Just added a buck tag photo to this 1988 CHP -

Cheers, Bill. Thanks for keeping a record of all of this. It's a lot of work.

A 1990 NCSHP Mustang recently popped up, which I just added to the VIN Project -

And here is another 1990 NCSHP Mustang with the same DSO number, but with a VIN that is over 1,000 numbers earlier -

So it's the same DSO number, but from different batches of VINs. I've seen this before with some 1984 SSPs, but none this late in production that I can recall. It's an oddity in terms of how Ford sequenced their orders. With there being civilian cars in between these two VINs, it sadly demonstrates that finding a VIN in between two SSPs with the same DSO number does not guarantee that the car is a SSP as well. That is one of the reasons we do not make any assumptions when we add a car to the Project.

I wanted to revisit a 1998 SCHP Mustang that we already added to the VIN Project. I believe that it has changed hands (again). Photos of the VIN label and Buck Tags were available, so I added them to the page. It is worth noting that the Buck Tag on this SCHP Mustang says "NORTH CAROLINA" -

As a refresher, DSO 22 is Charlotte, NC. The other two SSPs in that batch of VINs (which are unconfirmed SCHP cars) also have the same DSO number.

I wonder how many "typos" we're going to discover? I remember my Dad having a all original 65 coupe that had a "A" code stamped on body but a "C" code on door tag and buck tag. Car was 100% original and never wrecked. I wish he had kept it... I've even owned one of the 1970 Boss mustangs that were misstamped with a 4 instead of 0 for first digit in vin... But anyway I'm sure they're some out there which will be very confusing as they're discovered...

Bill,
Here is a Utah SSP I found over on the other site while looking at old threads. Pretty good documentation

Thank you, Bobby!

Here is a 1990 Nebraska SSP which we added using photos that appeared online -

The Buck Tags confirmed this DSO as being ordered by Nebraska, which allowed us to change the page for another SSP with the same DSO number to confirm its agency usage.

As most folks here know, Mike recently purchased the silver 1993 Missouri State Highway Patrol Unit #666 SSP. The car was already in our Project with older photos provided by one one of our members a couple of years ago. Mike forwarded along some great agency information and the Marti Report, which I have added to the page -
