DESCRIPTION
-Blue with White doors and Royal Candian Mounted police (RCMP) Livery, Blue Upholstery with Matching Blue Carpeting, 5.0 Liter EFI V8, 5-Speed Manual gearbox, 40,000 Miles from new. 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.
