Missouri State Highway Patrol 1993 SSP Ford Mustang

This 1993 Ford Mustang was purchased by the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) with the Special Service Package and went in to service on March 18, 1993. The Mustang served with the MSHP until January 10, 1995.

The Mustang is 1 of 25 the MSHP ordered for 1993 and 1 of 6 that were ordered in silver. 1 of 3 of those silver Mustangs came with Ruby Red interior.
The Mustang was assigned to Sgt. Larry Varner serving out of Troop F (no, not the F-Troop sitcom from the 1960’s) Jefferson City, Zone 7 working Cooper and Howard counties.

The Mustang was assigned license plate 666-HP which actually shocks me a little. When I was a State Trooper with the Ohio State Highway Patrol they didn’t assign ‘666’ to any vehicles. Call it bad luck or maybe just the sign of the devil.

The Mustang was purchased from the MSHP for $9,000 by the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department who used the Mustang for 2-years.

The Mustang was sold to a private individual and was eventually restored to its in-service condition on July 13, 2017.

The car is equipped with:

I started my career as a police officer in 1989 with the Geneva on The Lake Police Department. I worked part time as a police officer and full time as a Security Sergeant doing armed mobile security patrols for a local security company. In 1990 I became a State Trooper with the Ohio State Highway Patrol. During my career as a State Trooper I was certified as a Technical Crash Investigator, OPOTA Police Instructor, OPOTA Police Driving Instructor, LASER Instructor, and received awards for ACE (Auto Larceny) and Post Trooper of The Year. Code 3 Garage is a mix of my inner automotive gearhead, and public safety background. I hope you enjoy it!
