ok, i called several places in Arkansas and they all point to the city of West Memphis Arkansas.....
The agencies that i spoke to would were not very helpful , they mention that there is a privacy act and will give no info.. I have sent an email to the city dept so we will see on monday what happens ..

Hector, don't give up your search in finding out about your car...this is half the fun. Welcome to the site, John;)

thanks john ... yeap it's like a puzzle as info comes together on these SSP cars..

we have owned 39 fox mustangs and this is our first SSP ,it's a ton of fun as my kids like that i take them to school in it every morning ...
the weather here in south tx lets us do that ...Lol.

Kind of like when I talked to CHP Motorpool about my '93 SSP. It was before they kept records on computer and all the paper records had been thrown out. So sad. :-(

stadair...
Did you ever find anything on your 93 SSP? History ?
after finding out what dept our cars belonged to it's sad to find that they have thrown info away after 7yrs ???

i have my fingers crossed for next week as i wait on some answers out of the Arkansas dept ...

Hector...you're killing me with the weather. I wish we could enjoy our cars more...nice thing about the SSP's is that they are rolling pieces of history. Best of luck with the search.

No, I have not found out any info on my car. From what I can tell, it did not serve with the CHP as a patrol car as it does not have any mounting holes for anything; radio, antennas, lights, ect. It was painted gray over the B&W. And is now the Reef Blue you see in my pic. The guy I bought it from said that the guy he bought it from was working for the government. My best guess is that CHP decided they didn't need it and shipped it off to some govenment agency like maybe the FBI or DEA where it was painted government gray.

Toshi,

I remember discussing your car.....there are many possibilities out there. I highly doubt, however, that it was painted grey and used by a federal agency. Those agencies, just like the state and local ones, have pretty detailed procedures that they have to follow to sell surplus vehicles (and it would not involve any individual selling it to someone else).

What did you find that made you think your car was still in-service in 2002?

No.No ...
When the Ark DPS fleet Ltn replied to my Vin questions , he replied that once a veh is no longer in service ...records are only kept 7yrs ....


is this what you were asking about ??? not that it was in service up to 2002
