Not only is the list growing, but your choice in agencies is admirable - CHP, FHP, GSP, and now TxDPS. I know of a nice Nevada SSP for sale, which would be a nice addition to your growing brood.

Jim, it's an 88 and belongs to a member here:

I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet. I wouldn't mind grabbing it myself, but I can't swing another project right now.

I also inquired on that car and Mike S was knowledgeable and we talked about other NHP cars out there too. I've seriously thought about it and had to take a different approach. What I'm looking for is an SSP that is Blue and Rare... seems appropriate! Makes the list small at times but that would be Nevada and Kansas from what I'm thinking.

But it's a real ugly blue and I'm a Buckeye from Ohio and have to work in Michigan. What do you expect?? I'm trying to erase the image in my mind!

Ok, I just know that the MSP5114 SSP that MOstang has now was done so well that I'm not sure any of us could try to match it. On the other hand, Kansas is not so common and neither is the Nevada car. I like the Nevada car actually best but the Kansas car is something I hadn't thought about.

Got it home guys... Looonng drive!!! But worth it... Car's in really good shape!Alot better shape than I expected, especially for the price! I can't wait to get started on it. Ohh yea I gotta finish the CHP first... LOL.

Any neat tricks to find the unit # for the Texas cars? Like the one for the CHP(written in paint pen above the door sticker). Just hoping!!

Must be a inside joke because I dont know who Jim Y is?... But you all have to understand These are project cars (not even in the same price range as the one mentioned.) I love them and really like saving them. When I was a kid my Dad fooled with the old stangs. So, naturally so do I. These cars are like the fastbacks and Boss and shelby's that were at the time too ruff to fool with. Who wouldn't love another chance like the ones we've all seen in the past? I'm gonna try and get any SSP in ruff condition that I can while I can. (I might get bored on day) If not somebody will eventually be willing to build these neglected ones... And they want be KIA'S... LOL. P.S. The ones I currently have aquired will be built! The Georgia car turned out to be the possible Cobb Co. car. So I still would like to find a "RUFF" GSP car to build...

It's all good....Jim is NoDrama, and he has like 50 cars next to his name.

I'm glad you are doing what you are...keep it up.
