$XX/hr. NOT $XXX/hr. The $XX can be VERY CHEAP..........

Might consider an SSP in lieu of $XX/hr. :D

Booby, I believe you are breaking a forum rule by posting a picture from a dragstrip without including the ETs you ran. :)

LMAO :-)
Bill I did not even see this post... It's not what it ran when it was a all out drag car but I think it's pretty good considering the brakes were hold it back. It ran 8.71 in the 1/8th, but I'll try to get some better times now the brakes are fixed lol :-)

Well new update on my 88 GSP. I spoke with the retired Fleet Manager for the GSP today. I mentioned my 88 and how I didn't know the unit # and how I'd found this 8893 written on the key and how I assumed it was my unit #... Well we all know about assuming:-) lol Well that was not a common practice for the GSP.nor did the high # of 8893 sound right to him either. He told me he personally wrote the #'s on the 88's and that it should still be there. So after arriving home I looked again... There was three stickers on core support. After looking a bit closer two were taped up and one R34 replacement decal was put on after front of core support had been resprayed. Well I peeled it of and what do I see but my elusive real unit #! 8301... I felt a little silly but releaved all at the same time. I'd always questioned my unit # being that high. 8893 would mean 893rd car bought in 88. Well now I know for certain it's there in plain site :-) but at least I don't have that nagin feeling of doubt in the back of my brain now lol... Now where did the 8893 engraving come from and what did it mean? Jones county maybe?

Thanks Brad!
Yea I feel a lot better about it now. Never felt right having a # that high...

MOstang 07-23-2013 08:18 AM

Congrats on finding the number.

That's great, Bobby! Is there any chance you could post up a picture of it?

I'll try but it's been painted over and not sure how well it'll show up in pic but I'll do my best. Tried last night but maybe I'll have better results in natural daylight...

This sticker and one other you can clearly tell are originals, and have been taped up (sloppily too I might add) for a repaint on core support.

This has turned into a really fun daily driver :-)

nighthawk756 09-18-2013 06:20 PM

Had a chance to see this car when I dropped off 1537 for Bobby to work his magic. This car is very clean for a daily driver, inside and out. ;)

chp1982 09-18-2013 06:50 PM

Looking good!

8301 gets. a RE- MAKE OVER...
She's going back stock :-)

chp1982 02-02-2014 02:06 PM

Aside from the wheels, what else are you going to change back to stock? Your resto-mod CHP going to remain your SSP to have a little fun with?

It's all back stock;
Crate 302 auto with stock converter hood etc. Everything except exhaust...

CHP's still up in the air for now...

Well,
I've traded my 88 # 8301 for a 89 GSP. I have another 88 located to replace this one.

Finished putting 8301 back stock. I'm gonna miss this one. But, I've traded it for a 89 to complete my collection... Plus I've gotta a deal pending on another 88 to replace this one. Hopefully I'll have a replacement 88 with in a month. I know of a couple more if the one I really want falls through. Then I'll be done gathering them, and I can begin the process to restore them one by one until I'm done. I wanna thank everyone that has helped and supported me in this goal. It has been a little overwhelming at times :-) But it has definitely been worth all the long hours; phone calls; craigslist crazies etc.

Nice car ! It would be hard to let go of it I am sure.
Good luck and good job on your collection !

chism 02-18-2014 11:57 AM

"Craigslist Crazies" is so true. I was offered so many trades for Honda civics and V6 stangs when I was selling mine. LOL!

Thanks! It is going to a member in the ssp community and websites so at least She'll be in good hands... Plus I think she'll be going to the 50th...
