Default 1988 GSP Unit/Perm #8292 Wrecked in service with 24,909

This is the car I've been after for a long while now. It is GSP Perm #8292 driven by Trooper R.L. Wilcox Badge 799. It was issued to him in Nov 1988. Trooper Wilcox had a frontal impact on January 9th 1989 with 3,820 miles on the odometer. Repairs consisted of right fender and core support. car was out of service from Jan. 9th 1989 until March 7th 1989 while repairs were being made. Trooper Wilcox continued patrolling this Mustang until March 5th 1990. when once again he was involved in another frontal impact. This time with 24,909 miles on the odometer. At this time he was issued a 1989 Mustang (the very first Perm # for the 1989's #9222) which is also in my collection. Trooper Wilcox participated in the A.C.E. program and had 17 Lightning bolts on the drivers door at time of last accident.
The Fleet Manager decided to use the motor and trans out this car in other Mustangs. It was then sold to a dealer around the Cleveland Ga that bought and sold alot of the SSP Mustangs at the time. A few parts were sold off the car. The steering column; tail lights seats and rear end. the rest is mostly intact. It had been sitting in the back of the now inactive junkyard until about a year ago when a friend of mine purchased it and second GSP Mustang.
Upon looking it over after he got, we found something amazing inside. The original GSP "MOTOR VEHICLE REPORT WORKBOOK" or maintenance log as most are called. What is amazing is that these logs were never supposed to leave the filing cabinets except for log ins, then returned. Also there was a fire in that section of HQ years ago and they lost those cabinets in that fire. That is the main reason it was so hard to get info on the GSP SSP's. They simply didn't have it any more. Thank goodness Jimmy Crump (retired Fleet Manager) kept his own records and retired them with him
I'll be posting up pics of the documentation as time permits. I am really excited over the restoration of this unique GSP.

That's great Bobby! You've been working on angling that one for a while. Glad you were finally able to reel 'er in.

Congrats Bobby! I know you wanted that one pretty bad so I'm sure it feels good to finally have it. When restored that will probably be the lowest mile, most documentation GSP out there!

Thanks Brad !
Quite possibly so... I've been looking through Jimmy's records and so far I've not found any Mustangs wrecked with that low of miles. Several CV's and Caprices though...
