The one in the museum is this one, which has carried the same license plate number for years.

It is in a group of 5 consecutive V8 notch VINs.

Cool! That’s great it is in the VIN project!

Received an email to the Museum from a lady that lives in Canada. Her parents purchased a '90 RCMP Mustang SSP when it was auctioned off in '92 / '93. It was the first car they bought as a couple. She stated they took a lot of road trips in it, and did pretty good on keeping it stored in doors. She has been in love with it since she was four and they have just passed it on to her.

In my talks with the President of the Border Patrol Museum, they only had one car. The car was in storage for the longest time, but has had a fresh "resto" and is back on display in the museum. Jim Dorion has some good contacts with the BP.

Great find, love the graphic “ghosting”, after removal.

Cool story! That's in a group of 4 consecutive VINs.

1989 McCullagh Leasing SSP
 
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!

1983 NC SHP SSP
 
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.
