original gray
• Engine pulls super-hard. Still, carb could be cleaned and/or rebuilt to cure some minor hesitation. It's the stock carb.
• Car comes with 5 SSP steelies (spare still has what I think is a Gatorback on it)
• Car wears shiny, Escort hubcaps (but the 4 original hubcaps also come with the car)
• Car's provenance is well-documented: care comes with original Assignment Card AND an Eminger Invoice!

I think the eBay description covers pretty much everything I can think of, but shoot me an email or PM if you have more questions.

-Brian

GLWS.

Looks like your description font size on ebay is extremely huge. Even zooming all the way out on my browser didn't show it all.

My dad has a bunch of those spotlight buckets that are from CHP cars. Looking at digging a bunch out, restoring them, and selling.

Same here. Takes forever to load too.

Great ad! I stole some of your pictures to add to the VIN page we have already for your SSP. There were couple of mistatements in the body of your listing, which I only am offering up to help you sell your car:
  • You have our website address listed incorrectly. It's www.specialservicemustang.net
  • We confirmed that the original SSPs were not called 'Severe Service Package' cars when we were able to get a copy of an Eminger Invoice for a 1982 CHP Mustang. They were "Special Service Package" Mustangs from the very beginning.


Again, not trying to nit-pick but wanted you to have good information.

Also had trouble seeing the ad - fonts very large - browsing on a Mac with Safari if that helps.

I was using Google chrome and it still does the same thing. Internet Explorer seems to work fine.

Lots of pictures help sell the car

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. All previews looked okay, but I'm using IE and Firefox. I'll login into eBay and see if it will let me make changes.
