That car seems familiar. I saw elsewhere that a member there is bidding on it.

Just to CLARA-fy (get it?
 ), this one on Ebay is not JPARGO's old car, but I wonder how close the VIN's are? (It's hard to speculate why that post was deleted - no biggie!)

A point of clarification is needed here - the commonly referred to "Santa Clara" unmarked SSPs were indeed owned by Santa Clara County but they were used by investigators in the District Attorney office and were not SO units. All the the Mustangs used by the Sheriff in that county were marked traffic units like the one pictured below:

the blue car on ebay is a 1990 and was used by the district attorneys office. It was a "pool" car and that is why the miles are as low as they are.
JPargo's car is/was a 1991 and was also a "pool car" hence the low miles. My red 1991 Santa Clara car was assigned to one invesstigator it's entire service life. the pool cars were/could be used by anyone whose regular car was down etc. they had NO lights except for a red 5 inch light that flipped down on the passenger visor side. siren mounted in glove box that had the rear of it cut out. ONE toggle switch on dash surround that turned on the siren . NO spotlights NO antenna. they used the factory ford location with a "styco" setup. Micor single tier radio mounted in the dash under the factory radio.

the car for sale is a Santa Clara County car. Purchased by the county for county use, assigned to the county district attorney's office, not the sheriffs department. Not used for patrol. it was a pool car.
used today by a records clerk used tomorrow by a case investigator used next week by a secretary used the next day by a mail clerk years ago, before the car went to auction I spoke with the fleet manager who confirmed this about several of the remaining low mileage cars that were still sitting in their lot.

That is correct. My better half is a Deputy with the SO and she called the fleet manager. It is a DA pool car. Not a SO Patrol car. I am interested in the car, but for what it is the current price seems high already. There is also some info it was repaired post a fire/tc. No details though.
