Smile Done !!

going to sunny south Georgia on saturday to bring home a 91 GSP. It took some quick negotiation and teamwork to get it bought but it turned out perfectly. I had been after this one for about three weeks and then the car got listed and the seller got swamped with offers. Props to Vincent for being a stand up guy and also to Justin for the mad dash to get the car. Steak dinner on me !

This one has a quite a lengthy history with the patrol and then was turned over to a state university in Georgia. It wasn't sold to the public by the State of Georgia until 2005. It has been stored since then and alledgedly has 121k miles. Car has some new engine parts on it, all original body panels, no crashes history, has the door vin label, both buc tags, cert speedo and a faded interior. I have a bunch of the e-stuff for the car already so I am ahead of the game on this one. There is some original GSP paperwork with the car and I will be contacting the university to see what records they may have. The price was excellent given the condition and originality of the car.

Lastly I am done buying cars. I can hear a few of you laughing already but seriously...( and EVIL feel free to sticky this post)......This is the exact car I wanted to complete my collection. A good solid unmolested GSP car to bring back to life. Next month I will go pick up the 83 car and close this chapter on my project.

Here is a picture for now. I will post more Sunday after getting back to the house.

Thumbs up

Jim, congrats on completing the collection. I know a while back you were going to break it up and sell some off, I'm glad you changed your mind!

yeh the GT500 sidetracked me a little. It didn't take me long to realize I wanted to get back on track. Now I will put them away and cover them up and work on one at a time. It will be a long time before they are all done. I know there are those that don't think I will ever get them all done but we shall see.

That's interesting, a college using a marked Mustang police car. Neat history there.

The collections done huh? Hmmm I think I recently heard about a former marked Wyoming Hwy Patrol SSP sitting in a barn in Nebraska. Been sitting there since the owner bought it from the state.

Eric it's funny you say that because I know someone who has actually located 3 Wyoming cars. It could be an interesting summer.

Congrats and thankfully the madness is over. (at least for a little while).

Seriously....glad you found the GSP. I know the problems with the other one kept you from really enjoying it (especially the color issue), so I'm glad you have one to start from scratch with.
