1988 PCSD Roller - Denver, CO

[Rhino]

All,

I have tracked down one of the original Pierce County WA SSPs from 1988 in Denver, CO. Car has been parted out - and the roller is what is left. Seller's son had the car and decided to build an LX hatch instead - thus started to part the SSP.

PCSD had around 20 SSP cars in 1988. 1 was an unmarked blue one (Robert K has this). 3-4 were white K9 cars (All are thought to be gone now) and around 14-15 were cabernet red marked traffic units. We have found or have restored VIN #s: 155, 156, 163, 164 and 171.

When we ran carfax reports we found that only 2 remain on the road (to our knowledge). One in Denver (VIN 161) and another.

Robert and I have been chasing this one in CO for some time. And had hoped that we would have found it as a complete car.

The car is still saveable - and if it weren't in CO, and a little closer (where transporting it would not be expensive or a pain) we'd bring it home to restore and be with her sister cars.

Hence my passing this on to the greater group. Seller has been upright to deal with - and he would prefer to see the car saved by an SSP person. He can store the car for a short time if needed.

Seller's info - He's a phone guy more than mail - so phone is best:
Brett Marine

Car is verified as a PCSD - and has the buck tags - and I have the carfax we ran on it a while ago - was in WA state up til 2007.

It needs some loving. Engine and tranny are gone, but the seller may have them available if a comparable replacement can be had (or buy it outright). Seller has the passenger door and back glass and can put it back on the car. Driver's door is gone (was gone before he got the car). Front fenders and hood are gone. Passenger inner fender well has had some damage, but looks easily fixable.

Seller has the SSP speedo, but wants a comparable 140 speedo to replace or buy outright. Seller also wants to keep the rear end (same story as above - find a replacement or pay extra).

Seller wants $400 for the car (might be $500 with the door and back glass back in). Price is negotiable from what I could tell. Says he has a guy who is going to likely purchase it tonight or tomorrow to strip it, cut it up and make a drag car out of it.

Anyone want to help save a piece of PCSD history? C'mon....you know you love those maroon cars!!
