Hello guys. I've been an SSP owner for 7 years and wanted to know how to share (and find out) information about my vehicle. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

...forgot to add info (haven't had my coffee yet):
1989 Georgia SSP, DSO 21-0236, State Police, 1FABP40E6KF289902. I purchased the car from a private owner in NC several years ago. The car was already repainted blue and the original rims were not on the car when I purchased it. Basically a standard looking Mustang Coupe that you wouldn't know was an SSP unless you saw the buck tags and a few miscellaneous parts specific to SSPs. Beyond that, I do not know the history. |
Norm, welcome to the forum!
Thank you for providing your VIN and DSO number. Your car has the same DSO number as some other SSPs that are identified as being from Hall County (which is located NE of Atlanta). Here are their pages in our VIN Project - http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info289898.htm http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info289900.htm http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info289907.htm I am no expert on the Hall County cars, so I hope someone else will chine in. The above cars are all listed as unconfirmed agency usage because no documentation has been published to confirm that they were used by that agency. I have a feeling that your car was not used by the GSP. We have a resident GSP expert, kapracing, who has a complete list of VINs used by the GSP. I will let him weigh in... Please post up some photos when you can. We LOVE seeing pics of SSP Mustangs. :) |
Welcome to the site. +1 on the pics.

I have attachd pics of the car, part of the dash, and buck tags. I couldn't get a decent pic of the buck tags because they were folded in half so I had to remove them; each attached with a single phillips screw; not stapled. Door placard is not present on the car. Engine bay, door jambs and complete exterior was painted before I owned it. I didn't purchase the car because I thought it was an SSP and it wasn't sold to me with that info. So, I'm not sure if the owner knew it was an SSP or not. I purchased it because it was a nice looking and running coupe. Later I thought it may have been an SSP based upon some options that it had and the discovery of 2 buck tags.

1989 DSO 21-0235 were marked GSPs. Could 1989 DSO 21-0236 be unmarked GSPs?

Norm,
In the project confirmed is usually agency used... but maybe Bill will chime in on all that... GSP ordered only 42 mustangs in 89. I'll be posting up all the vins in the future per my agreement with the person retired from GSP that provided me with the documentation... As of now it is not known exactly how many Hall Co. ordered... I hope this helps explain some... |
Ps a SSP could have GEORGIA on buck tag but still not be a GSP... I know it's confusing I wish they would have just put the ordering agency on each and every one of them... That would have been a big help..,

Those 42 vins are the only ones ordered and used by the GSP for 1989. I'll try to see if anyone knows anyone that may be familair with the Hall county cars as that what I'm fairly certain your is... |
Norm,
Your bucktags confirm the car as an SSP. We have a ton of cars on the list with unconfirmed agency usage, many are also confirmed SSP cars. Sometimes, it's easier to show what it is and not what agency it came from. |
I'm confused by "STATE" being on these 21-0236 units. Why would that be if they were originally used by Hall County? A grant perhaps? Or perhaps Hall Co got them second-hand after the 1st agency used them?

I owned this one a few years back. It is believed to be a Cobb Co SSP. But has Georgia on buck tag as well. I have the complete GSP GBI usage records which this and the Hall Co cars were NOT a part of. Somehow when ordered by local agencies these cars evidently got labeled Georgia on buck tags... Could there be another State agency that ordered some SSP's? Possibly we know the DOR ordered one in 84... |
