Thanks Jim! That's great to hear about the additional FHP cars. I am configuring the format and file routing to make it easier to replicate the pages for each car.

Here's an interesting piece of documentation on the 1986 Utah SSP Mustangs that I re-dicovered on Four Eyed Pride -






We have one Utah SSP documented already from DSO 76-0048, which is VIN 208368. That SSP is part of a 78-car batch of VINs containing SSPs from Oregon and Arizona (yes, that's one consecutive batch of 78 VINs with SSPs for 3 agencies!).

What's cool about the above paperwork is that it confirms that there were 30 SSPs ordered under that DSO. There are four more VINs after 208368 in that batch. If we get Marti Reports for those remaining four cars, then we will be able to determine with 100% certainty the final VIN in that DSO. By accurately counting backwards from that yet-to-be-determined final Utah SSP, we will be able to use the above paperwork to document all 30 VINs as SSPs. That's pretty cool!

Bill everything is in the mail. You should get it at the work address on Monday.

Sweet! Here are three pages using the two pictures that you posted earlier for the CHP & FHP info -

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info184833.htm
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info184838.htm

and

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info154612.htm


Once the package arrives, I will scan them in and begin the task of creating pages for the hundreds of CHP and FHP cars we can now confirm. That should be a HUGE help to those owners looking to document the origin of their SSP.

Nice job Bill! Thanks for all of your hard work. I'm sure everybody appreciates it especially the FHP and CHP guys.

Thank Bernie!

Jim, your care-package arrived safely in the mail. There are A LOT of pages to be organized and scanned. It is going to take weeks for me to get all of this done.

To give you all a taste, there is a CHP document for the 1989 Mustangs which lists the unit numbers and VINs. The interesting part is that it identifies a stand-alone VIN, followed by the group of cars ordered consecutively (but the VINs are jumbled because they are listed by Unit Number). We know that the CHP would typically order a single Mustang to check that the equipment upfitting would work in the new model-year car. With this paperwork provided by Jim Young, we now know that the single 1989 SSP initially checked by the CHP was:

How cool is that?

Bill I have a bunch of information for the "pilot" cars for numerous years, including the original paperwork signed by CHP admin, inspectors from fleet and acknowledments from Ford execs. etc. If you need it, plus some warrantly issues, additional orders for hundreds of sets of floormats, changes to original orders for several different years, speedo warranty/testing communications and so on.

Jim, if any of it can be tied to specific VINs, then yes it would be good to include that information in our project. If the documentation is more CHP-specific rather than being tied to certain cars, then perhaps that would be better placed in the CHP Restoration Pages.

Let's talk soon...
