Possible 88 NY SSP Mustang?
 

Long time Foxbody fan & Owner of many. My 21 year old son somehow slides his way into a 88 Notchback the other day & I believe it may be one of New Yorks Finest. I ran a $6 vin check on it & there is no registration info before 2005. No buck tags..
Vin# 1FABP40E3JF258847. Has one key for doors & ignition & certified/calibrated 140mph speedo. Any help determining if it is or isnt a ssp would be great. Thank you! Sunroof appears to be aftermarket.

Is the door tag legible?

JF258847 is in a known group of NYSP SSPs...

No door tag anymore, Really stinks. As you can see by pics its been altered by what looks like kids. They put Explorer Intake, What sounds to be a E or B cam, Aluminum Radiator & electric fan & Pillar Gauges. I am pretty sure it is a NY SSP car. From what ive read they buy them in order. They bought 40 in 88 & it falls in between 2 confirmed cars.

Because it falls in between confirmed ssp cars does it mean that it was a ssp car for sure?

Being between known NYSP SSPs with the same DSO (13-0490) is a good indication that it is a NYSP SSP and has the same DSO.
