    Default 1985 TxDPS SSP Added to VIN Project

    Previously, we had confirmed a 1985 Texas Dept. of Public Safety Mustang in our VIN Project through old auction records when the car was sold. This particular car was not part of the same batch of VINs as the special-paint, marked 1985 Mustangs, and we wanted to make sure that this one was not a civilian V8 coupe. So we ordered a Marti Report, which we added to the car's page in our VIN Project:

    As you can see, this Mustang was a single color car (1B), used for who knows what purpose by the TxDPS. Pretty cool!
