1989 Texas Highway Patrol SSP Mustang

[BigDan]

Nice find. Did you find it n ssp.com?

I wish I could afford a nice SSP. There was a really nice blue USPS one in San Diego 6 months ago for $5k. I wish I had the money at the time.

I think a cage and bolt on's would be compliment it well.

Enjoy it, and be careful and if you decide to ever sell it in the future don't forget to send me a message.

Ok, I tried sending you a private message on here but it wont allow me due to your post. Can you email me at [email protected]... Just wondering if you have any photos of the car? I have no plans of selling it unless I come across a 1993 cobra r.

1988Bullitt did an awesome job with that car, I saw the before,during, and after pics of it.

Do you still have pics of it? I would like to have them. Sending you a message as well

Here are a few, I will send you more info through a PM.

Below is what the car looked like when I picked it up as a roller in Michigan in 2005. It has a pretty bad black and white re-spray the had some serious orange peel and was flaking off due to bad prep. Texas DPS had painted this car blue before they sold it at auction.

The interior was a gobbled mess of spray painted and mis-matched pieces, and the wiring was a disaster:

The car sat for about a year before I had a chance to restore it, here is the teardown:

Paint:

Equipment install:

Completed (keep in mind the owner after me took this car from presentable to MCA gold) so if you think it looks good here, you have to see it in person now. Since these pictures were taken the car has been completely re-sprayed with the correct white (the fleet color had a little tint of yellow, I made the mistake of painting it the standard white off the bucktag), new 30k mile donor car interior, new wheels / tires, permanently marked, all new carlite glass, etc, etc. The equipment in this car is also all correct and was very hard to find.

It would be really nice for this car to end up back in your hands Aaron. It was the first one you did and has sentimental value. I hope the car comes home.

Wow.. The internet really is a useful tool. I would of never known how much work really went into restoring this car. I can tell you between my dad and I, this car is in a great collection. Once I get a email from you, I will send you more photos!

You will have to bring this to the mustang show in OCMD. Usually falls on a Saturday. Someone needs to beat out that woman with the GA State police car.
