Thanks Michael. I believe that was Jon's car. I just want to see all the '82s I can to see if they varied like you say. I actually prefer 03/28/83 and will go with that if I see an '82 different than 3 28 83. But I want it to be authentic so I will go with what evidence shows.

Red Dymo label tape number.
Removed the dash bezel this morning to get a better look at the faded and cracked Dymo tape that still exists on my dash bezel.These numbers are a little hard to read and were identified as 10 3 8 on my 1982 Mustang dash bezel.Unfortunately the last digit and the dymo tape is missing with this group of service date numbers. I would assume the mising number would be the number 3 to make it "10 3 83" for my Service date. Thank you for this information as I completly overlooked this Dymo tape on my dash.Now I just need to find out what my Unit number and E plate number .

OK, it looks like there's no character between the numbers and the leading zeros were dropped. Michael, I meant I wanted to see if they varied from '82 to '82 like you said they did over the entire run of CHP SSPs.
I'll use the one I made to read " 3 28 83 " Ironic how long these cars sat up. They were built in June 1982 and put in service from March to October 1983 between these three (mine, this one and Jon's). I hope your build sheet is there. I need to go to my car's thread and post up my Deluxe Marti Report that I recently purchased. Pretty darn cool. One other thing I noticed, passenger side siren mount. Someone else had an '82 with passenger side siren...oh, the one Mike in Nashville has. I think that's it. Correct me if I'm wrong. Is that gray primer all over the black? Sorry if I missed that in one of your posts.

No Build Sheet

I wondered about my passenger side siren mount.I was going to change the location to the driver side but now I believe I will keep the siren on the passenger side. Going to post a couple of pictures I took yesterday afternoon of the shotgun release buttons that are still intact in my car. |

1982 CHP Mustang Shotgun release buttons
Removed the front and rear seats on the mustang today with the intentions to find my build sheet and no luck. It appears my build sheet is long gone but the coins I did find under the seats should cover the electricity I used to run the shop vac to vacuum the car out.
I figured with the seats out it would be a great time to snap some pictures to share.I removed the driver side door sill trim and discovered a black push button switch.I believe this to be the shotgun release button? I do not have history behind the harness eye bolts mounted on the driver side floor pan. Perhaps these were installed by Paramount pictures for what ever reasons. |

I could be way off but I think prisoners cuffs were attached to those eye's during transport.

Yes the eye bolts were for prisoners(hold their feet down? Cuff the hand cuffs to floor?). Odd that there are 2 on one side, unless that is what 82s had The black button is for the gun lock(I do believe?). Another version is where smaller buttons are under the dash, one on each side(so that the driver or a riding officer could get the shotgun). 2 of my dads CHP crown vics had them-one had the black button, the other had the 2 smaller buttons under the dash.
I absolutely hate any tan/dark tan/brown (except for the lighter tans) interiors when they are dirty and disgusting(kinda like your carpet). When the interiors are nice and clean I don't have a problem lol. |
