I think if it was black it would have done better??

I think if it hadn't been bought and sold back and forth between 50 dealers 50 times, it would be doing better. :)

(I'm partial to the silver coupes....I have one that I bought new in 1993.)

This is another one that someone needs to save. Not the typical "this car is going to be crushed if I don't save it" save, more like a "keep this car out of the hands of dealers and speculators who keep flippping it back and forth, jacking up the price" kinda save.

I've sold a few here and there, so don't get me wrong....but this sure was more fun before the people just looking to make money started showing up.

+1 by the time the flippers are finished with it.:No no:

Agreed! But the car will sell for whatever the market will allow. Although flippers will sell an SSP to whoever shows up with a suitcase full of cash, at least the higher the price goes, the less likely it is that the car will end up being sold to somebody just looking for a notchback to turn into a race car.

While we're on the subject:

"They" in the post above is me, in case anyone was confused by what was posted there. I'd hate to think that DJP (a dealer) was trying to imply that the comments were made by anyone else other than me.

As for the flippers v/s dealers, is there a difference between them? Both are selling cars in order to make money. I don't agree with gouging people, but there will always be someone out there willing to pay for something that they really want, whatever the price is.

I've made my opinion on this well known. I don't have a problem with someone making a profit, it's when a car is flipped so many times it (I think 5 in this case) it puts these cars out of reach for the "regular" guy who just wants to own one. This particular car is special and I think some people bought it just to say that they owned it. If the present owner is losing money he has 2 choices- keep it or lose the money. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. As far as someone making it into a racecar I think that point has passed as most Mustang enthusiasts know the value of the SSP and would rather take a 4 cyl car and make it into a racecar\SSP clone.

The best thing to do with "fishing expeditions" like this is not to even bid. The car is not seriously for sale and the owner should put it up with no reserve or not post it. It just jerks everybody around. My 2 cs

True...but not always.

Look what happened to this '82 coupe. While not an SSP, it is a pretty nice car that's about to be turned into a race car.

I'm sure that DJP (the dealer that sold it), had no idea it was going to be raced out. However, I guess that's the risk you take when you buy and sell cars as much as he does.

You really don't think it's for sale? I think it is. It's like the over-inflated housing market right now, and the current seller is the one holding the bag. I think the reserve is price protection for the seller.
