First off, welcome to the forum!

There are several known instances where SSP's were ordered but not put into service. In Oregon, most of the "extra" 1988 SSP's were converted into Saleens, and the others were sold off the dealer's lot to the public. There were some New York SSP's that were refused by the agency for being optioned incorrectly, so those were sold to the public as well. I don't recall with any certainty the events around the South Carolina SSP's being sold to the public, so I hope someone else chimes in.

As others have stated, the appeal for many SSP fans is the in-service history that each car holds. The search for documentation becomes its own reward for many. However, the story for some cars will never be known because the records are no longer available. SSP's that have history and documentation will have more value than an "unknown" SSP in similar condition. However, that SSP from South Carolina no doubt holds a slightly higher value than a civilian notchback in similar condition - it's just difficult to put a dollar amount to it.

Good luck, and keep us posted. If you get a chance to take some pictures, please share them with the group. We are collecting pictures of the door VIN stickers, buck tags, window sticker, etc for our VIN project, so we would certainly include this car in the database if we can confirm it to be a SSP.

I ended up buying the car and got it home yesterday,(bought it from my friend who got it from the original owner). I took a few pictures and will follow up with more when the weather is a little nicer.

I love the car completely original and untouched and drives like new.

Congrats on the purchase! Looks like a very nice car.

Sweet ride, and I wouldn't let the lack of having any service history bother you one bit. Nice!

Thanks

I'm new to these cars and just wondering if anyone knows, all the pictures I have seen of the SC cars have black side and door moldings and this one has the color matched. Did the HP changed these moldings or were they normally ordered with the black?

IIRC, all Mustangs in 1993 (including SSPs) came with body-colored moldings.

Body-colored for all starting in '92.

Here are a few more pictures of the car.
