If it were one of the many, non-SSP coupes available out there for cloning, I'd agree (except the white needs to be grey, I think).

I wish I had usage numbers for CSP for '86. Personally, I only know of one other '86, and it's been heavily modded/raced. The only other one I knew of was crashed in '04 and totalled out.

If I didn't have an 86 then I would have liked to have it when it was a CSP car. I have the 86 Idaho car so I don't need another 86.

after the cloning process....I lost interest ....

shame it ended up like that

You know, I am not a big fan of the 1986's. If I was going to get a 4 eye, it would have to be a 1985 model w/ 5spd and 4bbl. Something about the last Mustang ever produced with a 4bbl does something for me. One day I will get one. I was chasing a 1985 Utah one here locally and left notes on the window to no avail though.

Oh well, nice looking clone if you want a clone.

I agree that it would have been better to have had it restored to its original state, but this way it just might be the only undercover SSP in existence! I'm an 86 Mustang collector who has had modified and stock 86 Mustangs since 1986 (8 so far including the clone). I sold 3 this year and bought 2, which brings my collection to 3 (small collection compared to some of you). I had an UHP car that needed a full restoration (sold it to SSPGARY who sold it to NODRAMA, who sold it to someone in FL), which was beyond my budget, patience, and skill set. Everyone enjoys their cars in different ways. I may restore this to its original glory someday, but for now I'll enjoy it as it is. I bet none of you will ever see it in person anyway, so why should it matter what I do with it. Its not like I took an SSP and turned it into a race car. It is still an SSP and I will not misrepresent what it is to anybody. I'm a graphic designer, and I think the GSP look is much more interesting than the plain white variety (no offense to any white SSP owners, and remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder). John did a nice job restoring the car and I think I got a hell of a deal on the car thanks to nobody else bidding on it (my wife was counting on me being outbid too!). If I would have kept the UHP car and spent the money I used on this one for the UHP I would have about a third of a restored SSP and would still have to find the interior equipment plus those dam center caps! I hope I'm allowed to participate here, even though I'm not the SSP purist that many of you seem to be. Thanks for the read,
Bob in MN

Bob,

my "barf" comment was not directed at you. I think the car should have been restored back to CO specs, not turned into something it isn't. Just my personal opinion.

I find it hard to understand why someone would want to do that to an original unmolested ssp. The guy could have done the same thing to a non ssp car and got the same result.

Coming to a show near you, A restored unmolested UHP SSP complete with center caps, radio, siren and plain white paint job. I agree with Jim, a non SSP car could have been used and gotten the same result. Anyway, you got a great deal on a very rare car.
