the overspray is the crappy repaint of the quarter panel done by a dealership to repair some sort of damage (per the owners description) . It wasn't there from the factory.

Mike was it Mesquite. I was under the understanding it was Ft Worth PD or Arlington PD and they never took delivery. All there cars were white with a few autos according to a traffic officer that had one. But this is just rumor...... Wouldnt Mesquite have ordered from a Dallas dealership and not a dealer 45 miles away in Ft Worth...just me thinking outloud.

Arindale Ford is in Arlington by Six Flags. Bid process.

Tom

Yeah...it's been around awhile, and has always been known as a Mesquite-ordered car.

SOLD! $21,350.00

It's sold, assuming that the buyer is legit and follows through, of course. I'm glad to see a car like that fetch good money. A low mileage car is always going to go for more money, but I agree with Sam that it's the in-service history of a SSP that gives it that "something extra" not found in a civilian car. Even a Federal DSO 83-xxxx car with no tracible history is more interesting to me than a never-in-service SSP.

Yep, I was a member of Jim's Mustang Special Service Registry back then. I remember him putting it up for sale at $19k I think it was. I thought seriously about buying it then, but it would definitely have become a daily driver. It's my favorite combo of white with gray interior, auto, PW, PDL, just needs cruise.

I believe I even called him about it and also talked about an '88 NY SSP that was blue (not dark blue) with the black 10-holes and tan interior. It had more miles and would have worked better for my needs, but I didn't like the color combo. I'm a dummy!! I wonder where it is today...

I, too, have always known the white car to have been ordered by the Mesquite PD. Glad to see it still in such great shape.

that is a reasonable price for the car. Hopefully it will get a good home.
