Thanks guys! It really has been a group effort on this Project. It's been a lot of fun, too!

We ordered a few more Marti Reports this week which we should receive before the end of May, as follows:

• The two remaining 1985 Nevada Highway Patrol SSP Mustangs, including the one that was wrecked when being driven to its initial post.
• From the same batch, we ordered a Marti Report on a Colorado State Patrol Mustang, which should confirm an adjacent VIN for the known race car that is painted like a CHP (assuming that the DSO numbers are the same).
• A 1990 GSA car where the cars in that DSO show "GOVT" on the Buck Tags with no mention of the SSP option. We have always assumed those were SSP Mustangs, but now we can confirm them with 100% certainty.
• A likely 1990 Nebraska car that is at the end of a batch of FHP Mustangs.
• A 1993 Wisconsin SSP.
• The 1993 SSP from Winslow, AZ.

We are nearing the end of being able to use Marti Reports to confirm huge blocks of VINs, because we have found most of the big batches. Now we will be targeting specific small ranges with cars that have insufficient documentation but are of particular interest. Here is the current list of those cars (year,agency,VIN):

The Marti Reports are in -

1985 Nevada Highway Patrol FF206188
1985 Nevada Highway Patrol FF206190 (wrecked in-service)
1985 Colorado State Patrol FF206193 (DSO match to the next VIN)
1985 Colorado State Patrol FF206194
1990 GSA LF191613 (so GOVT on the Buck Tag does mean it's a SSP)
1990 Nebraska State Patrol LF 161470 (unconfirmed agency usage)
1993 Wisconsin State Patrol PF144888
1993 Winslow, AZ P.D. PF147249 (the next VIN after a bunch of FHPs)

That's great info on the 85 NHP's! Confirms the story of them all being white and painted blue once NHP took possession. I was also wondering what DSO they would've been ordered through since they were Federal grant test cars. And Denver was the DSO. Very interesting stuff!

Brad, this one rounds out the 1985 NHP cars...
