Here's a good one for you!! I recently told you
I was looking for a New York State Police Mustang to restore, well I just
bought my best FHP Mustang back from the guy I sold it to in 1997. It is a
1990. I bought it from the auction in Deland back in 1993. It was the nicest
one I have ever seen period. I bought it with 68,000 miles it now has
72,000. I sold it to a guy from NJ in 1997. Just so happens he is looking
for a NYSP Camaro and found one. Called me up and I bought it back. I
regreted selling the car from day one, but I was building a house and needed
money badly at the time. The car is all original and I even have the window
sticker(laminated), service records, the exterior and interior are factory
fresh. The car was actually pictured in Muscle Mustang, back in 1996 or
thereabouts, I need to dig it up.
P.S. I don't know if you know this fact in 1993 when I purchased 6 1990 FHP
Mustangs. The FHP had warranty cards in the car for coverage up to 100,000
miles or seven years. They actually sold the cars prematurely, I found this
out from the man who was in charge of surplus. They were suppose to keep the
cars to 100,000 miles, but forgot about the extended warranty. So the end
result I got an awesome 68K mile car. I transferred the warranty into my name
for $ 50.00 and my Ford dealer hooked me up with many free service items
including rear main seal leak, new clutch and throw out bearing, and the list
goes on. It most surely worked out well for me on
this purchase.
