I am the "Member" who volunteered to work on the car. I am working out details with the GSP. I also have contact with the trooper that drove and turned in the car. Several other troopers that drove the SSPs are very interested in getting it running and spruced up for display/pr/parade etc. etc.
We are also working on a indoor location.

Lot's of details, I will update as things develop. I may be parts begging as this project progresses.

Didn't wanna through your name out there without your say so! lol
Hopefully this old gal will be back to her former glory in due time. I think if we all pitched in it would be a great thing for our hobby. After all it is about the cars nothing else. I'm taking them a tank and fuel pump in a couple days. Cory ( the service mechanic) is hitting the Captain up for four tires in the morning , so it'll be movable. I volunteered paint ( pending approval from the boss :-)...) this is going to be a true "GOVERNMENT JOB" (free) lol but a worth while one. Will try to get together with Gregg and create a parts list if anyone cares to help with that aspect???

Thanks everyone for the offers of support. For right now we are in STAND BY MODE Once we clear the hurdle of legal formalities for approval of the project we will post that result. The car IS and WILL remain property of the GSP.

Note: this "Project" was my initiative. Neither site (to my knowledge) has formally requested anything of the GSP. I will personally take responsibility for starting and perusing this activity. It is just something I wanted to do.

The concept is not to produce a 1000 point show car and the GPS knows that. The idea is to get it safe/roadworthy, and to a level of appearance suitable for display/parades/PR events etc. With some help I believe that appearance could be really nice and something to reflect well on the hobby we all love.

In the mean time, if you want to start rummaging through your parts stashes to see what you might be willing to give up, that would be great. Bobby and I will be compiling a list of needs in the near future but for now it is a "Stand By" situation. Remember the parts are donations. There is absolutely no obligation to participate in this effort.

Again, thanks to all for your replies and encouragement.

Man, Thats an awesome car, I would make a donation

[kapracing]

Ok guys,

I wanna put a feeler out there for parts donations on GSP's last Mustang. No one is obligated to help or donate. THIS IS NOT a .net or .org project. Just some people trying to do a good thing for the GSP. I have a preliminary list of parts that the car really needs, and we have sent in a proposal to make limited repairs initially, ahead of completing the full restoration.

The initial parts needed are:
Quarter glasses
Door belt moldings
Headlights
And fuel pump/tank assembly (already have)

I know NOS parts are far and few and valued greatly. If NOS parts are not an option, then GOOD used parts will be just as appreciated. The overall project is still for the most part awaiting approval so all I'm looking for is pledges for parts. Also every part used on this car must be included in a letter of donation. That is why we need to see what is available to use so all parts can be included in this letter.

The add'l parts list is as follows:
Steering wheel (non cruise leather wrapped)
Dash cluster bezel
Ford ovals (front&rear)
LX trunk emblem
Lesteck alternator

This is not a completed list only a starting point.

If anyone has any NOS parts not listed to donate, we will be glad to add them to the list to go on the car.
If anyone has any of these they would be willing to donate for this project please post up here. If anyone has other parts please post also.

Again this is only a pledge list pending final approval by the GSP.
Thanks in advance...
