1993 SSP in Indiana

[TWOCARNUTS]

Hello to all.. Found this car and trying to research it... It seems to have an interesting history being that it was ordered as a TEST VEHICLE for Ford according to the Marti report..

[28HopUp]

Welcome to our forum! Thanks for posting a picture. Can you post up a copy of your Marti Report? We will add your SSP to our VIN Project (the link is on the right side of our main page).

[TWOCARNUTS]

I will try to attach it.. wouldnt let me earlier..

[TWOCARNUTS]

Also ran a CarFax on it today.. Found that it was in Ford's hands for 4 years.. They didnt sell it until 1996...and it had 1,600 miles on it then.. Crazy.

Thanks for posting up a picture of your Marti Report. You were smart to buy the Deluxe version because it included the test vehicle information that may not have been listed in the Standard version. I went ahead and added your car to our VIN Project:

If you end up with a better picture of the Marti Report, post it up and I will replace the present one. Also, if you have pictures of the VIN label and Buck Tags we can add them to the page for your car. That's a nice find! :)

[TWOCARNUTS]

Will do on the buck tags and door data tag.. thanks for including me in the site..

Thanks... looking forward to finding out more info on it... crazy that it was literally in my town for the last 13 years... the people I bought it from considered it "part of the family" I know the feeling...LOL...

Nice looking car. Looks like you are a little of a Foxbody Mustang nut. I see that nice looking yellow 'vert in the garage and the GT hatch in you icon pic. Thanks for posting.

[28HopUp]

Thanks for posting.

I agree! Good luck with your car.

I'm always amazed at what pops up in my town. I like to drive around on my lunch hour and "mustang hunt". LOL! My fiance thinks I'm crazy.

[TWOCARNUTS]

You know...I guess there were 628 SSP's built in 93 I wish there were someway to find out the breakdown by color of these rare rides....there were 519 Bright Calypso Green Clearcoat Metallic coupes built that year I just wonder how many were SSP's??

[MOstang]

You car is coming along great! Love the color, by the way.

I don't know the answer to how many, so just asking as I'm curious where the number is derived. What is your 628 SSPs for 1993 number mentioned above based upon? Thank you!

[TWOCARNUTS]

I found those posted on line as well as in Sesslers "Mustang Red Book" which has production numbers in it..

[TWOCARNUTS]

Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords also published the info..November 2010 issue.

[TWOCARNUTS]

Updated pic...paint coming off well...

[MOstang]

great progress!

[TWOCARNUTS]

Goal is to have it ready for this upcoming show season....Gonna try to hit a few midwest events and Indy for sure...

[TWOCARNUTS]

Paint on the SSP...

[MOstang]

Looks nice...cool/uniquie color. :cool:

[stadair]

Ooo, shiny... What color is that?

[MOstang]

Ooo, shiny... What color is that?

I believe it is called Calypso Green.

[TWOCARNUTS]

Indeed Calypso Green Metallic...

[TWOCARNUTS]

Few new ones....

[MOstang]

It's really coming along nicely and quickly.

[TWOCARNUTS]

It is...the gang at Straightline are tearing it up...

[MOstang]

Have you used them before? And do they do a lot of this sort of thing with collector type cars? This sort of work isn't something every body shop is interested to take on. Thanks.

[TWOCARNUTS]

I have used them before...they did my 93 Yellow Feature 7 years ago...they dont do a bunch of "Resortation" projects mostly late model and new fixes. But they have a state of the art facility and probably handle 2 or 3 major resto's a year.....

[TWOCARNUTS]

Some update pics..

[stadair]

Nice! Itching to get mine to that stage.

[TWOCARNUTS]

Finally home...reassembly begins..

[nighthawk756]

[John Connor]

[MOstang]

[chp1982]

From one Calypso owner to another, that thing is beautiful!

[kapracing]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[TWOCARNUTS]

Thanks to all...it was alot of work and some busted knuckles but well worth the effort...honored to own it...

[chism]

2 rare birds there. Dare I say the SSP is rarer? Lol.

[NoDrama43]

nice !! I really like the cobra too.

[nighthawk756]

I love the ponies but I'd definitely stick with the stockers. ;)

It's looking great with the new paint! Congrats!!

[TWOCARNUTS]

You are right...the SSP is quiet a bit "rarer"....glad to have em both though...

[TWOCARNUTS]

Well finally got to take the "madien" voyage today...stopped by the previous owners place to let em see the refreshed 93 and they were very pleased with it's out come.....then took her out for about a 30 mile cruise to get everything up to operating temp...all good and got a couple of thumbs up at a few stoplights...I guess you just dont see the ole foxes on the roads out that much anymore...

[willyb93]

Looks great, will be ready to get side by side shots of sister/brother cars!!

[TWOCARNUTS]
