Good to hear...keep us posted on what you find out. Also, shoot me the VIN if you want so I can include it in the project we are working on here.

I almost bought that Frisco car myself.....and am glad you picked it up. It is a rare one for sure especially with the vinyl interior. I hope you can get it back in running order as it is a neat car.

Looking forward to getting to know you all as I am new to the forum. My father (Fred) and I have an 1985, what we beleive to be an unmarked SSP, Mustang that we bought in 1988 from an ex- PA detective that was never used in service. I am in the process of trying to validate it so that I can restore it.
Best, Clay Johnson |

Welcome to the site. Is your car an AOD by chance?

Clay, a "package car" is a factory-optioned police package vehicle. A police package car could be anything from a Crown Vic, Charger, B4C Camaro, SSP Mustang, etc.
If your car is a SSP, then it would have a 6-digit DSO number listed on the door's VIN sticker. All SSP's have a 6-digit DSO, but not all 6-digit DSO cars are SSP's. Ford built regular cars and were sold with 6-digit DSO's. Your car's Buck Tags on the radiator support may contain useful information. The restoration info linked on our main page should help you identify your car. An AOD is an automatic transmission with overdrive. Post up some pictures when you can...

Interesting, our car has a four-digit DSO...
"Larger orders have been seen filled via different 4 digit DSO numbers, and the numbers also varied when batches of cars with different options were ordered, such as with the 1993 Florida Highway Patrol's unmarked cars." Hopefully ours is not fake. It is a 5 speed transmission. Ours was definately unmarked and not used in service (we bought it in 88 with 3k on it). I will work on getting some photos uploaded and a full description of the car's options/ features. off the top of my head, it has: stabilizer braces underneath stainless steel exhaust hurst shifter trunk quick release button 140 certified speedo 3.08 rear no emission control system undercoating with blue ford logo plugs dead pedal |
