For sale is a 1991 Mustang Notchback ex-CHP car. It was built to compete in NASA American Iron. With some changes, it could be run in a number of different classes – that’s up to you. There is absolutely no rust on this car. I bought it directly from CA. It has never been in a race, only open track events.

The car was involved in an incident at Road America. Repairs are still needed to the trunk area of the car. There was no contact to or damage to the engine or drivetrain.

Over $20,000 was invested in the build of this car.
Fix it and put it back on the track or part it out.

He has been trying to sell that car for some time.

I live in central Wis. Never seen or heard of this car. Doug

I've seen that ad awhile back. To bad it was done to an SSP:(

I remember though that was the thing to do back then. Buy a cheap Police Mustang and race it. My father and I autocrossed and did some IT racing in the 80's and 90's. They were cheap cars to take racing and looks did not matter. I hate to think of people doing it to them now, but back in the day they were just "old cop cars".

1989 ex-CHP spotted at Laguna Seca in '05:

It was just the thing to do back in the day but luckily there were enough of these cars so that a decent number survived to enjoy a kinder fate.

Unfortunately, sometimes some pretty rare SSPs fell into the racers hands. This example was one of very few that served with a small PD and would have been nice to have been saved and restored.

1988 ex-Morgan Hill (CA) PD spotted autocrossing in '01:

I don't recall exactly how many mods were done to this one but believe it could be returned to stock with the proper amount of effort and funds. After I contacted the owner and got some background on his ride, he kindly donated the pristine passenger seat he had taken from this car to me and part of it lives on as the foam padding in my car's rebuilt drivers seat. :)
