Questions from a newbie
 

Is it hard to find a SSP Mustang ? marked/non marked ?
Is it credible to built a SSP from a conventional Mustang ?
What budget for the purchase ? for the resto ?
Can we find easily the accessories ?
Thanking you

I would think you could find one that has a lot of the parts if not all of them in the classifieds HERE

The restoration is only dictated by how complete and attention to detail you are with every piece of the restoration. You could find one already restored but you will pay a premium for it. There are many cars out there that are cloans of SSP's now but only a true SSP will bring any $$$ in the future and also you would be able to say this is a TRUE SSP that has seen service on the streets of ???????...

Since you're going to have to import a mustang into France and pay major shipping fees. I would definitely buy a real SSP instead of a regular coupe. Buying a restored one will cost you more money up-front. But it may be cheaper in the long run. There are plenty of fox body parts around, but the shipping cost of nit-picky parts to France, could make it unfeasible. If you have bought parts from the US, you know what to expect.

Also there are a few restored SSP's around. But not all of them are 100% correct. Most of the time it's lack of information and sometimes just not caring. It really depends on your preference.

The '85 CHP Matt has for sale is not completely restored, but the police equipment is included. That is another thing that is a pain to find. You will have to put some time into it but it's good for the money. http://www.specialservicemustang.net...read.php?t=901

thanks. Predator20, with 1€ for 1.40US$ the deal is now very interesting ! When I buy parts from the US all the fees are balanced by the rate of exchange ... http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repo...ntent/0050.gif
What I love in the restoration is precisely to do or redo things, and more precisely the minor details...
Andy: nice bill !

Welcome to the site! These guys are the best about sharing information and have helped
me allot with my 85 SSP/CHP Car! also.... I drove a Peugeot 205 all over Europe in
1990 and even made it back to the Rental car station at Charles de Gaulle International
Airport! without hitting anyone!.I like Paris. I can half park in the sidewalk and it's ok!
Also are they still running
Yellow headlights in France? AND Where in France are you!

WOW really cool pictures:cool: i know everyone here likes seeing them!
if you have been following along on This Site about how members with
Marked cars drive them... to and from the shows or short neighborhood trips.
then you know that.
Here in the States we cover the P O L I C E markings and lights so as not
to be confused with actual operating police agency's But in France WOULD THE
LOCAL POLICE have a problem with someone driving a Big American Crown Vic
fully marked (but not masked) CHP Car as seen in the last photo. in other words?
does common sense prevail in that.
One....This is a Big American Car In France (and not a Renault)
Two....This is France and not California U.S.A (so this must be a restored/display) car

so what are the rules about this activity? can i send over my Restored CHP Mustang
and drive it around on Holiday? (Holiday means Vacation for you American types on
here) See.....and you thought your English was bad:doh:

One more Question........any T5 Mustang's in the line up of early cars AND or what are some of the DSO Codes
on these cars??
