That's all I get right now. Why can't I see the photos?? I can see the Marti report though.
Same here, Greg. It looks like the original attachment was deleted.

But the owners question is whether or not it's a SSP, not if it was used in service.

Also, this car in question is the one I've been talking with the owner with for some time now.

Right. I didn't mention service use, I think that you did?

If you have pics, which it sounds like you may have seen at some point, can you post them up here for him? It looks like he's having trouble posting them up and the link above is dead.

No, you mentioned service. I was just replying to your comment.

Lets backtrack:

I had seen Fred Johnson listed as owning a 1985 Ford Mustang PSP SSP here:

http://www.sspmustang.org/ssmoa/SSMOA_Members.htm

I tracked him down and contacted and have been trying to get info.

His son Clay contacted me this pass week with this:

Quote:

Hi Jim,

I wanted to get back to you regarding some of the questions that you
have asked my dad since he does not have the time or energy to invest
right now. I have taken over the vehicle and am trying to gather any
info about it to affirm whether or not I should restore it.

We bought it in 1988 with 3k miles on it I beleive from a detective in
the Pittsburg area. It was never used in service and the plastic was
still on the seats. We have a Marti report and it has a 4 digit
(6005) code which leads me to beleive it was an unmarked car. It is a
five speed with hurst shifter. the VIN is XXXXXXXXXXX194570. It also
has stablizer bars and quick release trunk button and came with no
emission control and stainless steel exhaust. The car is crazy fast.

I am happy to assist in any way with pictures or other info. Any of
your help and expertise is appreciated. I have attached a few files
for your reference.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Clay

Fred told me he installed those red deck lights on the package tray years ago.

The post above was what I referenced. If your comment about an agency "using it" didn't refer to service use, my apologies.

Thanks for posting the pics, too, so we can all see what you were referring to.

194570 is not in a consecutive batch of 5.0L coupe VINs, but it is immediately followed by two consecutive 5.0L hatchbacks

Thanks Fox! Regardless if it is a SSP or not, that still looks like a nice notchback...
