Welcome to the site! I used your photos to create a page in our VIN Project for your SSP -

What do most people do with their SSP? Try to make it look like it did while it was in service or custom?
That is entirely up to you. Most members here prefer that SSP Mustangs be restored/preserved/maintained. Your local laws will dictate if your area allows restored police vehicles to be operated on the road. Florida is one state that prohibits vehicles from being painted/operated in FHP colors. You would likely need to cover up any police markings/lights regardless of your location, and/or trailer the car to shows. But a SSP does not need to be restored to in-service condition IMO for it to be saved. I had a 1985 CHP Mustang that I had painted all-black in order to use it as an occasional driver. I really enjoy driving these cars (and doing research). Others are excited about the hunt for a rare find. Some are into doing the hands-on restoration of these cars. There are many ways to enjoy SSP Mustangs!
