Jim, if you got rid of your 88 Missouri car, then you would have a vacancy to fill.

The "One of the eight ordered in 1988" reference in the jaxfox.com article matches up with the group of eight in the VIN Project that this car for sale is part of...

A hugely important and historical vehicle that would not be out of place in a museum. Surprisingly, it doesn't seems to attract a ton of attention at car shows compared to marked LE SSPs. I've been at many, many shows with this car and have observed that most Mustang fans are interested enough in it to take a look but everybody else just sort of scratch their heads and move on. I'm pretty sure Charles Ricks had north of $20k in the original restoration and Keith has added to that figure.

I agree Mike. But that big ole yaller light bar kinda kills it for me.

Does anyone have any direct contact information for Keith?

While I would love to bring this car to Alabama, I wouldn't quite say that just yet. I've learned that someone else has been after this car for some time. If so, I wouldn't consider purchasing it out from under any one or getting into a bidding war of sorts. Plus, with transport costs, it may be a bit too much for us at this time.

I can sell you an even dozen.......and I have a buddy that can bring them to your doorstep.......

they all need a little work though.
