Can't save them all -

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustang...m=141694988832


Jonathon told me about this one prior to the close of the auction. It is a Delaware SSP (the cars were originally white that the DSP repainted different colors for unmarked traffic use). I spoke with the seller. The car has an open Delaware title without notation of it ever having a salvage title. According to the seller, there is rust in the rear floorboard, up in the passenger front toe area, and some rust starting in a shock tower. I never told the seller of its history.

I know, Mike. If I had my 85s sold, I may have gotten this one. The AutoChecks for that batch of VINs do not indicate that many of them have survived. With DSP only ordering 9 or 10 SSPs for just that one year, there won't be another Delaware SSP turning up any time soon. Like I said, I cannot save 'em all.

Default 1989 Nevada SSP

Here's another one that I would love to save -

http://s864.photobucket.com/user/sup...?sort=3&page=1


It is being offered on FB by a member (Mike in Nevada, but I forget his username). It is a project but it could be had for not alotta money.

IMO, this is the type of car to perform a full MCA restoration to "as-delivered" condition. A few of us have talked about it before, but it would be interesting to see a car restored to how an agency received the vehicle from Ford. The NHP 2-tone colors would look great without markings, and the car would be something very interesting at a show, even without the permanent markings, lights, and equipment. Someone should scoop this one up!
