I consider the $5.00 per car that I spent with Kevin Marti to have him match the factory color to the VIN for the 20 MN State Patrol SSPs (and verify the MN DSO) as money well spent for the common cause.

Bob, I agree with you that the time/money spent with Kevin Marti is well worth it.

I have also learned through this effort that everything is not black & white in terms of documentation. We have seen official CHP paperwork touting X number of Mustangs on one hand, yet other paperwork indicating a different number of cars. Although I would love to be able to say with 100% certainty that a given number of SSPs were actually built that first year, we just are not to that point (yet).

[it's still fun to try though!]

:D

Our SSP History Page and the SSP FAQs Page have both been updated with the new information we learned about the 1982 SSPs.
