Default Kentucky State Police SSP's

Snapped some shots today of 2 SSP mustangs that KSP still have. Complete with newer stalker radar units, both had black interiors and look like they were ready to be used in service if needed.






I goofed and put this under the for sale section, if a moderator can, please delete that thread

541 is KSP's show car (thats it's only use)

542 was decommitioned 12/2006, hasn't left supply since then. We tried to get it out for a show but they wouldn't let us take it out of the lot.


So we only had 6 cars at the show instead of 7.

It still made for a nice group photo

Awesome pics.

A Kentucky SSP would be a dream car. My family is originally (a couple of generations back) from Boyle County Kentucky. Guess I better keep dreaming.

Junior,
Did either you or your dad put dibbs on the car? It would be a great addition to the 85.

I can't believe they just let those cars sit outside. Why not keep them somewhere inside if they plan on saving them?

They wouldn't let who take it?

It looks like it could hit the road today.

Active troopers can request the show car and can take it to shows or events. When asked if 542 could be taken to the show they said no. since no service had been done to the car in 2 years.


George, When we took our 85 up and showed it at KSP's 60th, we spoke to the State Police Comissioner, He had no idea that they even had the other car (542). He asked If we wanted to buy it. We told him yes we would take it as is. Would make a nice father/son pair.
