1990 Ford Mustang LX SSP 5.0 Notchback
1990 Ford Mustang SSP
Own a piece of history. Originally packaged SSP (Special Service Package) Ford Mustang LX. I have owned this car for almost 2 years. This would have been my car of choice when I turned 16and after years of looking for one, finally bought one for my 40th birthday. This vehicle has not been raced or molested in any way. Although this vehicle has the SSP package, t appears to have sported its original Medium Cabernet color its whole life and still has the original interior including seat cloth and carpets in Scarlet Red. The only signs left of it being a government use car, re the antenna cable still installed in the trunk and 2 small holes on the side of the middle dash that would have been for the radio mouth piece.This vehicle still has its original buck tags with the SSP and government order number stamped right on it (DSO-83-0033). Otherwise it looks like a stock civilian Ford Mustang. The vehicle has all the items particular to the SSP package as it should. Although not confirmed, t is assumed that this vehicle was used for light duty with a government agency (presumed to be General Service Administration), uch as a high ranking officials car and definitely never any police lighting or badging. The previous owner had the vehicle re painted a few years ago and then warehoused the car for a couple of years.It is not a show quality paint job but has very good shine and makes the vehicle very presentable. Interior is complete and very nice and presentable as well with few signs of wear and tear for a vehicle ofthis age. Ice cold A/C and like most, he heater core has been capped off. The only aftermarket parts on the vehicle at the time of purchasewere MAC Shorty headers, AC H-Pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. The mileage is original and theengine has never been rebuilt from what I can tell. Engine runs well with no issues or odd noises.It still has its original automatic transmission which is one of the standard SSP package items. Previous owner claimed to have rebuilt the transmission. It shifts thru all gears without any noise or slippage and also runs well at high speeds. Although some departments ordered there vehicles 5 speed, he standard SSP package includes an automatic transmission in order to free up the officers hands during vehicleuse.
Since purchasing the vehicle I've had lots of fun bringing it back to its full glory. As previously mentioned the vehicle had been stored forabout 2-3 yearsbefore I purchased it.Thecar starts, tops and drives very well.It also handles well and drives very nice at highway speeds and everything in between.I'm a car enthusiast and have owned many other sport and classic vehicles.This car has been cared for and maintained like only a car enthusiast can. I've enjoyed owning this car and it fulfilled a teenage dream, ut now its time for someone else to enjoy it. The vehicle is not perfect with a few minor items in need of repair such as inoperable passenger window switch, noperable horn, lashing air bag light, inor paint blemishes and one very small spot of rust within the trunk channel that is pictured. Very small spot and it's the only one that I've ever seen on the vehicle. This vehicle still gets tons of compliments every time I drive it. Always creates lots of conversation from enthusiast every time is goes to the local car shows and meets. The vehicle is only driven to shows, ar meets and occasionally to my office on really nice days. The vehicle has always been stored in my garage and the previous owner had it stored in a warehouse with the rest of his collectable vehicles. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere.
