True.

But drum brakes are garbage. I've already had a few rear tire lockups when under heavy breaking. If anything it's a safety improvement.

I don't want to make the mustang a weekend show car, but get some use on the road and be seen.

If the car was still in service (the Highway Patrol doing the modifications) why wouldn’t they upgrade to rear discs? Not to mention the 87-93 suspension is a great improvement too.

But you bring up a major question I have in relation to this.
What kind of laws and problems would I face painting it black/white and having special service equipment in the car?
I would think cops would stop you often, and may even question your right to be driving the car?

I know the decals can be magnets and removed, but other then that it still looks like a cop car and could be seen as impersonation?

Maybe it can be registered as historical vehicle with no registration for life? Hell if I know.

Maybe someone can shed some light on that?
