Well good luck in your search!
That's some priceless info to acquire...
Hopefully one day soon I'll have permission to post up the GSP documents I have :-)

Nice job everybody!

Uncovered another 1983 SSP
 

Thanks guys!

A few of the Marti Reports on order arrived today. The one I was most interested in was among those which were received. Specifically, it is the VIN immediately ahead of the batch of 1983 Texas DPS Mustangs (24 cars total). Those Texas DPS cars are the ending VINs in that 50-car batch of V8 notchbacks. The AutoCheck reports for those first cars in the batch were interesting, which is why we decided to run reports on the first car in the batch and the last VIN before the Texas cars. Kevin Marti confirmed that the first car in the batch was never built by Ford. However, Marti Auto was able to provide us with a Marti Report for the other VIN, which came back as a SSP -

Check out the DSO, color, and options! Very cool indeed. The car was registered through 2007 in Georgia, too.

Here is the VIN Project page on MF176449...

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info176449.htm


...which is the same DSO as MF176450. Both were shipped to the mid-west about 1 year after being ordered by the Virginia dealer, so it seems as though the cars were never purchased by the original intended buyer.

Bobby will be happy to see that we were able to confirm through Marti that MF176451 was the first VIN in the group of 1991 GSP cars...

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info176451.htm


...with MF176533 being the final GSP in that batch:

1993 FHP in Royal Blue
 

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info154632.htm

This one was in our VIN Project already using the FHP paperwork supplied by Jim Young. I recently found pictures of the car's VIN label and Buck Tags. Checking for the paint code(s), I noticed that this one was originally painted Royal Blue. Pretty cool to see a FHP Mustang painted this color.

1990 Wisconsin (?) SSPs Added
 

A VIN label popped up recently for a likely (but unconfirmed) 1990 Wisconsin SSP, so we pulled a Marti Report for the next VIN. The DSO numbers matched, so we were was able to confirm both VINs as SSP Mustangs -

More to come...

:)

The 1988 CHP Mustangs are contained in a batch of 293 consecutive VINs, with the first cars being Arizona SSP Mustangs, and the last few cars in the batch being unknown. We used AutoCheck reports to identify what we believed to be the last VIN in the group of CHP Mustangs. In order to be sure, we had a Marti Report pulled on JF221638...

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info221638.htm


...which shows a special paint car having the same DSO as other CHP Mustangs that year. We also pulled a Marti Report on the next VIN, JF221639. It is not a SSP, but it did come back as being an ascMcLaren!

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...1639marti1.pdf


Pretty cool! :)

On the 1985 VIN page, there is a 34-car batch of VINs containing an Oklahoma SSP, which is in our Project:

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info197588.htm


When we ran the AutoCheck reports for that batch, we found that the first ones went to Oklahoma as expected. However, the ones at the end all went to a dealer in Omaha, Nebraska. So we pulled two Marti Reports on the last Oklahoma car and the first Nebraska car, according to AutoCheck. The final VIN from Oklahoma came back as a SSP with the same DSO as the known Oklahoma car...

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info197602.htm


...and the next VIN came back as a SSP too -

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info197603.htm


This car has the same DSO as the final VIN in that batch -

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info197619.htm


So we were able to use AutoCheck to determine where the 1985 Oklahoma VINs ended and where the next SSPs (most likely Nebraska) started. :)

Scott recently sent us a Deluxe Marti Report to add to the page for his 1986 Texas DPS car -

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info231681.htm


Thank you! :)

Here's door sticker from that alleged GSP. It turns out it is not a GSP. But it can be added to VIN PROJECT :-)

What is it then (or what was it intended to be originally)? Are the buck tags available?

There is one in the VIN Project in the same group, four VINs later (LF147192), that was allegedly "never in service", different DSO # (21-0044), identified only as "Georgia".

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info147192.htm

It must have been ordered by the State of Georgia for some unknown usage. There are a pair of 1985 SSPs towards the end of the VIN list where one was marked on the build sheet as "CALIFORNIA", as seen here:

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info247583.htm

That car is not a CHP unit, but the State of California bought it for some unknown reason. This wrecked car may also be a similar situation. If the owner cannot find the buck tags, then we will need to add it to our list of VINs for Marti Reports. ;)

As discussed in the part-out thread (which will eventually roll over to subsequent pages in the section as new posts are made), we rec'd a photo of the Buck Tags and were able to confirm the above 1990 State of Georgia car as a SSP -

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...63&postcount=7


As an aside, each time we add a SSP I increase the number listed at the bottom left corner on that year's page of VINs. I just added up the numbers and we now have 2,635 SSP Mustangs documented in our VIN Project. :) And this thread is closing in on having 24K views. Very nice indeed!

Got ahold of some old DOAS papers so until I get permission to release the complete documents I have we can add these 88's as they are from a different source :-)

Page 2

Page three;

I've been promised more as they turn up so cross your fingers.

I'm always exploring different sources and avenues for more history on the GSP's. :-)

AWESOME stuff!!! :2thumbs:


EDIT: Of the 14 SSPs on those three pages, two of them were already in our VIN Project:

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info225774.htm
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...info225775.htm


So we were able to add the permanent numbers to those cars and include the DOAS paperwork for each VIN. I will add the other 12 GSPs as time allows during the holidays. :D

Great stuff!

Bill,
Just noticed a typo. First page Fifth car down list as LTD but is Mustang. Vin and perm are for Mustang and is hand written beside it... Mustang

Good job, Bobby!

With the add'l mis-marked Mustang VIN (found on DOAS paperwork page 1), we were able to add 13 more GSP Mustangs to the 1988 VIN page -

So either Perm 3085 or 3089 is
The one in the pic totaled.
But is more than likely 3085 due to the fact that vin check reports follow 3089 until it was dismantled in 1999. It was however involved in a rear end collision in 1994. The car in the totaled pic was obviously not that old when rear ended. As soon as I get the earlier books I'll be able to confirm which Perm it is for certain.

The totaled I was referring to.

This is more than likely Perm 8085.

Thanks Bobby! :)

Or it could be Perm 3081 (DF188927). The only entries in its AC report are...

05/13/1983 GA Independent Source VEHICLE MANUFACTURED AND SHIPPED TO DEALER
01/23/1986 BYRON, GA Automotive Recycler LAST SEEN AT RECYCLING FACILITY

It's possible. But it was turned in with 90k miles and no notation of being wrecked. That would have been Gary Rogers car (the one by the Guard rail at HQ

Interesting. Looking forward to figuring this mystery out. It's great to have paperwork!

As always, good job Bobby.

Thanks Mick,
I spoke with Gary today and 3081 was turned in by him with 90K miles and in good condition. So it was not wrecked by him... I'll dig through my records again tonight to be certain it was not reissued...

Just got this from a very reliable source about the wrecked 83 GSP in earlier pic.

"I did some checking and some trooper friends of mine and they said this one belonged to Denny Heard #745. This would probably be Post 47. It was wrecked on Ga. 85 in Clayton County. One of the troopers said he went to the scene so I would say the info is accurate."

Still don't have VIN or Perm but in time...
At least I have Badge #to match to perm # now:-)

Once the information becomes available for the other years that GSP bought Mustangs, we should be able to confirm all of the VINs for this agency. :D

I can add this at this time because the owner actually requested his cars info :-)
