1982 SSP find

Not yet....no response from the state.

Any new news on this car? Pic with the steelies???

[ImEvil1]

All dead ends. I was able to make contact with the family members of the retired fleet manager who may have had info on the car, but still haven't heard back. Unfortunately, he is having health issues.

Steelies are still in the box. I did rebuild the carb...and it desperately needs a new (stock) exhaust.

Units, as in plural. Wonder if CF234609, which is the second in that consecutive group of two P10F VINs, is also under DSO 26-0200?

Did anyone ever run a Marti Report on this second VIN? A Deluxe version would be better to see if it also comes back listed as a "Marketing Vehicle".

I don't think I ran one.....I did finally hear back from an employee there who looked to see if they had the Eminger for that one. Sadly, they do not.

I also called several companies who supposedly had old records for the license plate shown in the photo provided by Tpr. Pruett. Everyone claims that they do not have the info going back that far, including the state. I'm sure there's an old box of the records somewhere (or microfiche), just haven't met the right person who knows where that info might be.

Well, you have certainly tried! I will include CF234609 in my next batch of Marti Reports to order, and I will get the Deluxe version in hopes of confirming it as another Marketing Vehicle.

[ImEvil1]

Good deal, thanks.

[28HopUp]

Sure thing! I just ordered three reports:

1. 1982 1FABP10F7CF234609 (the VIN after your 82)
2. 1984 1FABP26M2EF224519 (DSO 83-0809)
3. 1986 1FABP26M5GF257534 (Utah car)

I did four-eye cars because they are not found as often as the aero cars.

[chp1982]

That's great of you to do, Bill. Looking forward to seeing the report.

Early prediction...it will be the same (marketing).
