Does your SSP have the same DSO number on the driver's door VIN label as the car linked to above (which MAY be a OSP car)? Here is the info that turned up on AutoCheck -

So your car was ordered by a dealer in Washington state. My guess is your car was used by either the WSP or OSP.

Bill do we know the original (1988) destination of all 17 in that batch?

[FoxChassis]

I have no idea where I got the number "17" from in my two posts above but that batch has 22 in it.

1988 model year Missouri SSPs were auto transmissions. I think the VIN numbers are out there on those the MSHP ordered that year too, perhaps by members on this forum.

[Mustang Kid]

I'm gonna say WSP. Ordered In Washington, white with blue interior, single and spotlight. The two holes at the top of the dash in the center might have been for their switch box that was mounted in that spot on the dash.
OSP wouldn't be ordering their cars out of Washington.

Gotcha, had to clean the glasses to see the little dso. Yes it is the same.

OSP cars have been verified with the DSO 74 ordering district on them.

[FoxChassis]

OSPs were ordered through DSO 74 (Seattle) but all of the Marti reports that I have seen show them being sold through Damerow Beaverton Ford (dealer # 74C017) in Beaverton, OR.

Thanks very much for that info. The guy I bought it from was deployed when it was purchased by his wife. He said it had been sitting awhile when he got it.

Here's my door, I did not see a DSO....

[FoxChassis]

On your door tag, directly above "DSO" is a six digit number.

It is 740023, same as the other car already in the VIN Project.

74 = Seattle (WA) district sales office
0023 = domestic special order #0023 (for the 1988 model year)

Mustangs with six-digit DSOs are usually, but not always, SSPs.
