That car is incredible.

Is it actually an SSP car or did the previous owner just put the badge on for the hell of it?

its stupid clean. there is no rust or rot on this car. only a couple bubbles in the paint. the trunk, door jambs, strut towers, undercarriage all SUPER clean. i paid $6700. i just ordered some 5.0 floor mats for it because im disgusted every time i get in it and leave dirt on the carpet.

id like to build a separate motor for it over time and when completed just swap it in. when i changed the oil recently, i developed a small oil leak and its frustrating me...both drain plugs are tight. im kind of clueless...looks like it might be coming from where the oil pan goes over the control arms. if anyone knows what im talking about? im going to put it up on a lift or jacks to look underneath it this weekend.

edit: also took it to Bass Pro's cruise night on thursday, got TONS of compliments and attention. no one believed that i owned it, granted im going to be 20 in july. ha

Yeah man that's whatI figured. There are a couple of retired Police Interceptors where I live (sadly they are now taxis) and they have the exact same badging. OP like everyone has said just take it off. You car is too nice to be faking the funk. Also its very easy to do. If you don't have the hands, patience, or time just go to a body shop. They should charge you no more than 20 bucks to take it off. Really nice car dude.
