As part of Tom's auction information, we found 3 Texas DPS Mustangs from the 1991 model year:

I wonder what might have happened to those rare cars? They are part of an 11-car CUN batch of VINs, and only the last 9 cars came back with records on the Texas DMV website.

I put some "want ads" out on various craigslists looking for info about SSPs that might still be on the road today. Got a hit on a 1986 FBI unit!

Somebody that knew of the car, who also purportedly is a multi-SSP owner, sent me a pic of the lower left corner of the window sticker and told a previous owner of the car about the ad I put up. The previous owner contacted me and gave me his phone number so I called him and chatted a bit. He sold it a couple of years ago, and still keeps in contact with the current owner. Hopefully I can get some more info on it.

Bill put up a page for the car here: http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info267059.htm

Mick, that is incredible that you found this car! Not only did you track down a range of likely SSPs that nobody knew about, but you were able to find a car through your CL posting. AWESOME! Hopefully, you will be able to find more like this. In terms of this car, if it looks like all 32 cars from the batch were ordered by the same dealer, then I suspect it would be worth ordering Marti Reports for the first and last cars in the batch so we could confirm all 32 cars.

Again, NICE JOB!

This is one of the coolest things I've heard all year... I'd love to own an '86 FBI coupe

Good stuff.

Bill/Mick, other than what's in the pic, did you get any confirmation that the '86 is an SSP?

I did not get any more info but I'm working on it. The previous owner that I talked to on the phone said he might have some auction paperwork on his home PC. I told him I was also looking for a pic of the door tag and buck tags, and he said he would contact the current owner and see if he would share that.

Cool....I'm interested in seeing if that batch is a consecutively numbered group of SSPs or if it's a set of special ordered DSO 83 cars.

I included these VINs in my next batch of 10 Marti Reports, ordered today. Once they come in, then we'll know for sure if they are SSPs or not (unless Mick receives more pictures). If we jumped the gun on calling them SSPs, it will be easy enough to remedy.

They may be SSPs. The FBI ordered both civilian and package cars, and sometimes both in the same year.
