GSA commonly orders both package and non-package cars. In fact, most of what they order are not package cars. A good, current example of this are the Dodge Chargers currently in-service; many are regular-production cars. A good example of this in the past (SSP) is with the red Mustang that was seen in the film, "The Silence of the Lambs". It was a DSO 83 (government) car, but was NOT an SSP.

How did we arrive at that (not an SSP)? Has someone actually landed that car and reported it out? Thanks.

It came from me. I talked with the agency that wrecked it and I was allowed to take pictures of what was left of it.

Below is a pic:

Here is a pic I took of the door tag (zoomed in). It clearly shows the 2 digit DSO (83) and lack of a 4 digit special order number.

That's interesting. Do you know how it ended up in the movie? Did agency using it loan it out?

It was an FBI training car, and that scene was filmed at the academy.
