As soon as this car popped up in my daily ebay searches, I thought, "Well, there is the silver one." This should be interesting.

The blue one has still never had its reserve met, right?

Same seller as the Blue. Which I think has been a no sell.
Not to pick on the car but.
passenger side photos make it look like the quarter panel is a different shade.
And that tire shot. Somebody needs to learn how to balance tires(counter balanced) Just loose the weights and use stickies
It also has the Police Alternator ( I think that's what is called) with the external regulator. Was that Standard on ASC's? |

Yeah the alternator is original and correct.

Why does it not have the GT rear bumper cover with the ASC filler panel? It has an LX cover with a bottom skirt.

What a sharp car. I dig the 25th anniversary plaque.
Pics of this car from 2009 after Sandy added the plaques.

I knew that, but It is not the one that comes standard in the Mustangs. They quit using the external regulators after 1985 |

The bidding shot up quickly. Based on where the lower-mileage blue car repeatedly ended, it is probably not going to go up much more . . . unless someone really loves silver cars and is will to pay a premium.

| I spoke to Matt Block about this car just before the current owner bought it. He told me that he and his mother were looking to get $15k for the silver car. Since this guy bought them both, he probably got a little better deal. After shipping cost etc., he should be getting close to breaking even with the current bidding. Will be interesting to see if this one actually sells. |

What's wrong with the wheel weights? That's how Ford did them.

The wheel is counter balanced. The weights are 180 degrees from each other. Should never be 2 weights on one side of wheel unless they are right next to each other. A rookie mistake by a newbie balancing the tire. |

Oh crap. I guess when I looked at it I scrolled just past the weight on the top and didn't see it. You're right of course.
