Proud new owner: 1993 CHP SSP

Just picked up my first SSP! 1993 CHP.

My buddy got me interested in mustangs a few years ago, and then SSPs a little while back. Ive been looking for a 93 CHP SSP for a while now but they are pretty expensive down here and difficult to find! When I saw this one in Eugene, OR for $2500 I had to jump on it. I live in Corona (socal) had to take a plane up to Oregon, and drove it all the way back this past weekend. Fun drive in my new SSP!

It isnt in fantastic shape but it is definitely salvageable. No rust, motor is beat tho and chassis has just under 290k miles, I think it is in great shape for the beginning of a project tho. Still need to do a lot of looking around the car though just to familiarize myself with it. I am looking forward to the project!

Anyways, now the real work begins! The previous owner told me over the phone that he knew it was an interceptor but he did not have any of the info for the agency or area it serviced and he said it had no markings anywhere on the car... But when I got it home I checked behind the headlight and the original tags where still attached! I couldnt however locate any markings that show the unit number. In the pic you can see that the door sticker was removed and the unit number appears to have been sanded off. But it looks like the original door because it has some reflective tape that was painted over. I am going to try slowly sanding off the paint on the inside of the door and see if I can uncover a unit number. I poked around a lot of the car and couldnt find anything but Im sure I will figure it out. Next step is register in CA again and request the DMV history to try and trace back to original plate.

I would really like to get some info on the service life of the car and a little background on whos it was, if it was ever damaged or any cool history behind it. Does anyone know how I can start looking for this info?

Unfortunately, this is the only picture I could add rightnow. The rest need to be resized so Im going to need to figure out how to get that done. Il post the rest when I accomplish the resizing!

Got it! Here are the rest of the pics ive snapped so far.

Does anyone know what that barcode is? it was on the inside of the drivers door where the unit number would normally be found.

Also, I have unlimited carfax for the rest about 20 days, as long as you have the plate number I can run them for you. Just ask
