Looking at a 1991 SSP Need Help

[NoDrama43]

I keep telling John I want that 91 back. I have a couple issues in the works so maybe it might happen....not really sure. I like it cause it is blue with blue interior and only has 40+k miles. If I end up with it it will just be a trailer queen like the rest of my SSP cars.

Glad you got the black car. it is nice also and I like the gt seat option the govt cars have. be real cool if there is a build sheet in it somewhere. Bernie has black wheels on his black FHP car and it is bada** looking.

I have to ask you... Do you have a barn for all of those toys?? Do you have pictures of your fleet all restored?? And yes I would have to do the black wheels on it... Your '85 and '86 are sharp... With black wheels of course... I want to keep the originals 'cause I know it wouldn't be correct for show... But the black on black is stealthy and official looking...

Al, congrats on the car...best of luck! John

Here are a couple of pictures of my all-black 85 with painted 10-holes






I know the wheels are incorrect for a 4-eye, but I have them for three reasons:

1. They were on the car when I bought it (but I painted them)
2. They clear the larger 87-up front rotors the car now sports (installed by previous owner)
3. Original wheels and caps are expensive, and I wouldn't use them on a daily driver

I already swapped out those incorrect seats. The clapped out exhaust has been replaced. And yes, those rear tires are beefy - 255's

That is really sharp.... I am still going back and forht about this car... They want $7500 and they were supposed to come down more and they didn't... It is clean... I just don't know what these cars are really worth...

Al, here is the barn my cars call home.... it is still a work in progress...

That barn is my dream.

[ajstoys63]

That truly is a dream.... I would call it home for my self... And the cars.... I like It!!! My girl would not see me for weeks.... Only for you know visits. And she would still have to pry me off the cars. That is fantastic.... Thats all I can say.

By the way the I did no pick the car up today... She is having a rear main seal leak issue... I told the seller either the price drops or the seal has to be repaired... If you want a premium price you have to have a premium product... By the way I want to thank you all for the help that you guys have given me... Both the positive and the negative opinions... Both have helped.

I wouldn't worry about the rear main too much....they all do that. It's a PITA job to fix it, though. As for the opinions...glad we helped....that's what we're here for.
