The following car showed up online, where the new owner thinks it to be a Connecticut SSP -

McCullagh Leasing would likely be the leasing company that the State of CT used for acquiring vehicles. Here is another "likely" Connecticut SSP that is one digit less for the VIN with the same DSO number -

I ran into a gentleman at Foxtoberfest who owns a 1983 North Carolina State Highway Patrol SSP Mustang. He did not bring the car because he has torn into it for restoration. Of particular interest is the Build Sheet he found inside the interior panel.

This is the 3rd of 50 1983 NCSHP cars to surface. This one was an unmarked unit (like all 1983 NCSHP Mustangs) in tan, with a copper pinstripe and the walnut interior. It is worth noting that the car was equipped with the 4spd and 14" turbine wheel covers. Very cool!

That’s a cool find Bill! Thanks for sharing!

Bill, that was a great find; like a needle in a haystack! Enjoyed talking with him and his dad. Hopefully he'll bring it to Foxtoberfest 2025.

An 84 TXDPS SSP showed up on FB, and the owner posted photos of its Build Sheet -

It does not appear as though this one will be restored to stock, but it is great having the Build Sheet with clear detail of the upper corner -



The DSO number for this car is 57-0131. Perhaps I never realized it, but the first 2 digits of the DSO have their own meaning. The first digit is the REGION (geographically), and the second digit is the DISTRICT within the REGION. The last four digits are the Special Order Number, which we knew. I was unaware of the differentiation on the first two digits.

Another great document.
