Can't wait to hear more about the 20th (or would it be the 1st?) GSP built in 1992.

I decided to order four Marti Reports. Three are likely Pierce County Sheriff Department cars (one being #1312 - the white K-9 unit). The fourth report is for the VIN immediately after the final PCSD car (#1317) to lock in the VIN range. Their website said that I should receive the reports by the end of this week. I see that Marti raised the price on Standard Reports to $18 each, for those who are interested.

Attached are the four reports, and the VINs shown below are clickable:
JF256154 = first car in DSO 74-0092 for PCSD (unit #1300)
JF256166 = White K-9 (unit #1312)
JF256170 = Light Gray SSP (unit #1316)
JF256172 = DSO #73-0065, an SSP ordered through the SLC office

FYI: JF256172 was ordered through Rick Warner Ford in Salt Lake City

Looks like the PCSD unit numbers go in order by VIN?

JF256154 #1300
JF256155 #1301
JF256156 #1302
JF256157 (#1303?)
JF256158 #1304
JF256159 (#1305?)
JF256160 (#1306?)
JF256161 #1307
JF256162 (#1308?)
JF256163 (#1309?)
JF256164 #1310
JF256165 (#1311?)
JF256166 #1312
JF256167 (#1313?)
JF256168 (#1314?)
JF256169 (#1315?)
JF256170 #1316
JF256171 #1317

Yes, the PCSD ran their unit numbers sequentially based upon the VIN. According to Ryan, around that same time period they had a different way to create a car's unit number:

1st Number = Last digit of model year.
Next Three = Last 3 digits of VIN


Some of the early photos of Ryan's and Robert's restored cars had this numbering system on them. Ryan's car (now mine) had 8164 on it in some photos. The PCSD Mustangs may have started out with 81xx numbers and were switched to the #13xx numbers, or they may have always been in the #1300 - #1317 range. That is why the 81xx numbers are also listed on each car's page in the VIN Project, since we do not know exactly when they changed the numbers.

No little detail gets unnoticed by you!

Thanks go out to Mike, aka Notch50, for passing along an ebay link that had a photo of the roof numbers for a FHP already in our Project -
