I wonder if this was a guy I talked to at the Show, Robert was his name, he was with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Dept. Really nice guy, said he had been looking for one?

Well I dont know how the car picked up 2500 in the last 18 hrs since I talked to him...He told me 10k just last night.
I will say this though, I just started getting into these cars within the last 6 months since I got hurt on the job.
All the research That i've done on the cars and prices only tell me that the prices on these cars will try to stay steady within the SSP community. Outsiders to the community are gonna blow these things through the roof and price the cars out of the market. I see it happening right now on sites like craigs list... "FOR SALE SSP Copcar with the fenders falling off for 5k".

Now if you read back thru the threads on the site from just a year ago guys were picking up real solid cars for 2000-2500.
I have a feeling those solid cars are gonna start to dry up cause iv'e called on probably 8-10 cars in the last month and from the information i'm getting is that the sharks are circling the boat on these cars.

Now the guys that already own SSP's will be happy with the price jumps cause it will only bring value to there rides. Guys like me trying to enter the hobby without breaking the bank will soon be priced out of the market cause the supply of nice clean cars will dry up.
The real SSP enthusiast will in time become upset because his once affordable hobby wont be so affordable anymore. The days of buying and selling cars for the hobby will become cost prohibitive because the sharks drove the price up and over the little guy and into a rich mans hobby.
I kinda reminds me of Harley Davidson in some regards. Wanna bees and flippers bought up all the bikes and jacked up the prices. In the end all the nice iron became overpriced rich mans garage candy never to see sunlight again.
Heck I may be way off the map here but something tells me I'm not that far off.
When I joined this board I was offered a beautiful car by a site member that was just a little out of my price range "According to my wife".
I'm starting to think the car was cheap considering some of the junk Iv'e seen out there.
Oh well, enough of my new guy on the board ranting.

Have you tried contacting this guy? It's a pretty unmolested car for the money.

Joe, I agree 110% although the inflation will benefit those who have an SSP already, those who want one to fix or to drive or to restore (NOT to flip) will be out in the cold.

Hey Joe, welcome first of all. Second, you are right on point! Unfortunately, my first and only ssp so far was a roller but that's the only way I could afford one. It's not "solid" as you speak of and not original by any stretch. I guess it depends on how bad you want in.. The cars are still out there but most are over priced because of the publicity. You will find one if you really want one. Good luck.

I can't wait to see a Louisiana car pop up, I think it would be even more rediculous under the same circumstances. 2c

Joe,
I would NEVER sell my car unless I had to...It runs great and tonight I had it at a local car show with WHR44, his FHP car is a marked unit and both cars drew much attention. I can honestly tell you that it's turn key and the only thing left to do is install the equipment. I have all the equipment as well...please check my prior post as I was looking for a stick marked unit to go with this unmarked car. Unfortunately, my wife lost her job and I have to sell the car. I will purchase another one once we get squared away. In my opinion its cheaper to buy a car thats finished rather than buying one that needs work, just my 2 cents. That is unless you have the skills to do the labor yourself but even then it can get costly. Jim Y. or Gary SSP will attest to what the car is. I just registered for Carlisle in June, I will be taking it there if it does not sell locally. I also know WHR44 had an Arizona car he is thinking about selling to start on another FHP he has that needs lots of work. PM him if you are interested I think he wants $8500 and he got that car from Jim Y. as well. Its a 5 Speed and is not junk and I would say is a 5 footer.

Brandon,

If I were you, I'd take some good pictures and put the car on eBay to see where it goes. Raising the price here, after telling everyone you would sell for 10K, probably wasn't the best idea, either.

Good luck with the sale and please post any further updates in the FS thread I moved into the For Sale section here. Thanks,

Where in the rules does it say how long you have to watch your mouth? The shit is getting deep! Move this to the "anything goes" forum!
