Not with those back seats they won't. They'd be better off with bicycles.
When were Mustangs used/what model(like, which generation)? Seems like a horrible choice for a squad car. Like @Scott Free said, the backseat doesnt seem good for that purpose.
I was at the Ford dealer the other day, getting my oil changed. Decided, while waiting, to look around the lot. My car is almost paid off and a new focus looks pretty nice for a low cost. Anyway, salesman comes out, we get to talking, I asked him about this and he was CLUELESS. Said it sounded made up. I laughed and went back to my coffee and book in the lobby.
Lots and lots and lotsa Mustangs used from 1986 through 1992. I actually owned one.
I bought a black one and then spent way too much on. Sorry I sold it. Had 5 others but only 1 LX. That thing weighed 2880 on the scales. Don't know what car lover wouldn't know about these. Will Rogers said...Everybody in the world is ignorant, just about different things. I try to remember that when asked about things that I think of as common knowledge.
I was a young boy at that time, so I dont recall that.
And while I like the old Fox-Body stangs, doesnt seem like a good cop car for when you have a perp you have to haul somewhere.

City of Charleston also had a few from 2011 up.
Yeah, who ever heard of a Mustang Police Interceptor?
Got to ride in a newer mustang (2016) yesterday. The guy had a sc’er on it. 700hp. 
Nice.
Nice.

I saw plenty of them in the 80s/90s. The PI package consisted of the following: silicon radiator and heater hoses, and a high-amp alternator. Otherwise they were stock 5.0L 225-HP automatics
complete with rear drum brakes and crappy handling engineered right into them. A modern Charger R/T would smoke them badly and then turn the corner.

I had an old 98 Dodge Dakota V6 that smoked Fox 5.0's...

superior build quality also
(which isn't construe in any way as a compliment. My people were 'Dodge'y in the 1990s. I was a Ford man _)
Now if they could only outlaw 80 year old women trying to park these any where within the city limits.

But those things drove like a couch on a cushion of air... You could fall asleep in any seat.
Ik, a modern Charger has NOTHING for a modern Mustang.
OP
now Ford stops the F-trucks, too.

Did you read the article? They're temporarily haulting building them due to a fire at a parts manufacturer. They just dont have the parts to build at this moment.
Please dont mislead.
