I had posted some the other day, so didn't want to be "that guy" dropping the same pic of his uninteresting primered notch every couple days... BUT here she is !How about pics of the rest of the car?
Tough crowd. Just sharing some MY cool stuff.. if YOU don't like it - what's the point of commenting that you don't think its worth commenting? Oh well, thanks for the comment!So......it's a 5.0 that has been ridden hard and put away wet with about 800,000 miles/ 4 million hours of idling. Is this about the heavy duty steering rack and oil cooler that is now 30 years old? What makes special services cars special?

Anyhow, I got two notches for $2000 one titled one not. That story. The one I showed is the '88 has no title, but has 5-lug/4 wheel disc conversion, built 8.8, LTs, 17x9s. Agreed, nothing special as I was just going to use the guts to throw on a clean '92 4 cyl. But since it's an SSP, I may just keep it and play with it.
I got a cop car basically for free - that's pretty cool to me.
Oh - and, it has a sweet HD power steering rack.
It may not be a 'cop' car, ssp cars where used in different scenarios, they had them in the air force for pulling gliders type planes down the runway, that's what I read years ago, a 'cop' car will have several things unique like the speedometer will say calibrated on the face and a few other things I can't remember.
@FoxChasis may know more facts and if you go to foxchasis.com you can decode the buck tag or vin.
Busting people's balls is what I do best. I'd say you got your money's worth just selling the wheels. Speaking of which, I know someone interested in the 5 lug conversion. Having a decent set of wheels and tires is a huge plus. Shoot me a PM if you want to ditch some of the 5 lug stuff. And hey, a title is just scraping a vin tag out of one dash and sticking it in another.

Thanks, you always come through with good infoKF201528 is an unmarked Florida Highway Patrol SSP
Haha, we have very similar humors. I say what people won't. Still a bit new to the site, and getting used to everyone. But I appreciate that candor and honesty as thats the same level I operate on and see us becoming good buddies
BUT - can't part with that 5-lug... Thanks for the offer. Really that, and the wheels are why I made the drive in the first place. I said "even if they're both duds I can part my way out of it".
KF201528 was originally an unmarked FHP. It was painted white, per the 9L paint code on the buck tag. It was not two-tone (Cream and Black) FHP colors.JDSpeed said:... found Florida Highway Police specific colors on the car (under qtr glass, in trunk etc), as well as holes in the dash drilled for the radio, two holes for 2 throttle cables(one for VASCAR radar detector)
DSO 24 (Jacksonvile FL district sales office) does not always mean the car was ordered from a dealer in Florida or used in Florida. At least one DSO 24 SSP was used in a county in Georgia.JDSpeed said:DSO-24-0202 designates FL use)

Wasnt I the one getting the bad rap for busting people’s balls?Busting people's balls is what I do best. I'd say you got your money's worth just selling the wheels.

I completely agree. That would be cool.Super cool, this would be one that I would commit to returning to original. Definitely work on securing the title.
