That is entirely up to you. Most members here prefer that SSP Mustangs be restored/preserved/maintained. Your local laws will dictate if your area allows restored police vehicles to be operated on the road. Florida is one state that prohibits vehicles from being painted/operated in FHP colors. You would likely need to cover up any police markings/lights regardless of your location, and/or trailer the car to shows. But a SSP does not need to be restored to in-service condition IMO for it to be saved. I had a 1985 CHP Mustang that I had painted all-black in order to use it as an occasional driver. I really enjoy driving these cars (and doing research). Others are excited about the hunt for a rare find. Some are into doing the hands-on restoration of these cars. There are many ways to enjoy SSP Mustangs! :D

Congrats! Looks like a nice car! ;)

I agree with Bill, as long as you're driving and maintaining it, that's the main thing. Which way you want to go with it is really up to you. Most guys either restore it back to in service condition or mostly stock. But we also have some that restomod them....but as long as it's being maintained and being saved....the legacy will be safe.
