Thanks for the warm welcome (jarhed too). I've had a crash course this past week in learning about the SSP's. Although I have zero interest in returning the car to active-duty status, I would bring the car back to its post-auction appearance. After redoing the interior, my next order of business would be finding a set of the original wheels. I could always paint the 10-holes like on latter-year SSP's, but I'd prefer to find an original set. Then I'd fix the bodywork. It should be a fun car, which I could use as an occasional daily driver.

I'll post up once I bring it home.

Sounds like a good plan...the center caps are probably going to be harder to find than the wheels, though.

Always good to see another one surface.

Welcome

This guy has a set of wheels he listed a while back. Not sure if planned on keeping them now. http://www.specialservicemustang.net...ead.php?t=1020

As Mike (ImEvil1) said the center caps are the hardest to find. Usually run up to around $200 just for the caps. You can get a set of escort caps cheap and modify them. http://www.specialservicemustang.net...read.php?t=398

Thanks for the tips on the wheels. I saw that ad and already printed it out (to show the seller as a legitimate bartering prop). Ah, the excitement surrounding the possible purchase of another Stang has my head spinning. I just don't know where I'll park the darned thing. The 2-car garage already has two Stangs in it, and there's 2 trucks parked in the driveway. Maybe I can squeeze 3 vehicles onto the driveway pad. :-P At least my wife is supportive!

I plan to hopefully finalize things with the seller in the next day or so. Then I'll need to insurance it and get the car licensed (hope it passes DMV inspection!).
