Matt thats for the time on the video sharing our 93 Calypso SSP....Real Deal Ford Test Vehicle and actually an early build car and was also used by a local municipality to us in Indiana....true 1 of 1 Calypso/Black interior auto SSP....THANKS again and truly appreciate your channel
The US Air Force purchased 19 SSPs, not six. This one is the only known survivor, as they were used pretty hard with their U-2 duties. I rode in this one at RAF Alsonbury when it had just arrived from Beale AFB in California - the pilot I was riding with spun out initially as we made the turn to follow the jet as darkness was falling over the English countryside. The car hit 130 mph catching up to the U-2 ....this car was completely disassembled and restored from the ground up by one of the owners in California.
Matt, this was an excellent video with so many different/fun elements which I enjoyed! The Calypso SSP was kool and I think Tiffany shud do the exercises. Everyone SMASH the LIKE button!! 👍🏼🏁
I'm sure they loved it, I heard there was still one in service in Oregon that pulled someone over in an article recently. They certainly were one of the fastest cars on the road back in the day.
You doing your exercises was really funny. I bet people were thinking you were nuts doing it in the middle of the way... I can't believe there are never 1980 o 1981 cars at the shows. I have 2 81s (one of each body style) and I love them. I guess it has to do with the fact that there was no 5.0 those years. Fortunately here in Mexico they did have the 5.0...
I didn't know that about Mexico! That's so cool to know. I know Mike Clay has an 80 Cobra, and I wish it was there. People did look at me a little strange when I was doing those LOL
Look at all of those beautiful girls there. And Tiffany too! I love how at the beginning you had Tiff and Tarheel in the frame and said, "isn't she beautiful." We knew who you really meant. You weren't talking about Tarheel Fox entirely. Smart man! Oh my! I had to come back after watching you do your back exercises. I think your back is fine, and you were practicing for when you and Tiffany get home from this event. After all, you complemented her very well at the beginning of the video as I said earlier.
🤣 yes I bet they'll see a LOT! Kim, I don't know if you saw it, but in my most popular video ever on the 84 GT350 I gave you a shout out near the end of the video. Really glad to have met you.
I'd love to hit one of these some year with my 93 RBM Coupe. Really digging the SSP action! You might consider getting in touch with the slot car company SCALEXTRIC and get on board with me in lobbying them to produce a 87-93 Fox coupe slot car in 1/32 scale! The idea is that the coupe can be used as a SSP in various livery, a SALEEN coupe or a plain coupe. I've been into these cars for many years now and its a blady and a great winter activity!
@@GearHead704 Yep, SCALEXTRIC, Slot It, Sideways, Thunderslot, Carerra, NSR and Polycar are some big brands in the hobby! We race on Wednesday nights on a huge four lane track at a nearby hobby shop. Its a blast! Check out Slot Car News Official on YOU TUBE....I think that's the channel. I just found it and subbed recently.
Hey man i know this isn't a related video but it's your newest. I needed to ask what kind of LEDs go into the overhead lights in the mirror in your convertible fox. I've been looking for ages but i just can't find a good answer. your stuff is clean tho!!!

No problem Chet, it's a beautiful car with a great story, and was great to get to see it and talk to you for a bit.
The US Air Force purchased 19 SSPs, not six. This one is the only known survivor, as they were used pretty hard with their U-2 duties. I rode in this one at RAF Alsonbury when it had just arrived from Beale AFB in California - the pilot I was riding with spun out initially as we made the turn to follow the jet as darkness was falling over the English countryside. The car hit 130 mph catching up to the U-2 ....this car was completely disassembled and restored from the ground up by one of the owners in California.
Thanks for providing clarity on how many were made. That's an awesome amazing story as well.
The oil filter 😂😂😂, that Air Force chase car was my favorite.
Watch out for the filter fall! 🤣. I agree, the chase car is the one I want to drive the most.
I really like that Georgia State Highway patrol car, I like that classic patrol car paint scheme.
I like that one a lot too. It was so cool to see the fresh from auction GSP that was sold last year by FMR.
Man those Mustangs look great under the lights! And LOL those back exercises!
Man, I almost cut those exercises out, but decided to leave them because I laughed so hard at myself LOL
That show was awesome was great to meet and see you guys in person we did miss alot of the car's outside.
Yeah, I tried to get more of them the next day, but then we got with the rain.
Foxbody heaven! Looked like fun.
LOL, yup it was like that.
Ha the OG GH704 sign!!! I was one of that 50% increase that day. Been here a long time bro!
WOW, I knew it had been a while, didn't know it went back to the sign. Thanks man and I still remember DV helping you on your first video.
@@GearHead704 lol yeah it has! OG gang lol
Hahaha that baby blue fox looks beautiful under those showroom lights!!! And the car looks pretty good under the lights too😏😉💞
I think so too! Thanks Marcus
Look at Tiffany’s eyes when you gave the looks nice complement to tarheal
🤣

