1993 CHP and 1993 FHP being flipped

[28HopUp]

I agree with ya, Jim. I joined this forum in 2008, and even back then flippers were not anything new. This kinda stuff happens all the time, regardless of the type of collector car. I don't condone it, and I am glad that this forum is available to the masses as a resource of information to warn others of sellers trying to make a fast buck.

Reading the FB posts about these two cars, I see where some folks say they are getting out of the SSP hobby. That is their choice. Interests ebb and flow, much like anything else. If these cars no longer light your fire, then it is time to move onto something else. But SSP Mutangs will continue to have a following (albeit, a relatively small, dedicated group), and we have set up this site to be the go-to place for everyone to learn about the cars and enjoy each others' company online. The seasoned veterans will help the n00bs learn that there are no shortcuts to performing a quality SSP restoration. The SSP hobby will persevere through the efforts of the "old-timers" along with the new blood, and we will continue with our efforts at .NET to keep the SSP blue light flickering.

Maybe its time for new blood anyway... I've been here since 07 and will be here for a long time to come " God willing"...

Hey I hopped in here a few years ago during my 93 resto and appreciate all the help and knowledge handed down...I have been in the Foxbody world since 91 and really enjoy these cars all of them...my 2 cents..

I sent the seller a message asking if he knew it was crashed and rebuilt. I think there are some pictures around of the car when it got t-boned. Wasn't it totaled and the drivers side frame horn was bent?

someone refresh my memory.

Front collision. I don't think it was totaled, but it definitely got hurt.

AutoCheck found 55 records for this 1993 Ford Mustang

I guess all of that buying and selling back and forth added up.

I bought your car from SSP Gary in Canada and brought it back to the US years ago. I can confirm how great a job Gary did restoring that car. One of the nicest repaints I had seen at the time.
