Default I FOUND TWO 88 Alabama Trooper Cars? Prices?

How much is two of these cars worth? I have found both of these just like they were when they were bought from the auction in montgomery..They are barn finds....How much are they worth?

Depends. I assume that the Alabama cars are SSP Mustangs, since you posted about them here. Do you know what year they are? I assume they are 1988's, which according to department usage info found online shows that 31 SSP's were ordered by Alabama. Local departments also ordered SSP's, so keep that in mind.

Do they run? A car described as a "barn-find" can vary widely in terms of condition. Can you see if the Buck Tags are there and read them? Getting the door sticker information is also very helpful. Any pics?

IMO, an SSP Mustang that needs restoration is only worth up to $1K more than you'd pay for a regular Fox Mustang (again, that's my opinion). Granted, some SSP's are more desirable than others, but there are quite a few rare SSP's out there from several different jurisdictions, so the word "rare" becomes a relative term.

Again, would love to see pics. And welcome to the site!

Brandon, if you end up getting ahold of them, I'd be interested in one. I'm about 1.5 hours from you just across the GA line.

I knew where two were being kept in Birmingham (carport, not inside). Any chance these are the same two?

Joe,

You must have been on the other line with him when I called.

Just goes to show....you never know when a rare SSP (or two) will show up for sale.

I last saw these cars in '06 (Jim Y., Bret T., and I took a look when we were at the MCA show). They had been parked there for years, and looked like pretty solid cars.

welcome to the site...

great find.....(yes ImEvil these are obviously the same two cars we looked at under the "air conditioned" carport in BHam.)

good luck with the flip. you shouldn't have them long. hope you definatly sell them ASAP to someone who will give them a good home. IMO 10k for an unrestored car that has been sitting outside for years is a little steep but you never know. Alabama cars are very rare. The Javelin will go fast too so it should be a great week for you.
