16" wheels on SSP car?
 

So in my quest for more history on my 1993 SSP car I contacted Ford and had them send me what they call a build sheet but it is basically just a listing of how the car was optioned during the build. I am confused b/c one of the specific options listed was "225/55ZR x 16" BSW All Season Tires". Could you order an SSP car with 16" pony sheels? I have never seen one. This car was one of the 30 cars that didn't go to Highway Patrol use in 1993.

I would say unless there is something specific referencing the Special Service option on that build sheet, it's probably a generic 5.0 liter LX build sheet and not specific to your car.......

Those Ford 999s are notoriously inaccurate.

Weren't there some Nevada HP SSP's that ran 16" Pony wheels? They may have been retro-fitted by NHP though.

True...something about testing out different tires or something like that. Not factory equipped, though.

Thanks for the info, that is kinda what I thought.

One other thing I found interesting is that the sheet from Ford references the base AM/FM radio (which is what is in the car) and yet my door tag radio code is "7" which is AM/FM Cassette. I would bet the door tag is more accurate and the radio has been replaced at some point but who would go to the trouble to put that piece in there.

Truly....the sheets from Ford aren't worth the time/trouble it takes to get them.

What year is your car?

How long did it take to get yours and was it sent US Mail or E-mail to you? I placed a request over the Xmas holiday and they replied asking for my home address. Provided that information and was last I heard. After several weeks began sending emails every few days to inquire if they needed anything else and never received any reply. Finally gave up on it since the info wasn't particularly accurate on the SSPs anyway.

I've gotten those 999 history reports on 7 out of 10 of the Fox chassis Mustangs that I have owned and only one of them was inaccurate. I just ordered one last week for my soon to be delivered 89 SSP and I'll post it's accuracy after I receive it.

We're talking SSPs...so you had one on a regular production car that had mistakes also?
