there are a couple of good deals there as well. Some are well....not so good.
Somebody needs to buy the 86 Colorado car listed on this site. Smoking good deal.

I'm just curious. Now that the Gatorbacks are being reproduced, it is possible (albeit expensive) to have a full set of five new tires for an SSP (including the spare). My question is this - Since the Gatorback is a directional tire, which way does the spare get mounted? I would guess the passenger side since road debris is more likely to be towards the side of the road. How did Ford mount the Gatorback on the spare wheels?

+1.
I haven't found an original '85-'86 spare in any of mine. I don't think it makes much of a difference unless it's raining, though.

you can drive them for short periods regardless of rotation (per the Michigan State Police 1989 "Ford Mustang Pursuit Vehicle Introduction" video.

Would the MCA have any guidelines on this question? Granted, SSP cars were the only Mustangs (to my knowledge) to come with a full-size spare, but I wonder if they have considered this when they judge the cars? I'm not looking to restore my SSP to high MCA judging standards (I want to improve my SSP, not make it a trailer queen), but I would like to get the little details right when I have the ability to do so.

Some SSP's have the spare tire encapsuled with the interior cover. For instance the GSP'swith their radio units and camera unit's screwed through the finish cover directly into trunk floor so there is no access to the spare ( I have however seen a couple that had a slit down the middle, but only on a few, most I have seen were not cut). With that being said the judges would not even have access to see the spare.
