> SSP VIN Research <
Due to discussions in the past on this subject, as well as recently in the thread below:
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...?t=3140&page=2 I'd like to put a call out there for anyone who has done VIN research for a specific agency/year and wants to share. I'm not trying to put together a "registry", as I don't really think it's feasible to do so. I would, however, like to work towards a page that shows VIN ranges for a particular order, backed up by pics of door tags, buck tags, build sheets, special parts lists, or other documentation. This could he helpful for someone who is trying to figure out what they have, as well as additional documentation for those who do already know or may be looking for more info. FoxChassis has already volunteered to assist by providing some of his years worth of VIN compiling, so this has the potential to be something really special. ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ==========

Sounds great Mike - way to go! I'm not sure that I'd be of any help to you or not, but I'll at least encourage your efforts!

Mike now has lists of consecutive (3 or more) 5.0L coupe VINs for '82 through '86 model years. Working on '87+ now.

Mike, have you figured out how you will be making the data accessible? I know the problem with the other SSP VIN Registry is the need to keep the information current and correct. The vBulletin software has a provision for creating a TimeSlip Database for forums that have a racing section. I wonder if something like that VB feature could be used in this situation?

We're definitely due for a software update, but I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible. Mick sent me the data in .txt format, and I'll be going through the door data tags, build sheets, and other forms of documentation for each order number (both what he sent, and what we have) to correlate with the VINs.
What I'm envisioning is a list of VINs, organized by year, with hyperlinks on the VINs we have info on relating to agency usage, DSO number, etc. This will only be for those cars we've verified. Guys, I know many of you have pics of cars in junkyards, bucktags from wrecks, or have done specific research for VINs from a specific agency. If so, please post them up in this thread so we can add those into the process. Bill, I think we can edit the page (keep it updated) from what gets posted in here and verified.

Mike - I'm in favor of anything we can do to further the research on SSPs. Documenting what we find is a big part of that effort to ensure it doesn't become lost or can't be shared. Not sure how much I can help but am happy to do so wherever I can add value. I do have a little more than 1/3 of the Minnesota SSP VINs identified. Those have been shared and posted on .Org. I did't really notice if the Michigan VINs have been posted but if not I'll be sharing those and happy to with you as well.

Here's VIN door sticker and buck tag from a 91 FHP for your list. I'd imagine you've already got the 84 FHP we've been discusing and my 89 georgia ssp?...
