I FOUND TWO 88 Alabama Trooper Cars? Prices?

Joe,
I would NEVER sell my car unless I had to...It runs great and tonight I had it at a local car show with WHR44, his FHP car is a marked unit and both cars drew much attention. I can honestly tell you that it's turn key and the only thing left to do is install the equipment. I have all the equipment as well...please check my prior post as I was looking for a stick marked unit to go with this unmarked car. Unfortunately, my wife lost her job and I have to sell the car. I will purchase another one once we get squared away. In my opinion its cheaper to buy a car thats finished rather than buying one that needs work, just my 2 cents. That is unless you have the skills to do the labor yourself but even then it can get costly. Jim Y. or Gary SSP will attest to what the car is. I just registered for Carlisle in June, I will be taking it there if it does not sell locally. I also know WHR44 had an Arizona car he is thinking about selling to start on another FHP he has that needs lots of work. PM him if you are interested I think he wants $8500 and he got that car from Jim Y. as well. Its a 5 Speed and is not junk and I would say is a 5 footer.

Brandon,

If I were you, I'd take some good pictures and put the car on eBay to see where it goes. Raising the price here, after telling everyone you would sell for 10K, probably wasn't the best idea, either.

Good luck with the sale and please post any further updates in the FS thread I moved into the For Sale section here. Thanks,

Where in the rules does it say how long you have to watch your mouth? The shit is getting deep! Move this to the "anything goes" forum!

Hey lilalleykatt, you just joined the site, and now you are selling them, are you going or have another ssp? I assume you are a enthusiast right.

I don't think he ever claimed to be an enthusiast, he's a dealer out to make cash. I seem to recall a few new members signing up, getting info on their cars, help on equipment and decals only to sell their cars, and never to be heard from again.

I hope it lands in someone's hands who will do right by it as an SSP. It seems pretty clear the seller (or is it the seller's "representative" who has been posting) is interested in money and nothing more. While that's not such a big deal to me (especially when it's no secret), it does matter to me that he is inconsistent (to say the least) on sale price and overexagerats the car's condition. Regardless of what you think about the fairness of the price, it would be a fun car to have and enjoy. This has been one the more interesting threads to watch in a while.

I agree, bashing the car (the Mop and glow reference for one) is not going to discourage the seller. I wouldn't pay that kind of money or comment on any car unless I saw the car for myself. Then if you don't think it's worth the asking price DON'T buy it.
