We are not creating VIN pages for them; just making notations on the list of VINs where we know these numbers are not SSP Mustangs.

Thank you Mick for all the work you are doing to help with this project. Years from now people will be very thankful you took the initiative to do this work !!!

Bill I noticed you only have one 1988 Missouri SSP documented in the vin file. Did I send you the documentation from Missouri HP reference confirmation of the other 16 SSP cars they purchased in 1988? If not let remind me when you are here and I can provide you copies of it all. It will confirm all of the cars Missouri purchased that year. I also have a crash report that will confirm a P# and License plate number for another car if it ever surfaces.

We could use more help if anybody wants to pitch in.

Checking for Zimmers is relatively easy to do, it's just a little time consuming. I can show you how. ID'ing them will help eliminate batches in the VIN Project as being possible SSPs, which in turn cuts down on the amount of work we need to do to ID SSPs, and the cost of running vehicle history reports and/or Marti reports.

I have only been keeping track of Zimmer VINs due to the database I started a few years ago for four-eyed Capri and Mustangs. That database led to me approaching Mike about what we know today as the SSP VIN Project.

Jim, please make copies of the MO information and I will pick them up from you when we meet for our trip to the MCA Show in a few weeks.

Mick, your efforts with getting this project started and ongoing are GREATLY appreciated!

This is very true. If anyone wants to do some leg-work by pulling AutoCheck Reports, we could take advantage of their 30-day unlimited offer. Mick & I could prepare a list of VINs in Excel for somebody willing to establish an unlimited AC account (for 30-days). There are 100s of VINs on which we would like to get AC reports. Once a page is pulled up on your browser, there is a way to right-click (at least using FireFox) to save the HTML page in a few keystrokes. Each page could be saved in a folder, and then emailed to me for adding to the Project. We would need to compile the list before somebody opened up the account, which costs $44.99 (which is the same cost for running 3 Marti Reports). The only reason we have held off spending the money is due to the time involved to assemble the list and save the pages. We will finalize the list if somebody wants to run and save them. Please let me know...

Bobby found some pictures online of a 1990 GSP that shows signs of having LoJack antennae on the roof:

I'll offer to pitch in and help out if needed, just let me know.

Thanks Mike! I have some stuff going on this weekend, but I will follow up with you next week.

It's been a few weeks since we have added any SSPs to the project. I added a couple today, and included new pictures for some that were already in our project. The most notable new addition came from pictures taken at the MCA Show in Beaumont of a 1990 TxDPS build sheet that TomM. brought to one of our after-show get-togethers in the hotel lobby:

Thanks Tom!!!

Next week I'll have a Marti Report and door/buck tag photos for a 1993 NHP to submit. It is one VIN before the unconfirmed VIN already on the list and coupled with a NHP memo showing 8 1993 NHP SSPs as of 10/93, confirmation that the NHP had a total of 8 consecutive VIN SSPs in 1993 should be achieved.

[EXNODRAMANOTCH]

Assuming production of SSPs was over by 10/93, then Nevada only had a total of 8 1993 SSPs. This is the same number of consecutive VINs as in the VIN project. The red one below is the SSP I will be submitting info on next week. The last 3 digits of the Trooper ID# were the license plate #.

These are all the cars for the entire state in October 1993. Regions are: 1 Vegas, 2 Reno/Carson, 3 Elko. ID#'s are the Trooper ID# assigned to the car which would be the same as the license plate #.

They are listed by unit number, year, make, model, ID#, and region.
