Was lucky enough to bump into Mr.Marti this past summer at Woodward...he helped me decode our 93 SSP a bit further....

Very cool! I appreciate you sharing that because you've got my mind spinning now.
|
I bet!! Folks may truly not realize how rare these cars are....

Does your car have articulated sport seats?

Strange indeed.....base seats but a power drivers seat and full power options.....nuts
|
How exactly are the #'s broken down? There are at least 2 other calypso SSP's in 93 (Rome/ Floyd county and Gilcrest county)... Just curious. Nice car BTW!
|
I'm guessing it's of the 18 calypso coupe with blk int it's the only SSP because the other 2 SSP calypso coupes have gray??? So how would you find out how many of the 93 calypso coupes were SSP's???
|
Great question.....to date I know of the two cars you mentioned as well as possibly 3....2 for sure FHP unmarked cars...all to the best of my knowledge had Opal interiors and crank windows. ...as for how many of the 93 were SSP versions I'm thinking not too many..
|
Unfortunately, a lot of the later SSPs in that data incorrectly show the articulated sport seats. I'm guessing that when those seats became standard (with the 5.0 engine), there was never a way to tell when running the reports. We saw the same issue with the earlier cars that have blank paint codes.
|
Articulated Sport seats were standard in the LX 5.0L coupe starting in 1991. That is why you will always see the A/S code on the door tag, and on Marti reports on the door tag image and in the equipment list.
For special orders, where the build sheet remarks would indicate that the 'base' seats shall be installed, the buck tag will have the non-A/S seat code. In this case the door tag would have a "DJ" (A/S black cloth & vinyl) seat code and the buck tag would have an "FJ" ('base' black cloth) seat code. |
On this (elite) report, the stat for the AOD transmission comes first. Therefore, all stats following that one stat are for AOD-equipped cars only. In other words, this 1993 is 1 of 1 with PM paint, DJ (actually FJ) trim, and AOD. There could be one or more 1993 SSP(s) out there with PM/DJ(FJ) and T-5.

Build sheets from aero cars are very scarce. :( I don't recall ever seeing one from a 1991-93 but I would have to check later to be sure if I have any saved.
I am just going off of other (four-eyed) special order sheets that I have seen, from acsMcLarens, Saleens, SSPs, etc., where the remarks mention replacing the standard seats with other seats. |
On the basis of this report, would I be correct in assuming that Kevin Marti has the ability to separate and quantify the number of cars that came with the SSP option? If so, could anyone offer to pay Marti Auto Works to research the number of 5.0L notchbacks cars that came with the SSP option for each year? Are we really now able to determine how many SSP Mustangs were built? If so, then one of us with a good relationship with Kevin Marti needs to contact him ASAP.

Here are just two examples of one trim code on the door tag and a different trim code on the buck tag:
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info122743.htm http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info182331.htm Not sure why "G" code was on the buck tags though. That code hadn't been used since 1989, and then it was for A/S leather seating (convertibles only), not 'base' cloth seating. :headscratch: I think I have only seen this alternate trim code between the door tag and buck tag in 1991-93, when LX 5.0L sedans were supposed to have a A/S seating standard. |
When I approached him regarding a further breakdown of our car he did indicate to me that some of the agencies with specific color requests ie:Michigan and the two tone cars were extremely difficult to breakdown....we on the other hand have this test car and he was intrigued with its status as well as I was.....I don't believe at this time he's opening up the full areo car info to all years but ya never know....

Your car is pretty interesting. Ever find out anything from Ford on what it might have been used for? |

Door data tag shot...I know there was some discussion about these..
|
OK, I just looked at the build sheets in the Tech section here. I don't see anything in the remarks section on any of them about changing seats, other than reinforced seatbacks on the 1984 and 1985 sheets.
http://www.specialservicemustang.net/Build.html The last sheet on that page (1993 FHP, PF154606) has "G6" for the trim code. Other FHPs in the VIN Project with the same DSO have "D6" for their trim code on their respective door tag. Looking at the next two build sheets up from the bottom (1992 FHP and 1992 CHP) I see "FA" trim code for cloth seats. The next one up (1992 Gainesville FL) has "DA" trim code, and the Marti report on its VIN Project page also shows the same trim code. I will have to look at the database later and see what kind of door tag code and buck tag code patterns emerge. |

Not sure if I have ever posted an interior shot...

OK, reviewed what I have entered into the database so far. No D_ trim in LX 5.0L coupes before 1991, which is consistent with what the factory docs say. What I do have so far entered into the database is this:
1991 Most SSPs have F_ trim on the door tag but three so far have D_ trim... UCLA - MF125461 GSA - MF161590 unknown - MF176449 The UCLA and GSA cars have DA (A/S grey) code trim on their door and buck tags. The unknown car we only have a Marti report. The report shows A/S black interior (DJ). 1992 Again, most SSPs have F_ trim but two so far have DA trim... KSP - NF131914 KSP - NF131920 We have a buck tag only for NF131914 and it also has DA trim on that tag. 1993 This year all 71 SSPs that I have a door tag or Marti report for have D_ trim. Of the 14 that I have a clear shot of the trim code on the buck tag, all of them have a "G6" code. I have bunches of others that have a G6 code on the door tag, all of them LXes. |
Mick, I know you enjoy doing the research, but thank you for taking the time to go through the information.

+1. Very interesting stuff.
|
Forgot I had a clear shot of the trim code on the buck tag for the car in this thread. It does say "FJ". So make that all but 1 of the 15 say "G6".
