POLICE CARS California Highway Patrol 1982 Ford Mustang SSP (the Porsche Chaser) 

Nick great video of this 1982, CHP Mustang. I restore these 1982-1993 CHP Mustangs, 1987,1989 and 1995, CHP Caprices and the 2002, CHP Camaros. My CHP restoration videos are on you tube and come out to see the CHP cars I restore for this interesting hobby with CHP cars.

I remember in 1985 getting squirrely in my freshly rebuilt 350LT1 Z/28 and I got pulled over by one of these. We sat and talked cars for half an hour and he let me go with a warning. When he left he smoked the tires and grinded into second gear still burning rubber. That was a hilarious memory. Still have that car.

2:55 - it actually came from stagecoaches, but patrol cars are cooler lol

Back in the old wood baton, revolver and V8 days!

The long antenna is for dispatch(low band); the short antenna is for the scanner. There is no CB in this unit.

As a young teenager. Going between the Bay Area and LA we would stop off I-5 Buttonwillow truck stop. And they was always have between three to four of those Mustangs there.

Thank You Officer for sharing ! 🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That car only needed the one red light, When it came On It meant one thing, You best be pulling over!

::Hang Over voice::......But did you stay til the end?

shotgun came from the old West on horse Wagon the person next to the driver would hold a shotgun. not the CHP.

Awesome video, Nick!... and thanks to EVERYONE that participated in the Haix boot giveaway!

One of the coolest police cars I've ever seen would love too see in person.

Woot Woot love the ‘82 Fox Body Mustang SSP

Welcome Back!!! Missed you

Yessss so glad you uploaded! I love your videos man! They are so freaking good! Never stop making them!

The real term riding shotgun came from the Wild West era when the stage coach was transporting money the driver would have someone sitting next to him with a shotgun hence the term riding shotgun

Hey! There is no CB in that car. The radio on the transmission hump is a Regency scanner. The big antenna is the dispatch antenna and the 18" on the roof is for the extender repeater for the handheld radio. Very nice job on the restoration.

Welcome back! Wish you can do more police cars! I love police stuff! Keep it up NICK!

Been a long time nick 🙏🏾 keep it up !!!

Great video Nick

What happened to police vlogs on Miami PD? Would be cool to see a Super Bowl vlog from them!

The front end of this car screams "Just try BOY JUST TRY!"

Love it!

10/10 AWESOME!

Seems like forever lol missed you guys

Finally!!! LETS GO

Sweet! Would of been neat to see them include a Crown Victoria as Well.

Yo Nick, did they just give up on the Miami vlogs altogether or what? Whats the deal doggie?

Nice . 👍

Sweet Ride

Fun video,. 👍

Nice video nick of duty

That’s dope man ! You should try coming to Arizona to take a look at the AZDPS vehicles

Michigan and California state patrol have the most unique emergency light set up with the red light. Georgia State patrol has the best paint job!!!

@Nick OFF Duty Greats from Germany. :) I pretty much love ur channel. :D Keep up the good Work here !!!! :)

No, "riding shotgun" refers back to the Old West and riding stage coaches. You had the driver who handled the reins, and then you had the guy next to you with a shotgun to protect the stage coach from bandits.

More than likely the low band radio antenna instead of CB, huh? 39.5 or 39.3 etc. Nice! Thanks for sharing!

This is handsome brother, love it !!! 👮‍♂️🚔⚫️🔵⚫️

I had no idea cop cars had manual transmissions that recently. Even by the 80's I would have thought automatics were standard. One less thing you have to be doing when your dodging cars in a high speed chase.

I called it thanks great one

Nick: Crazy stuff, shifting gears Rest of the world: ??? Wtf???

Respect for SUA Police ❤️

I would love to get behind the wheel of that Mustang and go for a little rip along the 405. Thanks for sharing. Plate [C]

The term riding shotgun came from the stage coach days when people and money were transported around in a stage coach. There was the driver of the stage coach and someone sitting next to him with a double barreled shotgun. The person with the shotgun would “ride” holding the shotgun.

Wow, that took a while to unlock.

There were also a small number of *hatchback* *SSP* *Mustangs* produced. The coupe was favoured over the +/- *5* hatchbacks; I've seen *one* example of the hatchback SSP, back in the mid-late 1980's. I wonder whatever became of it?

Would have been much cooler if they would have taken this Mustang on one of the freeways to see people's reactions😜😁🤣👍😎

Would have loved to see a “polar bear” crown Vic or even just a regular patrol crown Vic but I’m sure they’re hard to come by now! Same goes for LAPD, you showed the Tesla, but I’m much more interested in the classic black and white Vic!

