WTB: SSP Mustang 5spd - original or restored

Switchcars · #1 02-13-2016, 02:35 PM

After waffling back and forth for a couple years, and missing probably the best one I'll ever see (a 93 MSHP car returned to full in-service condition, for sale at Bob Gillingham Ford - possibly the car done by MOstang??), I'm officially on the hunt for an SSP Mustang.
The newer the better, and it must be a 5spd. Either a car that's as close to original as possible (ok with minor suspension/engine/exhaust mods, but I don't want one that's been turned into a drag car), or one that's been properly restored to in-service condition.
Not looking for a beater or a project....already have one of those of the German sort going this winter.

Will pay good $$ for the right car.

Full disclosure: As some internet sleuths with rightly gather from my screen name, I do own a car dealership. This car is NOT for resale. I've wanted one for a while and it's going to be for my personal collection. To substantiate that, attached is a picture of me from high school with my first ex-service car, a 2000 Crown Vic, Ex-Irvine, CA, PD unit #24, which got the bug started.

The one at the Ford dealership was the MSHP SSP Eric Prince returned to in service specs and sold several years ago and now owned by the Powell's down in Alabama.

Thanks. Still kicking myself for not getting that one. Bad timing.

Appreciate the responses so far - I've decided that I'm setting my sights on an 87-93. Not interested in a four-eye.
