1989 Unconfirmed SSP in NJ

Cobra Jet, I'm guessing if an SSP Mustang would a correct roll bar then it would only be a loop/2 point and not a 4 point type ?

Depends on the agency. My '83 CSP has a 4 pt (hard to see in the pic)

I forget the agency, but some did have a 2-point bar (loop usually directly behind the driver/pass seats.

The one in the CL ad shows a 4-point mounted in front of the rear seat and going through the interior c-pillar plastics being mounted to or braced onto the trunk wheel wells.

I don’t recall any TX DPS units having 4-point roll bars.

Someone can correct me on the TX DPS statement if I’m wrong and also point you into the right direction of which agencies had 2-point bars.

My 1988 Pierce County Sheriff's Dept SSP that I owned had a 2-point rollbar mounted inside the B-pillar. It matched what the WSP units used. I do not have a photo.

I had planned to call the guy and check it out Easter weekend but either he sold it or cancelled the ad.

Here's the ebay link -

Attached are pics of the Buck Tags, which come back as a likely TxDPS (although it MAY have been ordered for any agency in Texas). The current seller says that there is agency info in the doorjam, which could confirm it as a TxDPS if he's talking about the unit number sticker. This car is already in our VIN Project -

I saw this on Ebay today also. The initial person that had posted it on South Jersey Craigslist 2 times lives in Rio Grande/Wildwood NJ. Which is about 2 hours from me. I had intended to contact the seller and look at it on Easter weekend. However it was sold/taken down before I had a chance to contact the seller. The current seller, I believe it is a new owner, lives in Pitman NJ. Which is less than an hour from me.
The car looks like it has new headlights, marker lights and new tires. Old ad said it need a/c work and a heater core. Ebay ad says he di a/c work and replaced the heater core.
I will try and call the guy tomorrow and go look at it this weekend.

maxwedge5281 What kind of information did the seller give you?
