My pleasure! I've enjoyed being able to contribute to the hobby in this way, especially since I do not have an SSP at the moment.

As a related aside, I have now gotten through all of the photos shared with me by others and found on my own. It feels good to be caught up on new pages and updating existing ones (that feeling will be short lived, I'm sure). I had quite a few needing updates which are now even better. The Project still will be an evolving resource as new cars and documentation pops up. I still have MANY folders on likely SSP cars that need add'l documentation to confirm the SSP option.

I've been adding SSP's to the Project without commenting, but I thought the following SSP was worth mentioning. It is a 1989 NCSHP Mustang that was subsequently purchased by Marion County SOUTH CAROLINA -

I think this is the first time I've seen a State-auctioned car being purchased by an out of state agency for their use.

Interesting, that does seem uncommon, with SSPs.

I found some old paperwork while cleaning the basement after a move. I saw this vehicle was in the database with no unit number, but I confirmed it when I owned it. I was able to get three police reports from FHP that confirmed this was unit 1329.

Last I knew Gary Wheeler owned the car in Canada, but looks like he hasn't posted on either site in quite sometime. If anyone has his contact info I'd love to get these reports to him.

The paperwork is really great on that SSP, too!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This SSP was manufactured at the end of a consecutive run of Michigan cars -

Th following 1990 NCSHP car showed up on FB recently so I was able to add it to our Project -

There had been another SSP in that same group of VINs that we suspected as being a NCSHP car, and since it has the same DSO number as the tags on the newly added car we were able to confirm the ordering agency for it -

It's always interesting to me, the various local agencies that had these vehicles.

This rough 1989 FHP was found in the wild and was posted on FB -

Shame to see it sitting like that. You'd think years earlier from this point would have found interest with someone to buy it.
