Mick,

Oscala is probably a typo for Ocala.

Can you run the 85 Colorado cars up when you get a sec?
1FABP26MXFF235057 is the last of the run. I found the auction listing for 235053 in there as well.

Mike, you've been holding out on me! Can you attach or email me the information on those cars for the Project?

[ImEvil1]

I will when I get to a real computer.

Not really, but y'all may find it somewhat interesting. At the bottom of the VIN listings for each year, I recently added a number in the lower left corner of each page. That number is the total SSPs documented for that particular year. The number will increase as future links are activated, which will make it easier to keep track of the total number of cars in our VIN Project. As of today, the numbers break down as follows:

1982. . .94
1983. . .31
1984. . .80
1985. . 237
1986. . 172
1987. . 379
1988. . 236
1989. . 352
1990. . 185
1991. . 158
1992. . 200
1993. . 423
------------
TOTAL 2,547 SSPs

I had a PM exchange with a member today about the Marti Reports. I commented that there are 30 VINs (CHP, FHP, AzDPS, and NYSP) on my immediate list to be pulled by the end of January as funds allow. There are another 15 or so VINs (many different agencies) that are on my "want" list. Then there are another 27 VINs for suspected Texas DPS cars (which I may not need to pull if some documentation comes in). At a cost of $15 per report, the total gets rather expensive. He recommended that I consider posting up a Paypal link in case any of you want to contribute financially.

I'm not well acquainted with how Paypal works in terms of establishing a pay button/link, but if anyone wants to contribute to our VIN Project, my Paypal account is mm750 [at] comcast [dot] net (use the actual symbols and remove the spaces). I will gladly acknowledge in this thread everyone who contributes (unless they want to keep their name out of it). There's no obligation here - we're all friends so any amount is welcome. It's a bit awkward for me to even post this up, but this is something we can do for the benefit of the hobby.

Danny Jenkins recently picked up another SSP - a 1987 Utah Highway Patrol SSP Mustang...

...that was also used by Daggett County. Danny took the time when picking up the car to stop at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Those photos were also included in the Project.

As I was going through some electronic files, I found two photos of two similar SMPV cars from the 1989 CHP program. At the time the photos were saved, we did not have the VIN Project in full swing. Now I was able to cross reference the unit numbers on the license plates to two VINs that were confirmed CHP cars but had not been identified as being cars used as Specially Marked Patrol Vehicles.
