Default 87 TxDPS Field Find!!

Today my buddy stumbled on this 87 TxDPS in a mustang graveyard. Buck tags and door label are intact. Its missing just about everything else. Whats left is no good. We are going this weekend to dig it out and get to a roller status and then the fun begins!! Dont you love the day when you bring one home?

Looks like 184629. Within a batch of 120 consecutive VINs.

Nice find.

That's going to be an incredible save!

This car's VIN is 11 consecutive numbers away from another documented Texas DPS car. Using some of your pictures, this SSP was added to our VIN project -

No, thank you for posting up the pictures (and the planned save). As more and more SSP's are found, existing cars listed in the VIN project may help verify these cars. We've only scratched the surface on the number of SSP's out there.

Don't throw away the seats because remember they are reinforced. Late Model can order you Blue Seat Belts.
