I bought the '84 while my '88 was in for paint and started doing a very small part of the work on it. Got a bit discouraged with the way the car had to be set up in order to pass CA smog and decided that I ultimately wouldn't be happy the performance so I passed the car on to Kevin M. at In-Pursuit and they put it into the beautiful shape as it appears in the first photo. In retrospect, I think I gave up too easily on that car. There just aren't that many nice early SSPs left and IMO they will indeed become some of the most desirable examples to collect in the long run.

I believe the four eyed cars are the ones that will eventually bring the big dollars.

far fewer survivors.

Nice.

I like the 4 eyes better (which I guess is why I have so many).

Mac I noticed that the area around the headlights is painted black. Is that correct? Shouldn't be body color? Also who makes the seat covers in the correct blue like the white 84 you had?

Black in correct for the headlight buckets. In-service photos for MPD '84s:





Not sure what the status is on availablity of OEM style seat covers, try doing a forum search. The fabric is still available (but costly) to have a local trim shop do a recover.
