new guy with a rare ssp
 

hello everyone my name is dan im from moore okla. and i have came upon what i think is a pretty rare stang and need some help finding out some info
ok so what i beleave i have is a 1986 okc patrol car but im not certin on that at first i thought it was a ohp car but after sanding some paint off the doors you can see the word police and with the paint sceme it has or had it looks like a okcpd cars do now im just trying to find out as much info as i can on this if you have any info for me please let me know

thanks dan.

My guess is a former Oklahoma Hwy Patrol that was purchased used by a police department.

I don't think I've seen those Ok cars show up much

I think OHP only bought SSP's in 85. I have only seen one and it is lurking still somewhere in Ohio.

Tom

ive never seen one until this one and i know a okcpd officer and he tryed to look it up and found nothing on it

Welcome to the forum!!:D

What are your plans for this SSP? The city may have gotten a couple cars off the state bid(order) for mustangs that year. Or a couple cars went to the city after the highway patrol was done with them.
I know nothing about the Ok. cars haha.

Good luck:thumbsup:

it all depends on how much info i can find so ive found the owners name in 2004 but it lead to a address that is for sale and the car hasent been taged in 10 years so idk im thinking all black for now but we"ll see its a rare bird to mess with it but all that dont matter without solid proof

Well, it's definitely a ssp from the buck tag. The tag says black paint with white doors and roof, and it looks like it says Oklahoma. It may ended its career as a police car, but it most likely started it with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Have you run a CarFax report on it? Many of these cars, like my 93 Missouri State Highway Patrol SSP, ended their in-service career with a local police agency after the state surplused them. The CarFax might offer a clue or two. You should also order a Marti Report too. The bucktag and the special paint would seem to suggest is started with the OHP. Perhaps it started with the OHP and was later used by a local policy agency. Would sure be a cool and rare SSP.

Welcome to the site, Dan.

The info about OKHP only ordering in '85 may be incorrect.

Does your car have an AOD? CAn you post a pic of the doortag, other buck tag, or last 6 of the VIN?

Here is a pic of an in-service unit from our website (the pic above is someone's resto).

:)

cool

Very cool! Can't wait to see more on this one!

Nice find
 

I think you have a rare car there bud. I would definately pursue a Marti report and and DMV info you can gather on past ownership. But the DSO tag says it all really. Hard to argue with it. LOL. I would definately get your VIN number on here for the VIN project. It will tell you watch batch your car came out of and how many cars were in that batch with yours. Good luck!

found the last owner (its good to have friends lol) turns out it was a b-day gift when he was 14 from his dad who is no longer here i guess he had it until his first speeding ticket then his dad took it away there was a report of an accident so im guessin theres more to it than just speeding

heres the other tag and the door sticker

this is the vin 1fabp26m3ff197588 and what is a marti report

marti report
 

here is a link to their website. http://www.martiauto.com/reports2.cfm Basically, a Marti report will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about your car specifically. You send them your VIN number and they work closely with ford to get all the documentation from their archives. They can even make you new tags if they are no longer present. Its pretty cool. I plan on getting one for my car, just to have.

VIN verified
 

I took the liberty of looking up your VIN in the vin project. It looks like your car was built in 1985. There were 34 cars (including yours) in the batch your car was made in. heres a link. http://www.specialservicemustang.net/VINlist/85VIN.html Pretty cool!

thanks man i called ford and no help i also called ohp and less then no help there

Dallas DSO.
Interesting.

yea i seen that it seems to have been around

is there anyone that could do a car fax for me on this 1fabp26m3ff197588

Welcome, and THANK YOU for the pictures! This car is the first Oklahoma SSP added to our VIN Project -

talked more to the p.o. today he doesnt know the dept. that had it but he said when they got it it had all the lights and he might still have a soptlight for it

That OHP in-serivce pic is sharp....this would be a great one to return back to in-service look, for sure. :cool:

all i can do is the paint sceme no lights or any markings

I was thinking this car was setting in the cornor of this guys shop about to be torn down to fix a 91 coupe hmmm i cant wait till i tell him what this car is
