In 1982, Ford tossed police forces the keys to specially-prepared
Fox-body Mustangs-the car that, according to old Ford
advertisements, chased Porsches for a living. It was called the
Mustang SSP, short for Special Service Package. While the majority
of these cars ended up patrolling American highways, a few-32, to
be exact-wound up in the hands of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
(RCMP). This is one such example.
The SSP package was essentially a notchback Fox-body LX with a host
of upgrades to toughen it up for municipal use. Upgrades included
an engine oil cooler, silicone radiator hoses and aircraft-style
clamps, 130- or 135-amp heavy-duty alternators, reinforced floor
pans, and for those with automatic transmissions, a transmission
fluid cooler. The five-speed manual paired with its fuel-injected
5.0-liter V-8 engine produced a hefty 225 horsepower and 300 lb-ft
of torque, enough to have a prayer at keeping up with those
reckless enough to evade pursuit. This SSP is a 1989 model-year
example, proudly sporting the RCMP blue and white livery. The
patrol lights are still affixed to the top of the vehicle. The
radio, sirens and lights all still all function!
Added items include: A decoy Remington 870 pump-action shotgun,
Mobile phone, Handheld radio, First Aid Kit, Roof Mounted Patrol
light "Out Of Service" covers, RCMP Special
Hat/Jacket/Pants/Boots/Mag Lite, Full Size Spare, Factory Jack and
Trophy from 2021 MCA National Show.
Additionally this SSP pony car was one of just four SSP Mustangs
delivered for the Saskatchewan force. The listing traces the SSP to
Corporal Brad Popowich, who was the officer originally assigned to
it. Corporal Popowich, if you're reading this, we've found your
trusty steed.
