BACKGROUND ON SPECIAL SERVICE PACKAGE (SSP) MUSTANGS

From 1982 to 1993, Ford produced the Mustang Special Service Package SSP specifically to meet the needs of law enforcement. The customized 5.0 Mustang included special options not available to the public. A speedier alternative to traditional police sedans, it was used for patrol and pursuit. Most remaining Mustang SSPs are restored by collectors or enjoyed by racers.
