Based on my conversations with several of the Marti staff the information we are after is obtainable. Special Service package is clearly indicated on the Marti reports and is the indicator it was a package car.

This is going to be awesome stuff to have. It will be documented directly from Ford Motor Company. I don't think you could ask for a better source for the true build numbers of our cars.

I just made my donation :)

good stuff !!!

It's 100% do-able. Mick from FEP and I were just waiting on the report for my '85 to see if the SS package was listed as an option. It's no different than what they did on the T-roof production numbers FEP members were able to recently obtain. If it was listed an as option, which we verified it was, then the database can be searched.

How about 87-93?

They haven't made those available yet, althought, it is supposed to be very soon (I thought this year still). We should pursue for those as well. Mike M. - How would you suggest donations be identified that are sent and intended for the later year, 87-93, reports?

With Paypal there is an option to include a note with your donation. So you can list how you want your money applied.

I'm sorry to report that we are done with this....for now.

Kevin Marti emailed me and let me know that while the Special Service Package IS listed as an option on each Mustang, it's not "hard coded" (his words) into the database. As a result, it's not searchable. He has to already manually look at each and every one that he does verify as an SSP, which does take him extra time, but he doesn't charge extra.

He did say that he could get at the data by looking at individual orders, but that would take forever, and certainly would be cost-prohibitive.

For now, I think we should focus on the VIN project and verifying cars with the documentation we have coming in....as well as any new Marti reports that are ordered by members.

For those that contributed to this project, I will be refunding your money via Paypal. Thanks for the effort, and if anything changes, I will keep everyone posted.

Sorry...the above answers my question in another post. It's a manual exercise.

Sorry to hear his Mike, but I can understand the difficulties involved. "If only..." comes to mind in terms of being able to search the SSP option versus the DSO's. Thanks for trying!
