Fox/SSP bug

[28HopUp]

I had ZERO interest in SSP's until 2008. I kinda thought they were interesting, but never had any interest in owning one. I still remember seeing the 1987 Delaware State Police units on the roads when they ran them (unmarked). In March 2008 I attended a show/race with my 2006 V6 Mustang called Get Out Of The Cold at Maryland International Raceway. Mustang Crazy's GSP car was there and won crowd choice. Again, I thought her car was interesting, but nothing that made me want to go out and find one.

That Fall a SSP found me - my 1985 CHP Mustang. I joined the two SSP forums and started learning about the car. I discovered the unit number and other parts of the car's past, and then decided to make this a fun occassional-driver that honors the car's in-service history.

I've had a great time so far! I have met some great folks along the way (some not-so-great too, I'm afraid), and view the car as an on-going project. It can be frustrating to find the correct equipment, or realize that I paid good money for a part that isn't 100% correct for my SSP. But I will continue to restore the things I can, and keep it going for everyone to enjoy.

I have always loved the Foxbody Mustangs and am especially fond of the coupes in rare colors/options/ or just interesting ones (to me). I had quite a few Mustangs before driving my first SSP about 12 years ago. It was an '84 CHP that the seller bought from auction. I knew little about SSP's and passed on it but was interested in them from there on out. Soon after, I bought the Ford Police Car book with the '82 CHP on the cover and was hooked. The stories and history behind them is just great. I can't wait to get another one!
