I have to wonder if the OP is really just venting since there is a following and he doesn't understand or seems to not want to understand when people pass over his car and walk over to the "cool copcar". Historical significance of any vehicle can be made. However, we here know it is more popular to find an SSP with some form of historical significance and restore it to the agency and enjoy the hobby of both the performance of the car and honor the duty that the car served. Interesting read Bill.

I agree with you GSPI!!!

Bill... Thanks for bring this to our attention. I was being pulled over buy the SSPs when I was younger and dumber !! I just remembering them being so cool. I remember seeing them on the transports going to Austin, never knowing that they would be offered for sale to the public. I recall talking to a Tx DPS trooper and saying to him that I'd love to own one and he said it will never happen, that was in 1984 and I was in high school. I think for alot of us it's remembering the past , the rare history and it being just so cool. Plus the responsibility of owning a marked SSP is great and not for the average Mustang owner.
I know it may sound stupid on my part, but my SSPs are like Shelbys to me, rare, low production numbers, super history and a great investment. I've owned many rare Ram Air IV GTOs and Judges when I was younger and have seen the market rise and fall .... But the rare cars always hold their own no matter how the market moves and SSPs are one of those cars.

Many, perhaps Most (but cetainly not All) Mustang people love the SSP Mustangs. A good way to demonstrate that is as follows. Fox Mustang Magazine just posted up pictures from the article they featurned in their last magazine of my Michigan State Police SSP. Both of the posts they have made to their Facebook page with pictures of it have WAY more "likes" than any other Mustang picture they have posted to their Facebook page, period. This isn't to brag, but it is a fact. I think the aforementioned pretty much speaks for itself on the topic of the SSP Mustang.

I agree about the magazine fb page. I think I posted a pic of my 85 CHP all torn apart and it got atleast double what the other cars got.
