Check out this awesome Fox Body Mustang built front to back with parts from LMR.com!
1993 was the last year the Mustang was offered with the Special Service Package and the last year it was ordered by law enforcement agencies. I came across this one in December of 1999; I was on the hunt for a new ride after my 1988 GT met an untimely end. It belonged to Scott Springer, who is now our General Manager. We struck a deal and I drove off in my first coupe! Scott and I became friends, which ultimately led to me coming to work at LMR.com in 2003, but that's a whole other story.
The car served in McLennan County as a Texas State Trooper patrol car. Prior to the release from service, she was painted single stage red to cover the black & white scheme known to be used on Texas DPS vehicles. She was also equipped with the solid Ruby Red interior, which I pretty much hated at first, but have now come to appreciate. Sometime in 2000 she was re-sprayed solid black and stayed that way until January 2003. As the odometer showed 176,000 when purchased, she saw three engine and transmission swaps and multiple other mods and upgrades between 2000 & 2003. In January 2003 with the odometer showing over 210,000 miles, I stripped her down to nothing and began on the long journey which produced the finished product you see today.
All in all, my 1993 Mustang has performed admirably. There are still changes to be made to get her closer to my goal, but I have learned quite a bit along the way. So far she has seen lots of open track time and is a blast to drive. On the 1/4 she has gone 12.30 @ 109mph on 275/40/17 Nitto drag radials. On the open highway, 23mpg is the norm all while the cruise is set and the A/C is blowing cold. It's pretty rare to get the whole package and I wouldn’t trade her for the world!
The exterior of the 93 is covered in PPG paint and is the same black and white color scheme that would have been used when the car was in service. Upgrades are very few consisting of a 2.5" Fiberglass Cowl Hood, 84 SVO Taillight Lenses, a 1993 Cobra Grille Insert, and a pair of 4.6 Fender Emblems that I painted satin black. When the paint was dry she received the full host of trim and weatherstrip that we offer in our 50Resto Exterior Renewal Kit, along with a brand new pair of OE Carlite Quarter Windows (no longer available – sorry guys!). I chose to stick with the OE style Headlights with Amber Sidemarkers.
