I cannot make out the "total units" number on the Ford special equipment parts list that Greg posted HERE. Does anybody know what it is?
|
My guess is 5
|
There were six WHP Mustangs. I will have to look at that sheet when I get home. Remember, Sgt. Townsend's Mustang is not in the sequential VIN list. Jonathon now has that car.
|
5 would make sense as we have 5 consecutive VINS and Sgt. Townsends car followed. However, this looks like 0003. It is definitely closed on the top right like a 3 where the 5 would be open. It matches the other 3s on the page.

Finally had some time to go over to storage and get a few pictures. The story on our car is that the WHP mechanic started making modifications to it while the car was in-service. Because of how well it was taken car of, he purchased it when it was retired from service and continued the modifications. I'm still going through the receipts, but I know it has a forged bottom end, GT40 tubular intake, cam, longtube headers... It is a beast to drive!
|
Very cool! :cool: I'm glad you (with Greg's help) were able to save this one. :)

Just recently picked up a Wyoming trooper car.
Any more news on matching the other vins to unit #s? Thanks Vin# 1FABP40E9JF202251 |
3rd WHP?
Can you give us details of where you found it? Photos? I have no new data to match up the VINs but you just renewed my efforts. This is great news. Only 3 more to go, including the first one previously found. Congratulations on a rare find if this is truly 202251. Details, please!
|
Whoa. More details for sure!
|
Nice that another one has surfaced. What are your plans for it?

Plans are to restore it close to original as possible. Seems to be mostly intact. Has bucktags cluster even has original tape player. Had an ugly gray dash cover. Not many pics yet but here is one. Looking under the car it looks extremely clean no rust. Has some surface rust and interior is in need of serious cleaning. As far as story not a whole lot other than original guy who had it just left it sitting outside a barn for many many years.
Thank you for all the great info photos and stories. |
It still has the white roof! And spotlight! Please verify...Unity S6?
So, you’ve been looking for an SSP. How and where did you find this one and did you know it was Wyoming before you bought it? Did the seller not have any of the original documentation? Congrats! We need photos of the door decal and buck tags. Interior dash holes and console as well. Would like to match them up to mine. I found some curious holes in the trans tunnel on mine over the summer. It would place a mount of some kind behind the driver against the floorboard. |
From my understanding the original owner just let it sit for many years the guy I purchased it from had bought it several years ago and just let it sit as well. And I haven't even looked at it for more than a few minutes. The guy I purchased it from only bought it because he thought the cop light was cool he had no idea what an ssp was or anything about it.
I did however look at the spotlight and it is an s6. Basically picked it up dropped it off in storage. I got it right out side of Kansas ,Co line from behind an old barn in the middle of nowhere. Will be glad to get pics of the holes / bucktags ... And a friend sent me a number from a listing where it had been for sale for a couple months for dirt cheap called thinking no possible way it was still for sale and he said it was. My first question was does it have bucktags he had no clue. I looked up on the Vin project and got the 6 vin's and asked him if his matched and he sent me a pic of the VIN on the title. It matched. It'll probably take me a few days to get back over to take pics gotta get caught back up on work but will take pics of anything that can help give more insight on what they did or didn't have. |
Thanks for finding and saving another piece of history. Great save indeed. I left a voicemail for one of the SSP drivers today that I’ve talked to before. I’ll warn you, he wants his car back. LOL Look for hail damage to the roof. Of course, that could have happened to any of them sitting outside in that area for so many years. PM me for my contact information. Document everything you can as these are the only 6 SSPs Wyoming used that we know of. I haven’t found my build sheet yet. Would be great if yours could be located.

What an awesome find! Thanks for saving it!! There's a wealth of knowledge in this forum and through the hard work of Wolfe1013. Keep us in the loop, and let us know how we can help.
|
Not sure how to reply directly lol so if I miss responding to anything specific just let me know...
Had a few minutes today to pull carpet up and found a few interesting things along the way. The first was a Winchester 380 auto bullet that had fallen up under the console. Then when I pulled seat up found a paint can top that says DSO police... As well as a inspection? Paper and a tag on the dash that may have fell off of equipment?? Trying to upload pictures |

Bullet/ radio tag?

Almost forgot to mention after putting a little water on the rear deck lid the faint appearance of where 2 numbers used to be.. 77. You can see that and also where state trooper was at one time. It's very very faint.

HP 22 has been found!!

HP 22 has been found, folks. Badge 77. Steve Keigley. He’s the one I called yesterday and the one who wants his car back. Hail damage the first year he had it. Roof was peppered good.
|
Introduce yourself to the group. You can now start your own thread in this Members’ SSPs area. Congratulations!! How’s that for a quick ID. Your car’s driver info is:
Stephen W. Keigley, Badge # 77, HP 22, Division F, District 1, Guernsey, WY (1980-1998) |
Great Find
Awesome find can't wait to see more. Congrats
|
Good stuff!!
I bet the build sheet is back there, too. What a find.... |
Awesome find! Nice to see they are still out there! And from a state that only ordered a few. Super cool!
|
Very cool story developing. Whether the assigned trooper gets his car back, or not, by all means, get him back behind the wheel one day.
|
Great documentation you've got. Paint can lids have been found before. I'm sure a search on the forum could yield pics. That'd be kind of cool if the same person was writing on them.
|
A fun read of the backstory on the one recently posted about. Welcome to the forum.

It’s been a couple years since HP22 surfaced then quickly disappeared again. The car that spent much of its civilian life beside a barn out west, was now sitting next to a trailer on a rural road north of Atlanta.
Much of HP22’s interior was gone and the fenders and front bumper had been swapped with parts from a blue car. After digging out its original fenders from a...scrap pile, I was on my way back to Atlanta with the car. 6 months later and after a lot of undoing what had been done, HP22 shipped off to an incredibly, well deserving home a couple weeks ago. Here’s HP22 looking the part again. |
I'm glad you found a deserving new home for this rare SSP. :)
