1985 SSP on craigslist-SoCal

Sal · #1 08-25-2012, 03:59 AM

Someone needs to pick this up!! Most probably a CHP unit, but for sure an SSP as you can see the ground straps on the hood hinges in the engine picture!

I'm very interested, just lacking the funds to make it happen.

I got here a 1985 Ford mustang "foxbody"
It's got a 302 boss v8 with plenty of power paired up with
A new 5-speed manual transmission.
It's got 123k miles on it. It needs a little TLC and is a great project car.
Runs and drives great.
Asking $2000 or best offer.
Warning: has approx. $700 in back fees. I'll be willing to work with you on that.

I sent the seller a note asking for more details.

I sent him a msg asking a few questions. Very interested in this one. Does the vin fit with other 85 chp's? Looks like thw wheels are correct, just needs a few caps.

He said there is no extra buck tag and no chp number on the door jamb. Maybe the vin number in the vin project would help id this

The seller hasn't replied yet to my message. Did he give you the VIN?

Well, since that is in slightly worse condition than my 85 when I started, I probably could have asked more than $2k for mine

But my price I would have let my car go for would have been around $3k, but I have no intentions of selling

Even if it isn't a CHP, it's still an 85 SSP (and one of the best looking years too

)

He did not provide the vin. Seemed like a decent guy. Wonder if the back fees would apply to AZ. That would bring the price down considerably, hard to sell a car with that heavy burden hanging over it.
I agree, those are the best looking ssp's, i have always been partial to the 4 eye mustangs. Bummed the 82 fell through, hope this turns out better. Would like to have a chp in this year and save one all in the same motion.
