Looks Good

Thanks, guys.
I did get my heads, and intake put on.


Also did some 3.55 gears, h-pipe and Dynomax catback. With the stock cam the driving characteristics stayed the same, but picked up about 70hp on the dyno.

70 horses with a stock bottom end? Nice!

Well since I bought a nice 83 , for a hot rod, I changed my plan with this. Took the upgrades off, and put the stock stuff back on, well mostly. The plan is a stock restore, when I'm not modding the other one.

Hi all

My name is Adam Waite. This exact SSP was my father's car from 1991 to 2011.

We bought it in Seattle in 1991, lived in Wentachee until 1999,then moving down here to Mid MO.

I felt like I had seen a family for the 1st time in years when I saw the pics on the 1st post. The rims and the yellow scrape on the back gave it away.

My dad won several drag racing trophies in the 90's at Seattle drag strip in this car. He would change the back tires to slicks and take the back seat out for weight reduction.

This was the very 1st car I drove when I was 15 years old on the back roads outside of Stover, MO.

He sold it in 2011 when he got a new Stang. I started hunting it down a couple weeks ago, which has led me here. I had heard it was in a SSP museum that restore's it to specs of when it was a State Patrol car. I hope this isn't true.

It is a very special car in my family. I still can't believe I found some pics of it, even if they are from 2013.

Very small world. Such a cool story.

I know it's not much help, but it's a lead:

From a moderator on Corral:

Contact Mustang Museum of America in Odenville Alabama. Sounds like a car they would buy for their Museum.
