Page 91 of "Ford Police Cars 1932-1997" by Edwin J. Sanow has a cutline under a photo of a CHP Mustang that reads "In 1982, Ford and the CHP revolutionized the high speed pursuit car with this Severe Service 5.0L Mustang. The Ford that chases Porsches for a living was born. Ford Division"

Not a problem. I think the SSP number is for all colors combined, where the rest of the numbers in that sedan column of the chart are by individual color.

I haven't spoken with Kevin Marti for a few years now. In one of those conversations, I remember him saying that it would burn a lot of their time trying to determine a comprehensive number of cars equipped with the SSP option. Time is money, but it seemed like a very tall order for them to accomplish (if it is even possible). I just sent Kevin an email to touch base on this, so my fingers are crossed!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_M...#CHP_Hatchback In 1982, the CHP ordered 400 Special Service Package notchback coupes (394 were built by Ford and shipped to the CHP), and at least 4 cars were SSP hatchbacks. These four hatchbacks were painted and equipped in the same manner as the SSP coupes. They were produced under a different 6-digit Fleet DSO number than the SSP coupes, and were retained for use and evaluation by the CHP. One of these hatchbacks exists in private hands. |
