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!  |
Thanks for the welcome and the inclusion on the vin list
As for restoration, I don't see myself putting it in service condition at this time. I enjoy driving it when weather permits. Someone along the way has removed the a/c compressor, which I will be putting back on A.S.A.P.
