Mike, thanks for clarifying what I had said. I should have known better...

Clay, thanks for the pictures. That's a sweet looking 85! For your reference, here is a Standard Marti Report for a 92 SSP (I haven't seen one yet for an 85) -






You'll note that the Special Service Option is listed. Now, it's entirely possible that errors may occur on these Marti Reports, but they are generally spot-on.

I just edited Post #21 of this thread to make the attachment appear as a regular picture.

Bill, follow the link of my 10:47am post.

Thank you all for your patience and expertise as I try to figure out if I have something rare or just a 'knock off'. I really appreciate your time and interest.

Clay: You're looking at the DSO # 6005 that is just below the order type and just above the dealer number. That is the district sales office order #. That is not the domestic special order #, which is what we're talking about and is what all SSPs had. Same acronym but two different things. The domestic special order #, if it exists for any particular car, is part of the two-character region and district, also know as the district sales office. Which means the DSO would be a total of six characters. Looking at your Deluxe (Marti) Report, it would be in the "Door Data Plate Information" box and would say "_____ ordering district under domestic special order # ____" and in the image of the door sticker (above where it says DSO).

+1 to what Mick said. The lack of the SS option on the Marti report could be an error, since they manually look those up, but if it doesn't have a 6-digit DSO on the door tag/buck tag/buildsheet, then it isn't an SSP.

The 140 Speedo doesn't look factory, and doesn't have the verified calibration label. Haven't seen any ssp evidence, but that doesn't mean an agency couldn't have used it

"Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

That's all I get right now. Why can't I see the photos?? I can see the Marti report though.

He already stated that it wasn't used in-service and had 3k miles on it when they purchased it.
