40th Anniversary Mustang Special Service Package
This car is a one-off 40th anniversary Special Service Mustang based on the current Mustang GT. The paint scheme was penned by Ford Design and is based on the first series of the 1982 California Highway Patrol Ford Mustang SSP hatchback cars. Only six hatchback SSP Mustangs were built and delivered to the CHP in 1982.
The car is equipped with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 mated to a six-speed manual transmission - in the tradition of the original CHP Mustang SSP cars - all of which were manual transmission cars. The interior was remade with base seats and trim, along with the certified police speedometer. The rear deck lighting utilizes the current Whelen-CHP spec lighting package. Per California law - a steady burning red light was added to the spotlight like the original cars.
This build was done by the craftsmen at @galpinautosports in collaboration with @jaylenosgarage and @ford. The exempt plate carries the 11-99 - as a nod to the CHP @chp1199foundation, which serves and supports the CHP community. 11-99 is the radio code for “officer needs assistance”.
This car was made in dedication to the hardworking men and women of the California Highway Patrol and all law enforcement - the people who protect and serve.
