yes I have documents from CHP to prove these statements. I have the corespondence between Ford and CHP about the oil coolers, and I have several original "pilot" car inspection sheets.

We've talked about these before. The problem we recently discussed was whether or not these pilot cars were part of the order (same DSO numbers) or one-offs. Unfortunately, unless you have something that I do not, there aren't VINs listed on the inspection sheets to compare with the batches to be able to tell one way or the other.

Also...I know we were discussing test cars and engineering probes and the like, so are you saying that you have found one of the pilot cars now??
