robertlane Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ford Mustang Police Car Returning For Duty in 2015 Shelby GT350 Forum - Since its discontinuation in 1993, people have been rooting for the return of the Mustang SSP or Special Service Package, which was widely used by police departments. Rumor after rumor has appeared in articles about an upcoming Mustang Police Interceptor and grew after Saleen built the "Barricade" car for the Transformers movie. While Saleen's Barricade was an awesome movie build and still draws attention, a Mustang SSP hasn't come out of Dearborn since 1993. As word around here in Dearborn has grown about a future Mustang SSP based on the 2015's architecture has grown, we decided to pour through Ford's catalogs to see if there was any substance to the to the rumors. What we found was parts listed clearly showing that Ford is indeed plotting a return of the Mustang SSP program and sooner rather than later - we'll mostly likely see a Mustang SSP in mid-2015 with JOB2 alignment. Ford offered Mustangs for police and government usage from 1982 through the end of the fox bodies life in 1993. Specifically built for extended service duty, the Mustangs were all powered by 5.0L engines and featured an engine oil cooler, silicone coolant hoses, a certified calibrated speedometer, a full sized space and other unique features (depending on model year). Ford Mustang SSP Police vehicles are sought after by collectors and have a cult status among the Mustang community. Reporting from Dearborn, Michigan.

Tico Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I remember unmarked blue mustangs used by WI state patrol between Milwaukee and Kenosha in the early 90s. They used to catch speeders left and right with those cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probowler Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Oh man... I just can't get over how ugly those foxbodies were, who knew they made even dorkier police cars? So glad they eventually fixed them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
