Jim, I do not believe that I have the MSHP or PA paperwork. Do you want to make some copies and send them my way?

Haha! I see you still have your sense of humor!

On the 1988 Alabama SSPs, based upon existing paperwork we knew there were 31 cars in that DSO, which were part of a 32-car CUN batch of V8 coupes. One of those 32 cars was not part of the Alabama DSO. But which one? So we ran Marti Reports on the 1st and 32nd cars in that CUN batch. We confirmed that the 1st car was indeed part of that Alabama DSO -

...which means that the "32nd" car is not part of that Alabama DSO. Guess what? The Marti Report came back on the 32nd car as being a SSP too, but for some other agency -

So all 32 of those VINs have now been documented as being SSP Mustangs.

Here are some more interesting additions to the Project -

• 1982 CHP - 213431 (according to Kevin Marti, the last 6 cars of the CHP order were cancelled and the cars were never built. So this car would have been the final SSP notchback assigned a VIN in 1982. Note that the four '82 SSP hatchbacks were built after the SSP coupes)
• 1984 Oregon - 181824 (29 cars in DSO, but there are 2 CUN batches)
• 1986 Utah - 208372 (now all 30 SSPs from this DSO are verified)
• 1990 Utah - 200898 (verified by 200899)
• 1993 Texas DPS #M3-250 - 144846 (which is 3 cars away from the group of MSHP cars)

Awesome work Bill!

I would like to extend a very large...

THANK YOU

...to Jason (aka 03cobra) who graciously contributed to our VIN Project by sending in money to have ten Marti Reports run. Since Jason is a big Texas DPS Mustang fan, he and I worked it out so that his money would go towards confirming cars on our "pending" list which we thought were Texas SSPs but were not 100% sure. Although the Marti Reports do not confirm these SSPs as Texas DSP cars, many of the reports show "special paint" which is something the Texas DPS cars had. Regardless, we were able to confirm the following Mustangs came equipped with the SSP option -

1986 - 221247 (part of a 5-car block of CUNs)
1988 - 205500 (part of a 22-car block of CUNs)
1988 - 256133 (there is a PCSD car in the same block of CUNs)
1988 - 276398 (there's a Mass State Police SSP 2 cars earlier)
1989 - 193372 (the 20 Minnesota SSPs close out this block of CUNs)
1989 - 232674 (part of a 12-car block of CUNs)
1989 - 241798 (another SSP is 4 cars away - Atlanta DSO)
1989 - 249983 (part of a 28-car block of CUNs)
1989 - 266141 (part of a 15-car block of CUNs)
1990 - 149449 (part of a 68-car block of CUNs)


Thanks again, Jason! You actually sent in a bit more than I was expecting, so I will run the next four reports with the balance.

Very cool stuff guys! Thanks again for all of the hard work here.
