ChrisL posted an update on Dan's 86 FHP, as seen here:

Chris just sent me a PDF file of the Marti Report for this car, which I used to create the following page for this SSP in our VIN Project:

Note that this car is near the end of a batch of 60 cars, and that the DSO is #24-0243. There is a one-car gap between this batch and the next batch of 104 cars containing FHP Mustangs with the same DSO. So my question is - Did Ford insert 248593 (if built at all) in-between cars with the same DSO, or is this car actually part of a larger group of cars?

It might be the same type of issue that Mick and I were recently discussing. If there aren't any records, it might not have been included in the consecutive list to begin with. I'm betting that we are talking about one big group of consecutive cars with different order numbers in them.

I just checked GF248593 with all possible body and engine codes. No records for any of them with either AutoCheck or Carfax. So either Ford didn't build a car with that CUN or it did and that CUN has no manufacture/ship-to record and no registration/inspection/accident/etc records, and therefore has no history to report.

Interesting! Thanks Mick

Could it be the car was exported. Have you come across any cars, not necessarily SSP that show to have been built for export to other countries.

If I were to guess, I'd say that the VIN was never assigned by Ford (as they did with the last 6 VINs in the batch of 400 CHP Mustangs in 1982). Kevin Marti might be able to find out, but I'm not sure the time and effort would be worth it on this VIN.

It would be interesting to know, since we may have more problems with these types of records down the road.
