It is weird that LF191612 and LF191614 have the same paint (MK) and interior trim (AB) but the one in the middle (LF191613, the one you just got the Marti report back for) has different paint (YF) and interior trim (AA).

Well, we have seen cars from a single DSO be optioned differently before. It calls into question if some cars from a single DSO (say #83-0113) could have included ones that were not optioned as SSP Mustangs.
 I'm not saying that has happened, but it's hard to say with 100% certainty that every VIN in a batch with some confirmed SSPs are all SSPs. I think cars ordered for specific agencies are all SSPs when they ordered them, but the DSO #83-xxxx cars could (small chance) have some civilian models tossed in to mess us up.

We've definitely seen cars with different options mixed together under the same DSO (including different paint colors, but not special paints or two-tones). I don't think we'll ever find non-SSP DSO 83 cars mixed in with SSPs, though. The whole reason for the special order was the SSP option. The non-package cars I've seen that were GSA orders were just straight-up DSO 83 cars (with no order number following).

I agree the chances are quite slim, Mike. But Ford did some screwy things when it came to batching these SSPs. For example, the run of 1984 CHP Mustangs were all part of the same DSO (#72-0086). However, they were manufactured in two batches with a gap of >1,100 VINs between them.
(you and I have discussed this before, but it is worth mentioning in this thread) Situations like that force our efforts here to be more stringent when it comes to calling a car a SSP or not. It all boils down to how strong the specific documentation is and whether or not it is enough to identify a car as a SSP Mustang. That is why we have so many cars waiting in the pending folder ('til we can lock them in  )

Thanks Bob! That one has been on eBay before, but the seller has never included any photos that would be of help to us with the Project. I sent the seller a note on eBay to ask him to post up specific pictures.

I may have asked the seller for more info when they had it up a couple months ago, but I don't remember for sure if I did.

Hi all-
I've been desperately trying to find the service history and even the E-plate number on my 1992 CHP Mustang, unit number 9186 that according to the buck tags, was destined for San Jose. I've seen the DMV smog history search page and found the info of my current plate, but when I tried what I thought was my E plate based on other 1992 cars, even other Bay Area cars (E389186), all I got was info for a 2000 Crown Vic. I wonder if there's a chance the CHP re-uses the plates or possibly, I'm just guessing wrong. Nonetheless, I was searching around and found this Ca smog document. In this document SOME of the SSP Mustangs can be found by their E-plate number in one area (by year) and also by the VIN. So while the two aren't connected on this paper, if you have say, a 92 Mustang that was an SSP car and you think you know the plate, this form might back up your educated guesses as far as your plate number. I found my VIN, which links to a 1992 Mustang, but as for what I thought my E-plate was, well, it doesn't have any car info next to it. Bummer! Hope this helps some of you: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/14404809...ogCertificates Scroll down, there are many pages blank, but I promise there is a ton of info in there. I didn't download it, I just reviewed it.
