It looks like someone spray painted the entire underside of the car.

Yes, same thoughts when I had viewed the eBay pics. Also, seller mentions the “clear is bad”, but from what I see, the entire car was painted white at some point, because with the doors open, all of the latch mechanisms, bolts/screws, VIN decals, etc. are all painted over. I understand if this was an actual DPS unit it would have been painted for auction, but this would need quite a bit of time to clean up.

I can’t believe it actually sold for $12.5k... guess we’ll see if it really sold, or if it gets popped back up on eBay.

AAAAAnnnnndd....its on Ebay. Current owner is from Kentucky. I messaged him through Ebay. I told him that I was from NJ and saw it for sale by the 2 previous owner's (from NJ also) and that I missed those opportunities. He stated he did by the car from a guy in NJ. He said he ran across another mustang that he wants but doesn't have room for both.

One of things I noticed is that the current ad states it has 114,428 miles. The posting of the Craigslist ad from 09/2019 says it has 126,000 miles.
Yes I am a little nervous to try and buy it again.

It's again relisted with a BIN price of $19K -

(same seller as the last listing)

And it’s still sitting at that price point.

So, can anyone give info as to which TX DPS units ran rear roll bars? Is that fact, or added after it’s in-service life? I just don’t see any mention of TX DPS units coming equipped with or having such installed when reviewing tons of TX DPS links through this site and other online searches.

Top is an '83. Here is an '84.http://www.specialservicemustang.net...ow_Bear_0.JPEG

Mike, how are you able to distinguish this as an 84 and not an 83? I'm not doubting you; just wanna learn.

It's an '83 mislabeled on the site (in the DPS section). My mistake when I copied it over and didn't really pay attention. 84's had the bright mirrors and trim along the rockers.

This was actually Trooper Pruett's '83. Here is another pic provided by him. http://www.specialservicemustang.net...X/83DPDPS2.jpg

Thanks Mike. The 83 and 84 TxDPS cars are so similar in appearance.
