Not long after I got my first Mustang, in July 1986 I began to notice the Texas Highway Patrol Mustangs. I was drawn (and still drawn) to the look of the basic Mustang LX. The LX then didn't have all the fancy GT stuff but it still possessed the GT engine and suspension. Everyone here knows what I am referring to. The innocent looking LX that will do the damage of the GT. Anyway, I find that LX look appealing. And so, not long after I got my new '86 GT Mustang I began wanting an LX 5.0 sedan. That day finally came in February 1990 when I got my first LX 5.0 sedan (an '89 model w/11,000 miles on it).
In summation, I suppose it was the aggressive look of the Texas Highway Patrol Mustang but also the simple look of the regular LX 5.0 sedan. I don't know....I just love 'em! This is what made me begin loving the SSP.
