Just be careful drawing that conclusion. I haven't read the rest of the article, but I don't see how the one "prototype" (test) vehicle that they were discussing correlates to a later order of X number of cars.
I think I mentioned this to you before, but our city ordered three 1992 SSPs and they were all marked with the same interior code as yours, but came with the correct, low-back seats. The build sheet for one of them is posted on this website (the one I drove in-service and later bought at auction).

The "Articulated Sport" cloth seating (code D) became standard in the P40E (LX 5.0L coupe) starting with the '91 model year. For the non-A/S cloth seating (code F in '91/'92 or G in '93) to be installed instead I think there would have to have been comments on the build sheet, or some other document that the assembly line folks would have used to install the correct seats for that order.
I have not yet seen a '91 SSP door tag with trim code D. I have seen a few '92 SSPs with trim code D on the door tag but none of the buck tags from the same car have a clear shot of the trim code, so I can't compare the two to see if they're the same or different. The ones that I have seen with trim code D are 131914, 131920, 148008, and 170585. Every '93 SSP door tag that I have seen has trim code D. Every '93 SSP buck tag that I have seen has trim code G. |

Good point, Mick. I hadn't even thought about comparing the two. Check out the buildsheet I found in the '92 I drove.
http://www.specialservicemustang.net/images/92SSP1.gif It also lists D as the trim code, though. I'm looking through old pics to see if I have a clear one of the bucktags. Aaron, I know you posted the tags earlier in the thread, but do you have a better pic of them?

That's an interesting build sheet. Wonder when the change-over was to that type.
I do see the DA trim code on that one. Don't see any comments at the bottom about installing any different interior trim. Wonder if the buck tag was stamped FA. The trim code on the buck tag is at the beginning of the fourth line. Aaron's tag is damaged right there. Might be able to see the stamping from the back side. |

Only seen those sheets for '92 and '93 cars. Normal builds with all of the info printed like that on the back (blank) side.

Didn't realize until now that that stuff was printed on the back side of the 'traditional' build sheet. Looks like it's all of the major equipment.

I am not basing my information off this article, in fact there are a couple things in this article that are wrong. It also depends how you read “three other prototype cars” it should read three types of cars are being tested not 3 cars. There were 7 mustangs on DSO 53-0149. My understanding is there was 7 Camaro’s and SHO’s put into service for testing at the same time.
I have other information and pictures that prove that my car had sport seats. If you look closely at some of the other pictures of the other 6 two tone KHP cars in service you can see they have sport seats. Another fun fact, the car pictured in this article is actually my car, plate #64 driven by Greg Kyser. I need to get some sleep but I will post some info tomorrow.

John (xxtrpr) found this article from the Wichita eagle, it talks about getting 7 Mustangs, 7 Camaros, and 7 SHOs.
