Georgia falls to fifth ...
Georgia was always assumed to have been the fourth largest purchaser of SSP Mustang. After acquiring Jimmy Crump (GSP's retired Fleet Manager from that era) It has been revealed that Ga only ordered 309 SSP Mustangs (break down as follows);
1983 - 10 1988 - 100 1989 - 42 1990 - 55 1991 - 83 1992 - 19 Total 309 Looking as the usage chart on .org 's welcome page it shows Nebraska State Patrol had 331... Sooooo Nebraska State Patrol now moves to the fourth largest purchaser and Georgia back to fifth. There are a couple other unknowns that if they ever come to light could change that? Time will tell, but at least for now we cant set that record straight

Being bumped into 5th position in no part takes away from the fact that the GSP Mustangs are one of the best looking police cars in their day.

Bobby, the GSP may end up ranking around 7th or so if we ever figure out how many cars were ordered by South Carolina and the GSA (DSO #83-xxxx) cars. Looking at the VIN Project, the number of SCHP cars may end up being higher than Nebraska...

Bobby, please keep contacting me when you find information that needs to be updated.
 It will be impossible to quantify how many SSP Mustangs were ordered by the Government. But the South Carolina cars should be easier. We have identified most of the blocks of VINs, and a few well-chosen Marti Reports (selected by running AutoCheck reports) could lock in the high and low VINs to establish a range for each DSO number. All it takes is a little time and a little money (with roughly 20-30 reports needed to confirm the South Carolina VINs, at $15 per report it adds up quickly!).
