Thanks for the "bump". We need to add your SSP to the Project. 'Will get that taken care of shortly.

Previously we identified a black SSP "Marketing Vehicle" that was equipped the same as the 1982 CHP Mustangs (except as noted on its Build Sheet). Here is a link to that car in our VIN Project, which includes its Marti Report -

We pulled a Marti Report on the second car in that 2-car batch of VINs to see if it was also a Marketing Vehicle. Attached is a copy of that report. Sure enough, it was a WHITE Marketing Vehicle equipped almost identically to the black car (except this one had the high altitude emissions option), and it was ordered by Ford in Arizona.

I wonder if this car happens to be the one pictured below?

Pretty cool stuff!

"Special Service Package" is not in the 'Equipment' list but the special order number (0102) is the same as the 394 CHP coupes?

EDIT: I think the special order number for CF234609 should be 0201, not 0102. I would contact Marti to confirm.

Thank you, Mick! I just sent them an email to ask them to doublecheck the DSO.

[FoxChassis]

I miss-typed the sales office above for CF234609. I typed "76" but it should be "75".

[28HopUp]

I just fixed it for ya.

Good stuff, Bill. Ordered 2 days before the other. Interesting to see it was sent to AZ, and the color combo sure does match the one that AZ tested.

Exciting information! Thanks guys.

The other black car CF234608 does not list the SSP option on the Marti Report either, but the Build Sheet does state that this car was to be built with the same options as the 1982 SSP Mustangs for the CHP (except as noted on the sheet). Given the wording and the six digit DSO number, the black car should be considered a SSP. The white car appears to be optioned the same way as the black car, but without knowing the wording on the Build Sheet we may not be able to call it a SSP despite the six digit DSO number (even though it is likely the car in the Arizona DPS photos).

Kevin replied back last evening to say that the DSO is correctly listed on the report as 750102. He said that it is irrelevant that CHP used 0102 because the last four digits are assigned within a district sales office. He said that each office could use 0102 if they wanted for their own independent use. Kevin agreed that since this was a marketing vehicle, it may have been for ordered to convince the Arizona DPS to buy some SSP Mustangs.

So I learned something about how the DSO numbers were assigned. It's fun to learn new things about these cars.
