Yeah, I thought all the Postal cars were AOD. Does Aaron still have his?

I sent the seller (a dealer) an email asking him who changed out the transmission. Here is his response.

Hi,

My shop professionally converted the car over to a 5 speed. Rebuilt 5 transmission, brand new LUK flywheel and factory ford replacement Valeo clutch. Everything was done to original factory Ford specs.

Thanks,

Josh


I emailed him back and told him his for sale ad was a purposeful misrepresentation, and he devalued the car by putting in a five speed. No integrity in sight on this one guys. At least he admitted it but he was probably hoping we couldn't make out the door tag with the trans code on it.

buyer beware !!

I own the two cars Aaron once owned. The last three of the VIN on the cars he owned was 614 and 617, both silver cars with gray interiors. I also bought car 623 when it came out of service in November. It is black with gray interior. I am told the USPS had a total of 6 cars - all automatics.

As far as colors went there was 3 Black, 2 silver, and 1 blue car.

One black and one blue car is still listed for sale at Elegant Imports in LA. They have the highest milage - around 159K. Although the miles are high the Post Office does mantain their vehicle well.

You were told that the USPS had 6 SSP cars in-service total or just in LA? Also, where did the info come from?

[USPS SSP]

I said that based on the information that I have. It is possible that there may have been more USPS cars, but nobody has ever mentioned them. If anyone does know of others it would be nice if they would share their information about them. Maybe this will get interesting...

Reason why I asked is because I thought that 6 or so were just sold out in CA. If so, there were many more than 6 ever in-service, as 1811 Postal Inspectors are stationed all over the country. I could see an unscrupulous or uninformed dealer putting out that info, though.

[USPS SSP]

We can't rule out the thought that there may have only been 6 total cars. No others are known of or talked about. The Postal cars could be like the hand full of Saleen SSP's. Oregon declined the cars , Ford offered them to Saleen when Saleen placed an order. The Postal Service in LA may have put in a request (to the government) for cars and recieved Mustangs. I know that I have never seen a Mustang parked in a Post Office lot. My letter carrier here in NY didn't believe me when I told him of my cars til he saw the paperwork. HMMMMMMM
