1989 Considering selling my FHP project

[svopaul]

I am considering letting go of my 1989 FHP Mustang. I bought the car with intent to restore it but I have SO many projects right now I just don't know when I'll get to it. I have collected some parts for it and put them aside for the restoration which are included with the car. This was a marked in service car. This car has the VASCAR speedometer cables as well and the correct Certified 160mph speedometer. The car is also equipped with the oil cooler.

What I have done since I bought the car(parts and otherwise):
-replaced deck lid-original had the lock torn out of it....I do not have the single lock key for the trunk
-Calipers were missing...installed calipers and got brakes working
-both front seats were gone when I got the car-picked up a pair of blue ones(they would have had to be recovered anyway)
-Dash has holes cut for gauges....I have another uncut dash for the car
-The car came with a 4 cylinder T5 trans(out of the car but which is in the car now)....I bought a date correct 1989 V8 T5 transmission-worked fine but high mile so it should be gone through but not torn up.
-I bought and restored a Jetsonic lightbar with new lenses and domes & speaker/siren...also located an NOS set of mounting brackets for the Mustang(NOT EASY TO FIND!!!)
-I picked up the correct spotlight...used, and an NOS A pillar mount for the spotlight
-I purchased a set of reproduction decals for the car.
-picked up an NOS tan fuse panel cover
-picked up one NOS tan speaker grill for one of the door panels
-Have a pair of NOS FORD headlight lenses(not the cheap offshore reproductions)
-I also have other misc parts for the car including 3 original used Goodyear Gatorback tires.

The car needs paint and general restoration.....I did get it running after I first purchased it but have not started it since. I have a Carfax report at home for it and it shows an accident while it was in service. I do not know what Unit number it is and have not even tried to research it. I will probably try to get it running again as it would be easier for me to move around here and load on a trailer....just haven't had time up to this point.

I WILL NOT part this car out...don't ask me for the VASCAR cables or anything else....these cars should be restored and not parted and I won't do that to this one which is why I am putting a feeler out here and will not list it on Ebay Where someone will buy it to make a hot rod out of.

I am thinking $3500 firm for the car and all the parts that go with it....you can't find a car to restore and buy these parts for that kind of money. I was initially thinking more but that is what I would let it go for to this group.

This picture is old but it looks about the same...I have a hood, it is just not on the car in this picture.
