Looking for a lead or advice on finding an 87-93 5.0 LX Kentucky State Police car for purchase.
Plan to keep original and go to car shows etc as I live in Ky

Thx

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your search. One of the forum members purchased the one they auctioned off just a few months ago. With the low numbers, those seem to be tough ones to find, or find when someone is selling.

Welcome to the forum! :)

As Mike said, those are tough to find but not impossible. The KSP also ordered SSP Mustangs in 1985, if you wanted to expand your search criteria a bit. Good luck regardless!

I bought the last Mustang that KSP had in service. I have been waiting since 2005 for that car to sell, because there were no others available to buy. The only way to get a KSP Mustang 1985 or 1990 is to wait until someone had one for sale. If you wanted a reconstruction / build project, there is one 1985 that may be for sale in PA. But it will be a tough, expensive project.

Thx guys
I prefer the 87-93 cars
Would prefer an original rather than a clone

I want one to go to car shows with my 87 GNX
Would be two of my favorite cars from high school days

I'll echo what others have said....it may be a awhile before one shows up for sale. With only approximately 14 KSP SSP cars ever....it's quite rare to see one come up for sale.

Good luck on your search! :thumbsup:

there was an 85 for sale in Canada recently. Guy was asking a ton of money for it but it looked like a pretty nice car. I will reach out to him to see if he still has it. The last I heard it was headed to long term storage.

I never could get a response when he listed it for sale

Thx for all responses
Seems like would be a long wait
If ever
Could make one but not the same

I also like the CHP and GSP 1990s models
May also look for a fully restored one of those

Thx

The thing about it is, just when I think a particular car will never go up for sale, it happens. You just have to be active in the hobby, start building a network in the hobby and be vigilant and on the look out. If you stick to it, one day you'll land one. I wouldn't "build one"...again they are out there, just not many.
