Default 1983 GSP Mustang (un)marked

Found a undercover GSP Mustang listed as Dark Brown.
VIN #
1FABP26F0DF218167

Will be interesting to see if it is a SSP or not.

I have Perm / Badge & Post #'s also.

Would love for this car to turn up one day!

Will be trying to make contact with the officer that drove it Friday evening when his shift starts back. ( Hoping he'll have some pics! ).

Awesome! That'll be fun tracking down whether it's an ssp or not.

I also found 2 undercover 1992 Alabama coupes that we had but I don't think they were ssp's. One thing that I found in the 17 folders of the marked units, was they taped spare keys to the back of the folders. And looking in the folders for the 2 undercovers, there was two keys instead if just one. So that leads me to believe they weren't ssp's.

Kewl stuff!

I'm gonna get a Marti report on it just to see.
I'd also like to do a Vin check just to see if it's still around...

Brad,
I think you like this stuff as much as I Do :-) LOL

It is a single VIN, i.e. not in a group of two or more consecutive 5.0L coupes. Autocheck and Carfax each show 1 record, which is probably just the "manufactured and shipped to dealer" entry in 1983.

Yep, I need to at least order a Marti on one of those 92's just to make sure.

Your right Bobby, I do enjoy it a little. Researching these cars is half the fun I think!

Remember Single Key was an option not always taken. Texas DPS did 2 key in 90.
