ssp's were the cheapest for several reasons:

fleet sales
usually base models with minimum options
tax breaks
multi unit purchasing IE State Bid....
government agencies took bids for the lowest price per unit from multiple car manufacturers.

PA may have used a mustang in the early 80's, but I bet it was for a promotional purpose, or a car donated. My department currently has a mustang in the fleet. A six cylinder car donated by a local car dealer.
