Pennsylvania State Police Mustangs

Interesting, our car has a four-digit DSO...

"Larger orders have been seen filled via different 4 digit DSO numbers, and the numbers also varied when batches of cars with different options were ordered, such as with the 1993 Florida Highway Patrol's unmarked cars."

Hopefully ours is not fake. It is a 5 speed transmission.

Ours was definately unmarked and not used in service (we bought it in 88 with 3k on it).

I will work on getting some photos uploaded and a full description of the car's options/ features.

off the top of my head, it has:

stabilizer braces underneath
stainless steel exhaust
hurst shifter
trunk quick release button
140 certified speedo
3.08 rear
no emission control system
undercoating with blue ford logo plugs
dead pedal

Clay, another great resource for Ford fans is Marti Auto Works, who sells a Standard or Deluxe Marti Report that lists the options for a specific vehicle -

These reports have been invaluable to the research we've been doing as part of our VIN Project.

I already have a marti report. Is there something I should be looking for?

If the order type is retail, does that mean it's not anything 'special'?

I will post a picture of the ad from Hemmings from back i 88 when we bought it.

That's all I get right now. Why can't I see the photos?? I can see the Marti report though.

Same here, Greg. It looks like the original attachment was deleted.

Ok thanks Mike... I thought I was staring at the screen too much and missed it!!?

[28HopUp]

Mike, thanks for clarifying what I had said. I should have known better...

Clay, thanks for the pictures. That's a sweet looking 85! For your reference, here is a Standard Marti Report for a 92 SSP (I haven't seen one yet for an 85) -






You'll note that the Special Service Option is listed. Now, it's entirely possible that errors may occur on these Marti Reports, but they are generally spot-on.

Where's the photos of the car? I don't see them Bill.
