1986 Utah SSP Rescue

[Cobra Jet]

Nice save! I do recall this one, glad you were able to get it.

There’s quite a few threads on here RE: Utah SSP’s and I’m sure a few members here can help out.

Keep posting your progress updates and/or any images here too.

Did you check this part of the site to see if your VIN is in then,ist:

I checked the VIN registry and it’s not in there.

Here are some additional photos with the remaining SSP features that I’ve noticed (speedo and radio interference straps). It does still have holes in the A pillar for spot lights, the roof for the lightbar wiring, and the trunk for the antenna.

Good start, does it still have the custom UHP rear seat cushion cover gun case?

[86UtahSSP]

Unfortunately not! I do like those. Do you happen to know when they started using them? Thanks.

[MOstang]

That I’m unsure, but it seems common with UHP SSPs.

Not much progress on the car. Brakes are almost done. Ended up with reman Ford calipers as the ones on there were rusted solid. Power steering rack is leaking from the passenger side bellow. Looking for suggestions on the power steering rack. Can’t decided on a reman, used OEM, new LMR, or send mine out to Turn One for rebuild. Looking for suggestions based on other members experiences. I’m leaning towards staying closer to stock.
