After it had sold, we came to realize that this car had the same VIN as the following 1985 CHP Mustang -






Which is the car shown in the following in-service picture -




That's right! A SMPV Mustang from the 1987 pilot year of the program has finally been found. It's one of 15 cars, according to a news article found by Jack aka Va 5.0, as discussed here -

This would not have been possible with Rich's help. I sent the seller a deposit, and overnighted the balance in USPS money orders to Rich, who drove 7 hours to meet with the seller this morning. Rich just picked up the car, and is driving back to his place with the SMPV. He has offered to keep the car until I make arrangements to bring the car out East.

THANK YOU, Rich!

Thanks for the kind words Bill!!

I would like everyone to know that we found this car over a year ago and before Bill could research the vin THE CAR WAS SOLD. Bill was disapointed to say the least.
I told Bill that I would be on a daily mission to locate this car! I really had a gut feeling I would find this car again.
I was up late the other nite and found this 85 and text bill with the craigslist listing. Bill contacted the seller and asked for the vin and there it was!!! I was NOT going to let this car get away this time... lol...
