Here's a 1988 Texas DPS car that we just confirmed with a Marti Report...
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info252510.htm ...making it the first SSP in that DSO containing 20 cars, as listed in the Special Equipment Parts List. So now all 20 VINs are confirmed as SSPs for that DSO. |

Some of you may remember a unique 1985 SSP that surfaced recently which showed "California" on the build sheet. The car came equipped with an automatic transmission. It was obviously ordered by the State of California, but who knows in what capacity the car was used. Here is the VIN Project page for this car:
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info247583.htm I selected a neighboring VIN to this car in the next batch of requested Marti Reports. Since the other car was somewhat unique, I went ahead and ordered the Deluxe Report to get as much information as possible, which can be found here: http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info247582.htm Luckily, the two cars share the same DSO. The ordering dealer is the same one that ordered the CHP Mustangs (not a big surprise). I wonder how many SSPs were part of this DSO?

The 1983 Colorado State Police Mustang owned by MikeM aka ImEvil1 had already been confirmed as a SSP, as seen here:
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...06/177006.html Mike's paperwork included a Special Equipment Parts List, which showed only 6 SSPs in that DSO. Looking at the range of VINs, we guessed that 177002 might be a SSP and ordered a Marti Report. Sure enough, it was the first SSP in that DSO... http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info177002.htm ...allowing us to confirm all 6 cars in this DSO as SSP Mustangs. That basically doubles the number of 1983 SSPs we have now confirmed, which isn't surprising since the early cars don't surface all too often.

more '83 SSPs!! Cool.
There is a good possibility that the rest, or at least the vast majority, or that batch of 77 are not SSP. I have evidence that 177012, 177036, and 177060 are not SSPs. |

Sweet - nice to see more cars added to the Project!
Here is something really creative that one of our members has done in an effort to confirm CHP Mustangs. The following post was made by Aaron in a thread created by a new member who recently purchased a 1993 CHP Mustang - Quote:
http://www.bar.ca.gov/pubwebquery/ve...pubtstqry.aspx It is VERY tedious to search and keep track of this information. Most of the searches turn up empty, but so far Aaron has been able to match the certificate numbers on five VINs to a specific license plate number, thus confirming the unit number for those cars. I grabbed screenshots of the information for those other four cars, and created the following pages in our project: http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info111850.htm http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info111854.htm http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info111855.htm http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info111856.htm Thanks Aaron!!! Let us know if you can match any more...
