Thanks Bill

So far we have received two of the six reports from Marti Auto this week. The first report was used to confirm a 1985 TxDPS car that we already had listed in the Project using the auction reports, and the Marti definitely confirms that the car came equipped with the SSP option:

The second one is a 1986 car believed to be a Oregon State Police car. It is in a group of only two consecutive VINs. We only had a partial view of the Buck Tag (which says OREGON), so we waited to confirm it as a SSP for the Project until we had the Marti Report in-hand:

Two of the remaining Marti Reports are for likely GSA cars (based upon one's AutoCheck history and the other has in-service photos). The other two are for 1990 FHP Mustangs, which should allow us to lock in a high/low range for that batch of VINs. We have Florida DMV "Police Title" histories on 68 cars in this particular batch of VINs.

Here's a SSP I have been wanting to add to the Project for a while. I found the pictures online of the U.S. Border Patrol Mustang, and tried to contact the photographer about them. I made due diligence, but was unsuccessful in my attempt. So I left the photo credits in place for each of his photos. The Marti Report just came in, so I added the car to our Project:

There had been some previous speculation that this car might have been a TxDPS run-out, but the car was ordered by the GSA under DSO #83-0200. Pretty cool!

I think the USBP was very proud of the FIVE POINT OH and wanted to show it off!

All five in that USBP group went to MO originally. So they all could possible be the same DSO.

JF289707 - MO 1988
JF289708 - MO 1988 > Denton 1996-97 > TX 1999 > Dallas 1999-00 > Mequite 2002 > TX 2005 > Mequite 2005 > Dallas 2005
JF289709 - MO 1988 > TX 1988 > Houton 1994 > Wellston OK 1996 > Ada 1996 > Oklahoma City 1997-2013
JF289710 - MO 1988 > TX 1988 > auction 1996 > Houston 1997 > Pearland 1997 > Houston 1997-98 > Richmond 1999-00 > Houston 2001
JF289711 - MO 1988 > Sunland Park NM > 1993 Las Cruces 1998-08

Could be, Mick.

The two 1990 FHPs came back (LF159223 and LF159321), but their DSOs are different. So the one batch had at least two DSOs contained therein, which means I cannot confirm all of the cars with Florida DMV police title histories from that batch. I have a photo of a buck tag for LF159300 that has the same DSO as LF159321, so the 17 or so cars in between with DMV hits can be added.

EDIT:

There is a batch of 48 VINs from 1985 starting with FF208432 which had AutoCheck histories that indicated they were ordered by the GSA. We took a chance to see if they might be SSP Mustangs, and ordered a Marti Report for the first one in the batch. It came back as a regular DSO #83 Mustang. Attached is a PDF copy of the Marti Report.

Bill,
Here's john Gullett's 1990 GSP to add to the VIN Project. He did not even realize it was a GSP.
