Is it heading your way to go with your other SSP?

Ha! No, I wasn't the bidder on that one however I did watch it though from the start of the auction. It's a shame it has extensive rot at the A-pillars, especially driver side where 90% of the A-pillar is totally gone from the bottom going up to roof.

I mean it can definitely be saved, that was a bargain price - but it definitely needs a total tear down and extensive rust repair, let alone it was mentioned it also had a locked engine and trans. Engine and trans if totally seized due to flood waters would need extensive repair or replacement. If it had that much rust topside, I can only imagine what it looks like under it... ?

Did another SSP Member get it?

I'm not sure who bought it. Hopefully it gets used in some way to benefit the hobby.

This 86 CHP car has some interesting documentation, with an in-service photo subsequently posted on FB by our own Jack K...

...and the Special Equipment Parts List confirms there were 168 SSPs in that DSO number, which coincidentally is the same number of consecutive VINs in that batch of cars. So the entire batch of VINs can now be confirmed as SSP Mustangs, like this one -

Great use of the data!

Yesterday, I ran down to Georgia to catch up with Gregg and Bonnie. Jim Y arranged a get-together, and I was able to ride down for a quick visit. It was great seeing them all again, and I look forward to attending the MCA Show in Savannah with Gregg & Bonnie later this year.

As an added perk, I had the pleasure of driving their sweet 1981 T-top (it was a real treat for me).

Gregg later broke out a photo album of the 1989 FHP they had many years ago. Although the car may be gone, it lives on in our VIN Project using a picture of the FHP title application for FHP435, as now seen here:

Thanks again for the hospitality. 'See y'all in a few months.
