Ford Mustang SSP

The Ford Mustang SSP was a lightweight police car package based on the Ford Mustang and produced by Ford between 1982 and 1993. SSP stands for Special Service Package, a Foxbody Mustang trim made only for law enforcement, meant to give police departments a speedier option than the full-size and heavier sedans on the market. It began in 1982, when the California Highway Patrol asked Ford for a capable, lightweight pursuit car, and Ford modified its 5.0 litre Mustangs to suit. Nearly 15,000 were made for more than 60 law enforcement organizations and government agencies, from general patrol to pursuit and special duties, and many survive with collectors and racers.
