The Ford Mustang SSP is a lightweight police car package, based on the Ford Mustang, that was offered between 1982-1993. It was designed to provide a speedier option for police departments over other heavier sedans on the market at the time. The SSP abbreviation means Special Service Package, a special Foxbody Mustang trim made exclusively for law enforcement use.
