I am just going off of other (four-eyed) special order sheets that I have seen, from acsMcLarens, Saleens, SSPs, etc., where the remarks mention replacing the standard seats with other seats.

Let me know what you find out, whenever you can. I've never seen anything about the seats down below in the remarks that I can remember (in SSPs only), but maybe it was just a part number mentioned?

Are we really now able to determine how many SSP Mustangs were built? If so, then one of us with a good relationship with Kevin Marti needs to contact him ASAP.

I don't think so, Bill. I thought we approached him awhile back on this, and he said that it couldn't be done? Something about the SSP option not being searchable in the database.

That was my understanding as well, so I was surprised to see the SSP determination being made on the elite report for this 93 Calypso car. Maybe something has changed? It could be that the special paint cars may not be searchable for the SSP option. Still, I wonder if it might be worthwhile to send him an email with this elite report attached and ask him about it. You know me; I'm always willing to pursue lost causes in the search for SSP documentation. But I wonder if you would have better success with Kevin since you are a recent customer of his. It's been a while since I have ordered a batch of Marti Reports.

I just tried calling and reached a staff member whom said "we dont have that information out yet" it's coming but not available yet....

That sounds promising at least. Thanks for asking them about it.

OK, I just looked at the build sheets in the Tech section here. I don't see anything in the remarks section on any of them about changing seats, other than reinforced seatbacks on the 1984 and 1985 sheets.

http://www.specialservicemustang.net/Build.html

The last sheet on that page (1993 FHP, PF154606) has "G6" for the trim code. Other FHPs in the VIN Project with the same DSO have "D6" for their trim code on their respective door tag.

Looking at the next two build sheets up from the bottom (1992 FHP and 1992 CHP) I see "FA" trim code for cloth seats.

The next one up (1992 Gainesville FL) has "DA" trim code, and the Marti report on its VIN Project page also shows the same trim code.

I will have to look at the database later and see what kind of door tag code and buck tag code patterns emerge.

Not sure if I have ever posted an interior shot...

I agree TOTALLY! !

OK, reviewed what I have entered into the database so far. No D_ trim in LX 5.0L coupes before 1991, which is consistent with what the factory docs say. What I do have so far entered into the database is this:

1991
Most SSPs have F_ trim on the door tag but three so far have D_ trim...

UCLA - MF125461
GSA - MF161590
unknown - MF176449

The UCLA and GSA cars have DA (A/S grey) code trim on their door and buck tags. The unknown car we only have a Marti report. The report shows A/S black interior (DJ).

1992
Again, most SSPs have F_ trim but two so far have DA trim...

KSP - NF131914
KSP - NF131920

We have a buck tag only for NF131914 and it also has DA trim on that tag.

1993
This year all 71 SSPs that I have a door tag or Marti report for have D_ trim. Of the 14 that I have a clear shot of the trim code on the buck tag, all of them have a "G6" code. I have bunches of others that have a G6 code on the door tag, all of them LXes.
