Hi all-

I've been desperately trying to find the service history and even the E-plate number on my 1992 CHP Mustang, unit number 9186 that according to the buck tags, was destined for San Jose.
I've seen the DMV smog history search page and found the info of my current plate, but when I tried what I thought was my E plate based on other 1992 cars, even other Bay Area cars (E389186), all I got was info for a 2000 Crown Vic. I wonder if there's a chance the CHP re-uses the plates or possibly, I'm just guessing wrong.
Nonetheless, I was searching around and found this Ca smog document. In this document SOME of the SSP Mustangs can be found by their E-plate number in one area (by year) and also by the VIN. So while the two aren't connected on this paper, if you have say, a 92 Mustang that was an SSP car and you think you know the plate, this form might back up your educated guesses as far as your plate number. I found my VIN, which links to a 1992 Mustang, but as for what I thought my E-plate was, well, it doesn't have any car info next to it. Bummer!
Hope this helps some of you:

Scroll down, there are many pages blank, but I promise there is a ton of info in there. I didn't download it, I just reviewed it.
