Higher amp alternators were an available option on the 1987 - 1993 Special Service Package Mustangs, but not every agency ordered them. I've seen more SSPs without them, than with.Did the mustangs that were used for state patrol cars come with a higher amperage alternator? If so how much and how can you tell the differance between the two?
Silicone hoses and oil coolers were also options available on the SSP. Not all SSPs got them.No other differences other than the blue silicone hoses and an oil cooler on the engine.
Do you run the normal Fl-1A filter or the shorter FL-400S?? If it's the 1A, you prob have a normal 5.0 driveline
My SSP came with the Lestek, its gone now but the regulator is still bolted to the inner fender, Blue hoses, no oil cooler, relocated trunk release, the obligatory hole in the dash and a pillar, single key and a few other things I am sure.
It is kinda funny some of the things that some SSPs have that others don't.
Police package vehicles have more options available than the regular production cars. These options are also available individually, rather than in grouped option packages. So it is possible to come up with a lot of different option combinations.It is kinda funny some of the things that some SSPs have that others don't.
Roll bars weren't a factory option. A few agencies put in aftermarket roll bars for added officer safety.Mine didn't come with a LOT of things...it was an unmarked car so there were no search lights, no roll bar, no holes in the dash or A pillar but it does have some in the trany hump/floor where a shotgun holster once resided

Oddly enough, the popular A-pillar spotlights weren't installed at the factory like other police package vehicles. Because of the Mustang's relatively skinny A-pillar, Ford refused to install the spotlights. They feared it would weaken the pillar, and it might colapse in a roll-over accident, opening Ford up to liability lawsuits. Spotlights were installed by the agencies' own upfitters. Maybe this is why some chose to install roll bars too.
Kentucky State Police was one of the agencies that put roll bars in their SSPs. I guess Louisville PD didn't follow the state's lead.Hmmm...i always assumed mine didn't have a bar because it was older...that's good info. I wish it had both
Some rental car companies did have 5.0 Mustangs. Those would also show up as fleet vehicles.Just curious but how would you tell if you had an ex police car as your stang. cuz the carfax on mine says it was sold in an auction as a fleet vehicle b4 i bought it and i can't really think of anything else you would use a mustang for.
