Good catch, but a slight revision to your revisions....it's the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP). Thanks!

The agency logo and uniform patch says "North Carolina Highway Patrol" (no "State") but a Trooper's badge and the official website says "North Carolina State Highway Patrol", so I could go either way on it.

I made this revision to the NC cars. I also added Unit Numbers to the 1987 CHPs (thanks to Mick!).

There is a batch of 3 vins in 1989 section that I doubt are SSP's. Remember that white one I posted in the for sale that was on cl, with a vin that was on the list? Didn't have SSP cluster and wasn't an SSP from what my dad and I could tell. Just heads up.

Sam, you mean this 89 car that you posted not too long ago, right? I agree with you that this car (VIN is 144992) is most likely not a SSP, which is why it is not featured in the VIN Project with a hyperlink to its own page. With so many V8 notchbacks in the consecutive unit number listings for each year, I tend to go on the basis that a VIN is not a SSP unless proved (through pictures, Marti, matching DSOs, etc) to be a SSP. We tried to word the header so folks see that the list of VINs includes civilian V8 coupes and SSPs, but some people miss that little tidbit. Regardless, I would rather not point out the civilian VINs unless they key in on a batch of SSPs (like the first two civilian VINs in the batch containing the 85 CHP and OSP Mustangs).

Thanks to Mick, aka FoxChassis, for his help AGAIN! We have now included the CHP Unit Numbers and Office Locations for the VIN listings on the 89 and 90 model years, as seen here:

http://www.specialservicemustang.net/VINlist/89VIN.html (starting with 211169)
http://www.specialservicemustang.net/VINlist/90VIN.html (starting with 170115)

I guess you could say they have a "split personality" . Check out the display sign they use when showing their still owned 1993 SSP Mustang.

In the article you can see the car is black, red interior, trunk pop is close to the lower left edge of the access panel, and the car has a red interior without the black on the dash.


It would be nice to find a way to contact them to learn more about it Sad it's being modified...

Pretty sure thats sleeper88's car on the Corral

If y'all go through the 1987 VIN page...

http://www.specialservicemustang.net/VINlist/87VIN.html


...and scroll down to 184744 you will find the first of six SSPs where we used CHP Assignment Cards for 1985 Mustangs to determine the VIN of the 1987 Mustangs that replaced them. Kinda cool...
