Cobb county Sheriffs SSP's

[kapracing]

Small world; Guy called me today asking about some parts for his 87 GT. Well it turns out he works for the Sandy springs police Dept. We got to talking and I told him about my new SSP and how it had been brown met at one time like the Cobb sheriffs cars. He tells me he's friends with a senior officer that worked for that dept. for over 20 years and drove one of those brown Mustangs. He called and ask what he remembered about the cars only to find out he was very involved with them. He told us the cars were originally white (like my car) then sent to a local body shop (still in bussiness) and painted the sheriffs brown met. He is supposed to call me tomarrow so we can talk in depth. I remember these cars myself and have often mentioned to my friends that I wonder what ever became of those cars. With some more digging maybe I can determine if this is one of them or not. Turns out not be the GSP I was hoping for but if it turns out to be one of Cobb's old cars that might be even better!!! If not I'm still tickle about my new addition...

Sounds very interesting about possibility of being Cobb County SSP. Looking forward to hearing more regarding it. Good luck in the research!

The plot thickens! So you may have found a Cobb County SSP, and you have a line on a knowledgeable officer who may be able to help you document your car. Did you get ANY sleep last night?

I remember a thread a while back that asked about Cobb County SSP's, which I found here:

I don't think there's anything helpful in that thread, but you never know. Also, CNTLOSE once had a Cobb County B4C Camaro. You may want to contact him to see if he has any insights into helping you document your SSP.

Not really....LOL , Can't wait to contact him today! LOTS of questions....I don't recall seeing the cobb county cars but I do remember the Sheriffs cars... I let you all know what I found out.

This is what I've been told so far.The Cobb Sheriffs Dept piggybacked a order of 4 on top of Cobb PD's order so they could get a better deal offered by John Bleakley Ford. They used them for 3 years and auctioned them off in 91. The fugitive squad had two, a blue one and a red one (which was totaled in service). Still investigating...

Pretty cool info you've learned in a very short period of time.
