Kentucky State Police SSP's
 

Snapped some shots today of 2 SSP mustangs that KSP still have. Complete with newer stalker radar units, both had black interiors and look like they were ready to be used in service if needed.

I goofed and put this under the for sale section, if a moderator can, please delete that thread

541 is KSP's show car (thats it's only use)

542 was decommitioned 12/2006, hasn't left supply since then. We tried to get it out for a show but they wouldn't let us take it out of the lot.


So we only had 6 cars at the show instead of 7.

It still made for a nice group photo:D

Dave,

awesome find.....where did you take those pictures??

Im shocked to hear that a state ageny still has any ssp's in service!

Awesome pics.

A Kentucky SSP would be a dream car. My family is originally (a couple of generations back) from Boyle County Kentucky. Guess I better keep dreaming.

Junior,
Did either you or your dad put dibbs on the car? It would be a great addition to the 85.

I can't believe they just let those cars sit outside. Why not keep them somewhere inside if they plan on saving them?

Thanks for sharing the pics...very nice. :)

They wouldn't let who take it?

It looks like it could hit the road today.

Active troopers can request the show car and can take it to shows or events. When asked if 542 could be taken to the show they said no. since no service had been done to the car in 2 years.


George, When we took our 85 up and showed it at KSP's 60th, we spoke to the State Police Comissioner, He had no idea that they even had the other car (542). He asked If we wanted to buy it. We told him yes we would take it as is. Would make a nice father/son pair.

I was thinking same thing...that it was too bad they leave them outside. Given the condition of the still State Patrol owned 92 Michigan SSP at show a few weeks ago it looked like was stored outside too, but I don't know that for sure. If that's the case, would be a shame as well.

Ahh...when you said "we" and "us" it was a little confusing (unless you became a trooper and didn't tell us).

Who is the Tpr and is he/she a member here?

with it being a state owned vehicle I imagine it would have to be offered to the general public in an auction, with no preferential treatment given to any one party.

Not a memeber of this forum.


We are quite aware that if sold it would be offered only through public auction, and the comissioner knows that as well.

Do you have a name? Does he/she own a KY SSP?

Maybe Mark Cool, but he is retired. The guy that owns the 90 car is a trooper still also. Him and I had a long talk a while back about the 90 that is out of service. I need to call him up and check on the status I guess. Or just drive over there.....

The only flaw I saw with the show car is that for some reason it is missing the left exhaust pipe, I noticed that a few weeks back when it was at the London Post
