1989 Texas Highway Patrol SSP Mustang

I bought this car a few months ago and have not had time to post any pictures, so enjoy. BTW: On the door I have a piece of electrical tape covering up the words "Highway Patrol"

i was going to say thatd be a sick car to do some major performance stuff. "cant run from the 5.0"!

But that thing is way to clean to mod....or the perfect platform. what are your plans?

5 speed in a cop car? that's pretty sweet!

All of my buddies want me to put a cage in it and build a nice heads and cam motor but it is nice having an all stock car you can just hop in and cruise. The car is almost to nice to drive. Most of the brackets/headers/wheels and some other stuff are all powdercoated. All of the suspention and interior was out of a 30k mile ssp car. The doors close like they should. No rust! But who knows....Maybe one day I might get an itch. After all, it is only a 5.0 ;-)

I used to have one of those.... Except mine was painted over and stripped of the good stuff. Made a fun first car though... Sold it this past year and my daily for my new car. Yours is a lot cleaner than mine. Only thing different was my trunk release was on the left side of the column and not the right.

Yeah, my uncle had a florida state trooper car he turned into a roadrace car. I remember going for a ride in it at summit point when I was younger and ever since then I wanted one. I knew I wanted a 2-tone and I was never really a fan of the lightbar so when I found this flattop car, I was all for it. Also having lights on the roof took 7mph off the top speed :burnout:

Where did you pick that up from if you don't mind me asking. A buddy in town just sold one identical to that not to long ago.

Sweet ride! Did you get that off Ebay by any chance? I thought I saw one on there just like this car.

Yup. Drill a good sized hole and mount the bracket. You can find them for about 150 bucks new.

Yes, I traded a guy my 1988 saleen plus cash.
