looks a little better now. :) I am glad I was able to get this one !

another view

engine cleaned up nice also.

Looking good Jim. Looks like a great project.

Looks close to my color. Mine and one for NYSP went thru in Feb 88 when they did the same color that day. Is yours an 88?

Jim - Congratulations...that's a nice looking SSP. Glad you had a safe trip too.

yes it is an 88. built 2/11/88. In service with MSHP in April of 88.

Thanks Don !!
 

with the 88 Missouri I brought these home:

9 gatorbacks. 5 are NOS, the other four are like new. 2 of them on NOS black wheels with the factory spare tire sticker on the front. Also got a mint set of quarter windows, a matched set of S-6 mustang spots, 4 SSP tire boards, and a real nice factory am/fm only radio. It was a great road trip and it was nice seeing Don again. I bought the Idaho car from him years ago and he is a good guy to deal with. He is moving out west in the near future and I wish him the best.

He still has the 1990 Frisco Texas car he needs to sell. If anyone is interested I took some pictures of the car while I was there. The car is a solid white car with blue original vinyl interior. It is a roller however he has the interior, plus a 5.0 AOD doner car that comes with it.

Jim, looks great all cleaned up and will only get better as you go along ;)

That is going to be one sharp looking restoration Jim. Congrats on the mega-score.
