Why not 3 simple catagories for SSP's.
1. Concours-as in exactly as it left the Ford plant. All FACTORY installed Ford equipment as in ground straps, the correct alternator, etc. No agency installed equipment. This allows for people who appreciate the special nature of these cars, but don't want the attention a marked unit may bring to an un-sworn owner.

2. In service- As the car was the first day with it's first agency, or as close as can be dtermined, it went into service. That is the light bar, radios, markings, etc.

3. SSP resto mod- Any made up car. This could be a non-SSP made to look like an SSP or one from one agency restored to look like another agency car.

Of course many here will be able to be more detailed about what would be what for each class, but that seems to cover the broad strokes.
