1985 NC highway patrol car

[ChrisL]

Just got more info from the owner, with no suspension I am definitely out of the game. I sure hate for this one to be lost to the world of scrap metal or mustang race cars though... hopefully someone with a bleeding heart will save it.

"Hi Chris.The mustang has no front or rear suspension at all. The interior is all there but it has 90 model seats that are black.rest is blue.Dash of course is cracked..Got rid of the hood years ago as it wouldn't clear air cleaner.I have the paperwork where it was bought from nc state,It has 140 speedo,one key fits all,ground straps on trunk and had trunk release moved to dash near drivers left knee.If I could back up ten years I would have left it original.thanks for your interest."

1985 mustang 5.0 coupe BODY ONLY.Clean title.No rust but needs paint.Just the shell with no hood.I have the title and all the documents from when it was taken out of service.Please if you are in the area just come see it and don't email me for pics.Mike @910 352 8538

Although I am in NO position to do this myself, I still maintain that a nice running 85 could be used as a donor car to bring this rare SSP back to life. The seller says he has some NCHP documentation, and if it has the Buck Tags and original door VIN sticker this would be worth the effort IMO.

This would be great to save but WAY more involved than I care to go.

The posting is deleted; I left this guy several messages and got nothing. Hopefully someone here bought it to save it ???

[ChrisL]

I sure hope someone did too. He didn't respond to my last email a few days ago asking for pictures... Hopefully someone grabbed it and will restore it!

This is just the body missing the hood.Was a NC highway patrol car it's first few years.Has 140 speedo and I have the title and paperwork to prove it was a HP car if that matters to you.Body has no rust but will need painting.Again,this is just the body,no wheels or even axles.It is on a trailer that was a camper that comes with it so you can get it home,You can keep that if you want.Just hate to see it sitting out in the weather.Call for more details.Mike @ 910 352 8538.

At least mine had wheels! I am originally from Charlotte and love the color scheme on the later SSP, none better looking in my opinion, would be an owner of one but could not do the AOD. Hopefully someone will save.
