Default First GSP cars?

What year were georgia's first ssp cars. I know a guy who has had a 4 eyed car sitting behind his shop for a while now and was told it's a old gsp car. I've never seen a 4 eyed Ga car so didn't think much about it. But if they were built I'll go check it out, if not I'll ignore it like I've been doing. It's really a rough car from what I recall of it.Thanks and glad I stumbled onto this site !!!

1983 was the first year. Even it's a later four-eye it's worth restoring too.
Use this info to verify it. http://www.specialservicemustang.net/DSO.html http://www.specialservicemustang.net/Doortags.html http://www.specialservicemustang.net/Bucktags.html But sometimes you get a car were the buck tags were removed and door was replaced. I bought a '85 FHP like that. But it still had the 140 speedo and floor plan reinforcement along with a few other things, so sometimes you have to look for other clues.

There is a pic of an '83 GSP car in the Articles/Gallery section (the one Brian posted), and that's one of the only 4-eyed GSP cars I've ever seen a picture of (the other was also an '83). Someone recently posted that GA ran them in '85-'86, but I've never seen one.

Please keep us posted on what you find out.

You are quite the detective, Mick!

EDIT: and looking at the first post I never realized that Bobby has been a member here longer than I have been.

Finally I've been questioning Bill about those particular 10 for a while now but never ran reports on them! I've been suspecting them since this project first got started! :-) that makes me VERY HAPPY!!! Thanks for running those reports Mick!