🔥🔥🔥

Pulled over by this 1982 Mustang on my 1983 Yamaha Seca 650 Turbo motorcycle. doing 120mph.by King city CHP with a warning Thank Goodness😊

In Germany we still use shifting gears in police cars :D

This is more like a movie/TV Series for CHiPs

The prototype CHP Mustang SSP is at the Mustang Museum Of America in Alabama.

Bring back some ride alongs please nick !!! 😫😫😫

The LX 5.0L was a great pursuit car.

Looks like you came up short on those likes Homie.

Hey Nick i wear the badge, even though I'm not a CHP officer, I'm a future CHP officer.

My dad drove those on the 112-106 and 108 beats out of south sac when they were new

"Riding shotgun" comes from the days of (Wells Fargo} stagecoaches. One man drove the horses (6 or 8 usually) and his buddy sat up top next to him, with shotgun, to ward off highwaymen and Indians! Watch the (original) movie "Stagecoach" - with John Wayne &c - explains it all!

"chase's Porsche's for a living"...ever catch one though? lol

NOD SQUAD

really neat to see it kept and all original. Just because of how old it is still don't really care for it, much prefer the later Fox body Mustangs in 87 onward. And of course the 98 and up Crown Vic.

I like that car

Such a sexy car.

Soooo cool! Funny how they only used one red light to pull people over compare to now. Is that shotgun original that came in the car?

I know that the whip antenna was used for the police radio. When I was a cop, we used to talk to the CHP when the "skip" ran from W.Va. on 42.120 Mhz

I'd love to see if LAPD or CHP still has any of those old 80s-90s Kawasaki KZ1000s!

FYI- The very first order of 800 Mustang 5.0L Police Interceptors went to CHP Sacramento. To get the car to achieve the top speed the CHP wanted the first 800 were equipped with turbos. By the time the next fleet order was made, Ford electronic which allowed Ford to ditch the turbos. These cars had the first standard trans the CHP had seen in several decades. I talked to more than one officer who reported the smaller car handled great & was fun to drive with the stick & all. HOWEVER, the small bucket seats hurt their butt after a long day in the saddle. Not long after taking delivery late one night on I-10 outside of San Bernadino a CHP mustang unit saw a pretty new looking Corvette speeding. The Officer hit his lights and the Corvette hit his gas. The race was on. The Mustang chased the Corvette eastbound all across the California desert that night but the Corvette beat the Mustang across the state line. The Mustang was not able to overtake the big block corvette, but, it never lost sight of him. !

We need an actual CHP Mustang vs Porsche ''Pursuit'' for entertainment purposes!

I got pulled over by one of these in 1986 for (allegedly) doing 70 in a 55 southbound on I-5. My military ID got it turned into "Failure to wear seatbelt" - only a $28 ticket. About 10 months later the NMSL was modified to allow 65 mph on rural highways (a move supported by the CHP and not the IIHS!)

Any comfortable stick driver can do just as much while driving as and automatic driver.

I had a feeling LAPD was next

That’s not where the term riding shotgun came from lol

Please come to Indiana! Review with Indiana State Police.

Nick you should try to check out the Ventura County Sheriffs Department. New Mobile Command Post, rook armored tractor, bearcat, tahoe, and 3 brand new blackhawk helicopters.

The term, “Riding shotgun,” originated with stagecoaches. The passenger up top, carried a shotgun.

Should do the FHP slick top charger and the new Durango, Mustang or challenger

Mustang super dope and cant wait to see that Tesla

That's so cool and I suprized the police car has manual trance mission. My image in there US I think 99% of cars are AT. I think then here in Japan over 90% cars were manual. But now over 95% of cars AT.

Damn I wanted to hear the siren.

6000 likes to see nick do a Lapd video ride along and vehicles

Hi, Nick.

😎

I always thought marked police cars without a light bar on top look pretty strange.

LAPD Tesla that ran out of battery

That’s All

Hey @NickOFFDuty, I’m not sure if it’s possible, but it would be really cool to show your OHIO fans some love! You should come up here and do an episode on one of our new Chargers with THE Ohio State Highway Patrol!! (Maybe when it gets warmer though, I know you like your Florida heat😂)

Even today, with all the fancy LED's an stuff, emergency vehicles in California must still display at least one forward-facing solid red light.

You gotta pop the Hood next time to show that 5.0:).

You should head over to Fremont Police Dept to show off there Tesla Model S Patrol Car.

I wonder what it’d take to use this in day to day operation. I’m sure the radio would need to be replaced for a digital one, and a laptop added to run licenses.

When will the Miami police vlogs be back with patrol videos and other such videos
