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

Great save! Glad it made the trip back to CA. What are your plans for the car?

Sweet! Glad someone saved it from being turned into something it shouldn't be

Looks like the door was replaced. When the cars were repainted before the CHP sold them on their car lot, generally the door tags were taped off, and door jams left unsanded before paint(unit # readable). The CHP office auto tech where the car served most likely put the reflective tape on the replacement door, pretty sure it was something every CHP vehicle had to have.
My dad has a twin to this car. You can see it in one of the recent threads I have posted.

What are your plans in the long run? You can't find out where a vehicle served unless you have the unit number or the plate(last four digits are the same), then only hope the assignment card still exists.

Can you run VINs on Carfax? Pretty sure you can... I have a 92 GT that needs to be run if thats ok?

You don't find many as nice as the one you bought, especially with the "CHP Repaint"

First off - welcome to the forum. Your SSP looks very nice, and I bet you enjoyed every mile on the way home.

Using some of your pictures, I created a page for your car in our VIN Project:

In terms of that bar code, I know that Toshi's 93 CHP Mustang has a similar bar code, but with only 8 numbers:

And if you can run some CARFAX reports by VIN, I have a few and Bobby aka kapracing has several as well. Let us know and we will send you the numbers. I appreciate your kind offer.

Welcome and congrats on the save !
You have a good CHP Mustang there and I am sure you'll make her even better !

I remember those bar codes were for auto theft purposes if I am correct.
Correct me guys if I am wrong.
They came out about 1992 and were on all body parts of cars. It was an easier way to identify if parts were stolen if those codes did not match on the rest of the car or were missing / destryoed.
That is all I remember about those small stickers. They were for auto theft purposes for body parts on cars.
Mine are all pinted over on my car, but still there.
If I remember right, if they are removed, it destroys the numbers on the sticker. Makes them gray so you can tell it has been tampered with.

Wish I'd known you were driving through. I am in Medford Oregon.
Could have met up with you and showed you my 1992 CHP mustang and checked out your car.

Nice picture of your car at the base of Anderson Grade at the i-5 rest stop before Yreka there. Hope you had a great view of Mt. Shasta !!

Keep us posted on the progress !
Congrats !
John

Welcome and congrats on the purchase. If you're looking to put a few more miles on your new aquisition then come on up to the Ripon show this weekend:

This is your opportunity to check out numerous SSPs, see them in action, meet and network with the owners, possibly find some parts or info and generally have a great time. You can enter your car in the daily driver class if you decide to bring it.
