Looking at a 1991 SSP Need Help

It does have the buck tags but I could not see the I.D. numbers. It has an "X" pipe with an aftermarket exhaust (which I am not to happy with) but that can be changed. He wanted $8900 and I got him down to $7500... Is that too much? The car has no rust but it has been re-painted, (Maaco job) so there are some holdays with that... All the panels are original... I am just curious what the average price is for a car like this... Thanks, Al

Evil is right on about jpargo's car. It is beautiful. I owned it for short time and can attest to the quality of the car. It is basically a turn key car ready for the show circuit. Not wanting to hijak the thread but for the money you would be ahead to at least talk to jon about the car.

Al,
welcome to the site !
I agree with these guys on John's car it's killer ...
As far as the one your looking at i also agree ! If you like it go for it ...it looks good in the pics ..maybe just replace the carpet as it looks stained a bit ..
good luck .

The person tha you are talking about that has his car for sale... Where is he and who is he? What year ishis car? I am open to suggestions... I looked at the carpets and they could be cleaned up they are in decent shape like you said just stained. Thanks..

The car looks real nice in the photos. I just have one minor comment...I don't think that those seats came with that car from the factory. They are GT seats as far as I know. I know my '90 LX convertible had them stock, but coupes?

The GT/LX 5.0 seats came in quite a few government ordered cars. They were optioned out a little better than the standard SSP.

I wish I had those seats in my SSP. The seats I have are SOOO uncomfortable! I don't know how an officer could sit in those all day long.

I've seen some (in person, in-service) in '91 cars. None prior to that. I don't think it had anything to do with how they were optioned....but it'd be interesting to see a window sticker for one.

What about it not having the single key? It uses the standard 2 key system. I would like to change it over t the single key and also put the black power coated wheels on it... Like I said other then the paint and the obnoxious exhaust it is really tight. I also own a 1984 LTD LX with the old 5.0 V-8 since 1990. I love the Fox cars. This SSP has never had anything mounted inside. It is, with the exception of the carpet being a bit stained and the paint not being top quality, in good shape.

Single key was an option.

Personally, I'd spend the extra $1500 and buy the Santa Clara car. It is pristine.
