...... ok, I'm back ... year and a half later. I asked to delete this thread, but since not, I'll update it then.. lol.
year ago: I bought a 90 coupe to do a SSP .. ish AL clone/ track car. red/red 90 LX coupe, 5 speed, roll-up windows, 4-cyl shell , non-sunroof shell... with healthy 302 carb motor, light coupe, fast, I thought I was off and going on this project... it was in the paintbooth.... tore it alll apart. uh well.... I wasn't crazy about this particular hotrod, pretty dang fast though....but sitting too low, too tight of drag-strip-ish suspension, battery in the truck, no equipment at all, but hey, I was gonna change a LOT - blue interior, toal shell re-spray to cover all that red, yikes... more than you think... well, I got some 10-hole wheels and the correct caps, so there was some good news. and the fine fellow I got the coupe from, he didn't see fit to tell me that it had been wrecked at one time: &@%#! Didn't know what to do, so I pulled the frame, painted it back 'Re-Sale Red' ... and got it moved to the next happy owner. phew. I am still, or again, very interested in a legit 88 AL DPS car... *** any condition considered. I can trade up, down, or sideways for a Florida Highway Patrol car that I have that you can drive home.... ....Or I have no choice than to (soon) offend the purists and * keeping and carefully removing all FL stuff/interior * making this FL car into an AL (correct as possible) replica.... grr. Thanks John 256-682-1097 cell/TEXT. thx.

Welcome back, John!
 Those Alabama SSPs are hard to find. Do you already have an FHP Mustang that you can use to make a clone? At least with a FHP there were relatively large numbers produced so you're not sacrificing a rare SSP to make a clone. Although I personally am not a fan of clones, the overall police car collecting hobby readily accepts them. So have at it and build your dream car!

+ the owner of the one that was restored in Indiana, he is very nice, but politely declined to sell me that car, and I totally understand that.. probably best for both of us that he got it first and we were not bidding against each other to get it, that could have been ugly. lol. The hunt continues... however in the meantime yes, I will do a FL > AL car, that all FL material will be retained and boxed. If I come across a real AL car > then FL car becomes FL car again. No sweat. Cheers, John

You might be able to scare up one other 1988 AL DPS, if you they are still alive and you knew where.
At least four of them are still in Alabama. http://foxchassis.com/files/SSP/ALTitleCheck.xlsx Others you would have to do a Carfax or Autocheck and figure out if they're still on the road and in which state. Then place a want ad in that area?

Well, of those 4.........261744 is mine, 261750 is Johnaton Powells, and 261754 is one of the car port cars and we know how that went down and no telling where it ended up. So that leaves one that's titled still hanging out there. So there's a chance....

I spoke with Brandon (the half-brother of lilalleykat, I believe) a few times on these two carport cars. He stated that both cars were sold and he didn't remember anything about the individuals that purchased them. If I remember correctly, lilalleykatt was going to keep one of the cars. Does anyone know if he still has it?
Here is the thread I am referring to. http://www.specialservicemustang.net...ead.php?t=1806

well, I understand not everyone will love a clone just because it's a clone. I'm ok with that , cheers to you purists anyway...
'Cobra' owners, anyone with a fake Shelby, fiberglass bodied streetrods, kit cars, etc... they still seem to have fun. I'm not building it to be a 100-pt show car. I know there is a real one out there, somewhere.
