Just two cars later is the never-in-service Mesquite, Texas SSP, which are both part of a 14-car batch of VINs.

Yesterday I talked to the owner of "never-in-service Mesquite, Texas SSP" here in MN and he has put 4k miles on the car this year (now 5k total).

Nice to hear that he is enjoying the car!

Mick aka FoxChassis just provided us with a bunch of the CA smog matches for some 1992 CHP Mustangs, which we just put into the VIN Project:

Here is a perfect example of why I love this forum and appreciate its members. Using Aaron's method to match California smog certificates, Mick was able to pair up the VIN and e-plate numbers on a certain 1992 CHP Mustang still owned by the CHP, allowing us to create a VIN Project page using in-service pictures provided by Sam and MikeC.

An here are two more VIN Project pages where the group effort has identified the VIN for cars with in-service pictures:

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info175985.htm (a cover-shot from the CA Highway Patrolman mag)


These are great examples of the collaborative nature of this project! Perhaps that explains why this is the most viewed thread on this website.

Mick, aka FoxChassis, must be part bloodhound! He discovered that the State of Florida DMV website has an online resource tool to search for VIN history. He started with the suspected VIN range for the 1983 Florida SSP Mustangs, and found POLICE branded history on 20 cars! Here is a sampling of what we added to the VIN Project this weekend -

The Florida site is a great resource for our project where we know a suspected range of VINs containing documented SSP Mustangs. Who knows what will turn up when looking for information on other-year SSP Mustangs from the FHP??? Stay tuned...

Finished '83, '84, and '85 batches with known FHP, and about half done with two batches from '86.

Also been checking batches with known TXDPS. Finished '83 and '84.

That's AWESOME! I have been working on a list of 93 FHP Mustangs (grabbing screenshots as I go!), and ended up creating jpg files to confirm an add'l 107 Florida SSPs from 1993!

[FoxChassis]

Done checking '86 FHP.
