I hate to make my first post in this forum a goodbye (I've been "lurking" for years), but I'm ready to sell my baby:

My question: Does a 1993 SSP have any intrinsic value if modded as noted below, or is it basically now just another notchback?
Thanks for any advice here and all the help over the years, the photos, the VIN database, etc.
1993 Mustang 5.0 coupe 5-speed
167,000 miles
Special Service Package (SSP)
Black with opal interior
Daily driver since 1999
Everything works (including A/C); well maintained
OF NOTE:
Former Florida Highway Patrol car
Stripped and painted ($4,500 job): February 2013
Engine rebuilt February 2005
MODIFICATIONS:
Gears (3.55)
Torsen T2R differential
Ford Motorsports ceramic coated shorty headers
Stainless X-pipe with cats
Vogtland springs
Full-length subframe connectors (Maximum Motorsports)
MM caster-camber plates
MM panhard bar
Stainless front brake lines
Underdrive pulleys
EXTRAS:
2 extra sets of wheels (original 10-holes on the car; 16x7 pony wheels with caps and 16x8 5-spoke wheels)
Police spotlight (came with the car, but no longer installed)
Original springs, gears (3.08), Trac-Lok differential, air silencer, pulleys
PROBLEM (just being honest here):
Puff of smoke taking off from a stop (classic symptom of leaking valve seals)
But no oil on plugs, and compression in all cylinders is within acceptable range (checked February 2017)
