Yes, the PCSD ran their unit numbers sequentially based upon the VIN. According to Ryan, around that same time period they had a different way to create a car's unit number:
1st Number = Last digit of model year.
Next Three = Last 3 digits of VIN
Some of the early photos of Ryan's and Robert's restored cars had this numbering system on them. Ryan's car (now mine) had 8164 on it in some photos. The PCSD Mustangs may have started out with 81xx numbers and were switched to the #13xx numbers, or they may have always been in the #1300 - #1317 range. That is why the 81xx numbers are also listed on each car's page in the VIN Project, since we do not know exactly when they changed the numbers.