LOL, I couldn't agree more, I'm hoping those likes come in! LOL, yeah it was a blast, sorry that the Canadian borders are closed up.
@@GearHead704 Yeah we just got completely locked down for another 28 days🤦🏼♂️
@@PaulDaFox I heard 😩
@@GearHead704 The small businesses are losing their shirts and folding like crazy. So sad😣
Awesome footage Matt
Glad you enjoyed it
Love those SSP's! Imagine being a police officer back in the early 90s and banging gears on one chasing down speeders lol
I'm sure they loved it, I heard there was still one in service in Oregon that pulled someone over in an article recently. They certainly were one of the fastest cars on the road back in the day.

Lovin all the ponies in one place !!
Was a lot of fun to see that many together for sure.
Thanks for the coverage Matt, wish I could be there!
It was a blast, i'm glad show season is back.
AWESOME MATT 💯🚗🦊💪👊👍🔴🇺🇲 the exercises 🤣🤣🤣😍👍🤘👍💯
Should I wear high heels when I exercise? I guess Virginia did, but I still need to meet her LOL

I read this whole comment to Tiffany and she just laughed and laughed! Funny stuff VV funny stuff 😁
@@GearHead704 I thought you guys would get a kick out of that. Also I forgot to comment about that "vintage" Poor Man's Advertising" sign. LOL
Wow great video I’m definitely subbing!
thanks so much
Gold Stern wheels, so fresh
💯
Tell Matt from Foxresto he is definitely an old school technician because he uses the spit test for leaky tires! Well done!
LOL, yup that's definitely old school.
Another great video! Hope to see you at the swap/fox meet-up at Fox resto in the coming weeks.
Thanks, and I'll be there!
The US Airforce car was interesting, lots of nice ponies. Work got me ,hop next year can get to the ponies in the smokies.
That would be cool for sure if you could come out!
WOW ! Some very NICE Mustangs !! 👀👀
I'm sure y'all had a Blast!
"Dr. Foxbody Spit "should sell very well for FMR! 😂
🤣 yes I bet they'll see a LOT! Kim, I don't know if you saw it, but in my most popular video ever on the 84 GT350 I gave you a shout out near the end of the video. Really glad to have met you.

Great video Matt definitely Mustang Heaven but Foxbody’s are my love

Great footage, looks awesome
🤣 it really worked back in the day, and you have me beat from back then LOL
I'd love to hit one of these some year with my 93 RBM Coupe.

Great video. Would like to find an SSP.
SSP's are awesome, glad I have one myself, but it needs way too much work still LOL
Hey man i know this isn't a related video but it's your newest. I needed to ask what kind of LEDs go into the overhead lights in the mirror in your convertible fox. I've been looking for ages but i just can't find a good answer. your stuff is clean tho!!!
Thanks for the compliment. My lights on the mirror don't work, so i have to figure that out myself LOL
Right there with u on the back pain .lol
Sorry to hear that, my exercises have really helped a lot.
Is there going to be any more SSP reunion shows? How can I find out about them and this show?
Not that I know of. If I hear of any I'll share it on the channel and via my social media accounts.
@@GearHead704 I've been trying to talk to you on Instagram. I have a few things to show you.
Stab that like button
LOL, that's right!
I feel you on the back pain. I just started having problems. MRI showed a herniated disc and stenosis. Boo! 👎
Oh man, that's way bad, sorry to hear that William.
Like the video kid
Thanks.
