Here we have a beautifully restored 1993 Mustang LX Special Service Package used by the Florida Highway Patrol. This unmarked car was assigned to a Supervisor in Troop E who is still with the FHP today as a Major and Commander of FHP Troop L. It was plated FHP-198. In the past year the car was restored back to its original in service look. It has an automatic transmission as most unmarked supervisor units were so equipped. There is plenty of documentation including a copy of the original title, bill of sale from the public auction and auction documents. Both buck tags are included and are detached from the car. These unmarked supervisor units are rare, and this one is in Reef Blue with a Opal gray cloth interior, also a rare color. This was the last year of the SSP Mustang. These cars are becoming more collectible and rising in value.

It wasn't a light hit, but it could have been worse.

The hit wasn't that bad.

I can say the car was fixed and repainted right.
The car was a complete mess from one of the previous owners using paint stripper on it and that crap was everywhere.

I stripped the car down to a running shell all glass out and all jams including front and rear windows were painted along with behind the doors,fenders under hood and trunk.
All glass was changed because it looked like the old stuff was etched.
The only thing i didn't care for my painter doing was spraying the bottom of the hood gloss reef blue instead if the duller finish it should be.

The underside of the car was rust free and excellent condition.

For the apron repair, yes. What about the paint? Hood?

Donny was quoted $900 without paint, and him supplying the parts.

I have about $200 in the parts that I purchased, and the NOS apron is half of that. Fox parts are cheap if you shop smart. I was quoted $900 by the best body shop in Houston to repair the damage without painting, with me supplying all parts.
