Wow Real deal 1985 Ford Mustang Ssp documented California Highway Patrol Car. Factory ordered Ssp black - white patrol car. 5.0l 5spd with Ac. Rare Car...... $16,900 Trades?

The buyer painted the roof (no comment) and doors, and marked the car. Wish they had interior shots to see how they handled the CHP equipment I included with the car.

Oh my......my, my ,my....

And the asking price?? Wow....yet another flipper.

Wow, why couldn't they get that c-pillar break correct (or even way closer)? It's not like there isn't a million good reference photos out there. Answer: lazy, in a hurry or both.

Looks like a full complement of M-Squad decals on it. The bumper sticker is a stretch, those were issued on all the new '87s and most '88s (or so).

Exactly what I was thinking....sooooo easy to just google an image or look here. I just don't get it.

And of course wrong wheels.

It's on EBay now. Has details listed. Like many here I appreciate the car but IMHO better to get details correct. I appreciate the hard work but I just like closer to original. No knock on beautifully restored cars (they amaze me), it's just that even new, our cars never looked like show cars. I decided when I restored mine to keep it as close to original as I could. Even the paint is low bid just as we got'em from Ford (LOL) The best compliment I ever got was one I overheard at a show "I thought they didn't have these anymore. Where's the Officer? I want to ask him some questions " Just my two cents

[28HopUp]

Although the car is still listed on CL, the eBay ad says they accepted a "Best Offer". Who knows???

Very nice 1985 CHP Mustang that has been restored and upgraded. Engine has been rebuilt with E7 cylinder heads, a .030 overbore (306 cubic inch) with a CompCams 266R cam, 1.7 roller rockers, JBA headers, and an Edelbrock carduretor. McLeod heavy duty clutch. Transmission has been upgraded with a Cobra unit as well as larger Cobra brakes. Car has a panhard bar and subframe connectors which gives is rigidity and keeps the rear end planted. Currently, the car has a smog pump delete setup.

The black portion of the car was painted in 2010, the white was painted in early 2014 with new correct decals.

Inside, the seats and headliner are nice originals, the carpet has been replaced. Most of the original CHP equipment is mounted in the car; some of it is not installed. It does not currently have a siren. I have the original in-service license plate for the car. Heater and A/C not operational at this time.

Car runs and drives excellent. The speedometer does not work, but I have a correct complete cluster that goes with the car. Rear deck lights (wigwags) are functional. The front spot lamps are in place but not currently hooked up.

Car is currently in Montana, but I will consider delivery to Salt Lake area for a reasonable amount.

With the car still being in Montana, I believe this is the same person who bough the car from the guy I sold it to (the one who finished "restoring" it! ). I believe this seller has a lot of coin tied up in the car, so he is probably not going to make a huge profit on this sale. No mention of the original wheels that were part of the deal. I like how he got the same vanity license plate that I had on the car - NPRSUIT.
