Exclamation 18 Police Mustangs in IN!

Check it out here:

http://www.themustangnews.com/fomoco...indiana116.htm

I was just driving through Indiana the other day when I picked up my SSP... good thing I didn't see one! If I had, I'm almost certain the officer wouldn't have known how to respond to one question. That question being, "would you mind if I take a picture of this?" It would have been good to see an original SSP with a 2008 Mustang GT police car together in the same picture... old and new!

I'll have pictures up from my car at Indy in Indiana soon!

Very nice....I wish Ford would have put out another Special Service Mustang after CHP tested the new '05-up body style.

Did you get to take your car out at Indy??

Unfortunatly, I didn't get to drive it on the track. They let me roam everywhere except the pit area and the track. I'm working on getting pictures from my whole trip up, so I will be sure to make a post when I do! It's taking me a while because I'm debating on making a mini website for it or just using a photobucket or something like that...

Yep.. the CHP will only buy a car if it has a "Police Package" option. O well.

The Indiana Mustangs aren't package cars.....just regular GTs with emergency equipment added.

speaking of mustang police cars......

I am putting a quote together for my agency to purchase three "specialty" vehicles for our traffic unit. I convinced them to look at Mustang GT's and Dodge Chargers. Being the supervisor in charge of the unit I get one of the cars myself.

The Hemi is a beast...however if I can convince them to stay with a Ford Product I will enjoy driving my 08 Mustang GT at work.....
