I will also contribute to a "good" cause; I will offer up $50 for the purchase....

I find it interesting that the BUC tags are affixed to the top of the radiator support, rather than being in the normal location down below the driver's side headlight like all other SSP's/Mustangs.

Was this a special request by PCSD for the cars they ordered? The BUC tags don't appear that they have been previously moved to that location or tampered with, because neither tag has any prior holes or attachment points visible and both tags are pretty much "flat" without any distortion. I only see a very small indent on the upper right corner of each, which could have been the original mounting point if in the original location on the rad support, but it's hard to really say if that is true or not.

What's the story w/ the location of the BUC tags?

Not sure exactly. My tags were hanging in the typical location with some wire holding it on (which has now been removed as I didn't want the wire to come loose and risk losing them.

Robert has his mounted up top along where the fender meets with the hood/front bumper assembly. And the tags on the car we found are up top and flat. No one knows for sure. Might have been a fleet garage thing - could have been individual owners - we may never know.

I'd be willing to donate 10% too... $40.00...

Anyone know where to look on the engine, tranny and rear end to match up the VIN #s to the car? Any info is appreciated!

I should also add as an update: One of our local SSP guys has family in Denver and is trying to work out a deal to save it. It was converted to a 5 speed at one point (which is what he prefers as well). So while not 100% accurate, could be a good fit for his needs and be able to be saved and brought back. He's working on the details of what can come with the car, price, etc. So keeping my fingers crossed that he closes the loop.

That sounds great...good luck.

Back of the engine where the lower intake valley is above the bellhousing. Basically the flat area inbetween the heads were the little cork gasket goes. The one on the transmission is on the side ofthe case on an edge. I think it is where the transmission and bellhousing bolt together that flange.

Any update?

One of our local PCSD guys was trying to make a save for the car, but has a history of dragging his feet to jump on anything. The seller and he were talking - and working through what came with the car, etc. We have a donor car lined up here in WA for the driveline from a WSP, hood, door, etc.

Drawback is that he's out of room, and doesn't want to take the time to pull parts from one car to the next. And the work involved with saving it. But also knows how rare these are - so he's on the fence.

I think the shipping $$ is also factoring in. Will be about $700 on top of the cost of the shell to bring it back up.

I would be all over this, but I also am out of room, and the wife is not keen on my having a 4th SSP - especially a project like this.

Really do hope someone can save it. Is one of only 2 left out there in private hands that we have not saved. And the maroon color is pretty cool!
