This car was one of the 30 cars that didn't go to Highway Patrol use in 1993.

Got my "Build Sheet" today for my '93 SSP, CHP. It's not at all what I expected. It showed the same, 225/55 R16 for the wheels. I'll scan it and post later for all to see.

Here's the "Build Sheet" I received today. Like I said before, not quite what I expected. I was expecting something more 'form' like.

What year is your car?

Thanks for posting yours up, Toshi. I've never bothered asking them for any of mine, since I've heard about experiences such as yours.

I learned nothing from it that I didn't already know. I HAD the phone number to call if I needed any other info, but my WIFE erased it off the answering machine. I would have called and asked what this piece of paper I received was?

Just phoned in an order of building sheets for the 92 MSP and 93 MSHP SSPs. Like you I'm sure the results will be underwhelming, but it doesn't cost anything so what the heck! Per the rep on the phone 7-10 days before they arrive in the mail. Thanks again for posting the phone number, Bob. For anyone contemplating the phone number vs. the email address don't bother with the email.

I sent for one on a 1984 F150 that i did a Driver / Resto on
and it is printed on heavy stock paper suitable for display
said 5.0 Canyon Red paint yadie yadie yadie looked good
and was ALL correct except this one item...... and it's
the reason i have NOT displayed it with my documentation
it said the truck has cruse control AND it does not
AND as far as i can see/determine It never had cruse?
but the price was good............................FREE

From the agency, not the factory.

Although you weren't soliciting opinions, I think those 16" 'snowflake' Turbo Coupe wheels would look great blacked out with the stock center caps. I have an extra set if you'd like to have a spare (I considered doing that myself).

Interesting topic on the research information. I ran that VIN through my Ford fleet access site and came up with similar results as found on the top of what the researchers found:

Restraint System Type (Passenger Cars) or Brake Type and GVWR Class (Trucks and Vans) - 4th Position

Additional Information
Wheel Axles Wheelbase 201.0 (which seems wrong to me as a wheelbase but not overall length)

Usually I've found that there is information out there on the sequences but it seems that the full build information is not released when you ask Ford for their research group to look at them.
