Doc 4

Ps I've already documented 19 of the 20 1992's in the Vin Project ( the other one is still a secret for now )

Bobby, I made the requested edit, but in your text you listed his badge number as #561, not #581 as shown in the records. Was it a typo in the text, or do we need the change the name of the Trooper? Also, we will continue to only list the first initial of the Trooper to help preserve his identity. Here is the updated page for this SSP -

I mentioned that this car was totaled in-service but the door was re-used on another GSP unit.

You are correct Bill,
Yesterday was a very long day and I was exhausted last night...lol
Thanks for the corrections

Bill, I now know of at least three donor GSP doors on other GSP Mustangs (another with a non GSP donor door) Maybe we should notate them so if they did escape the crusher or Fire Training Center, it will be documented. But for the most part It can be considered scraped? If one does happen to turn up we can then add it as parted by GSP then rebuilt after auction... Just a thought up to you and Mike though...

Bobby, you quoted my post prior to my edit where I mentioned the car being totaled. That is an assumption on my part, since the car could still exist even though GSP probably sold it as scrap. I changed the page to say the car was wrecked instead of saying it was totaled.

Bobby, please double check the following three pages to make sure I have the GSP information correct -

This particular car I am trying to track down. It most likely has been sold as scrape now. But was still around two years ago. It was hit hard in rear quarter but was pulled and quarter cut off and his body man would not finish it. Since then the prior owner (which bought it at auction) has died. I'm waiting to hear from his sister that managed his estate to see if it's still around... Side note the present owner of these two GSP's in prior picture plans to replace both doors, fenders and hood with mint ones he has saved for its restoration. I have made a deal on those body panels so IF the car turns out to still exist I'll will have the original door. If not I'll have some cool wall art lol

Yes sir but one small detail the door was swapped by a dealer that bought these cars to part sale etc. His yard mechanic broke the drivers window so he swapped the doors instead of simply swapping the glass so door was not swapped by GSP. It is rumored this dealer bought probably 50 or so of these SSP's including some FHP's. He had a large Mustang business back in the day. The GA folks will probably know whom I'm alluding to
