Finally found a notch!
And it's an SSP to boot! I've been reading through this site since I found it, getting really excited about it. After almost 4 months of looking for a good mustang, I found a good looking notch. It's an old Florida Highway Patrol car, believe it was unmarked vice regular paint scheme, with original wheels and great interior. Engine has trick flow heads, edelbrock intake, and a lunati cam and has been converted to a T5 from the auto. Was only able to find a couple tiny drops of oil on the engine, coming from the front pan drain plug and a very little bit under the pulley right above that. A/C is still in the car, just needs to be charged, and some of the smog system still remains, just not the smog pump and some of the vacuum bits. There's very little to no rust on the bottom of the car, just light stuff here and there, no large patches. It's got off road H pipes on it now, do you guys think I can just replace that with a catted one and get it through Virginia's emissions? There was also a bit of bubbling in some paint above the LX trim piece behind the driver's side front fender. The oil drops and bubbling were the only things I saw wrong with the car, it drove straight, and accelerated and braked well with no pulling to either side. Don't think I got taken too bad, considering its a notch and its SSP history (I'm not awesome at negotiation), I got him to what I decided my max was.
How hard is it to adjust the clutches in these things? Any ideas where I could run the VIN or door stickers to find out the unit number, etc? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! Post up some pics when you can. I'll let other members chime in who are more knowledgeable about the FHP cars.

+1, and welcome to the forum.
You didn't say what year your car is (unless I missed it), but they are either screwed on or stapled on, and I'd leave them on unless they are about to break in half.

The ones on your car are pretty hard to see...typically visible from the top looking down (unless you pull the headlight).
