History on the special service mustangs you may or may not know..
The special service mustang ran from 1982-1993 with only 15,000 cars made from start to finnish,In 1982 when the program started the cars package was called Severe Service Package then changed in 1983 to Special Service Package they had one key to open the doors trunk and to start it , the trunk release button was moved under the dash on driver side, also a oil cooler,tranny cooler power stering cooler was added along with heavey duty supension parts as well as heavey duty sway bars and heavy duty clutch fan,the cars also had 160 mph speedo and 130 amp alternator,and reinforced floor pans and roll bar,they also had heavey duty silicone rad hoses the cars had a full size spare tire too.Another thing you might want to know all 15,000 cars but 5 were coupes and that 5 where hatch backs and are all 1982 models and they were made for california highway patrol. So if you can find a special service stang buy it they are all ready worth a lot of money I have seen one go for 30,000.00 on a auction .watch what you buy tho alot of people are making fake special service stangs just because there so rare..

With interest in the Special Service Mustang growing, it is very easy to replicate one starting with a standard LX 5.0 sedan and purchasing the many necessary components. The one thing that is impossible to copy is the Special Service Mustang's DSO code. This DSO code, short for Domestic Special Order, is found on a credit card-sized plate affixed to the driver's side of the Special Service Mustang's radiator core support, right behind the headlight or on the vehicle identification decal on the driver's door. This two digit hyphen four digit code is unique to that particular Mustang or a series of Mustangs that were ordered under that DSO. That DSO can be tracked back to Ford to find out the original jurisdictional customer along with all of the unique "cop stuff" that were factory installed. Sure you can install a speedometer, silicone hoses and an engine oil cooler or a police intercepter emblem on a Mustang, but those will not make it a real Special Service Mustang! Beware too, of the phoney parts that are on the market claiming to be "Police" or "Special Service" as they are that in name only and vastly inferior in quality! Unscrupulous vendors realize that the buying public is very naive when it come to police parts. Without the aforementioned DSO code, genuine Special Service parts purchases are impossible..
