It looks like it has broken off. Mine broke in half in route to the
40th show in Nashville.

Yes after looking again at the pictures it does look as though it is gone as the coner of it appears to still be there stapled underneith the other one.

Luckily I remembered exactly why I bought the car 16 years ago before it did get sold.

Glad to see someone else feels my pain. The day I brought home my 2004 cobra she said "did we really need this?" well, I really won her over on this FHP car let me tell ya... But it will be all worth it in the end I keep telling myself.

I know about carfax'ng the car to determine where it was stationed but can anyone tell me how to find the unit number? I looked on the radiator support, door jamb etc but no luck. it is mia from either the poor black paint job or a rag with lacquer. The captain over FHP vehicle dept wrote me today and said they did not have records that far back any more. My only hope is that the roof number will show on the original tan paint.

any suggestions in what steps I should take to remove the paint so not to detroy the possibility of gettting the roof numbers?

If you give me the full vin (door tag too hard to read), I can run an autocheck report for you. It's the same as carfax.

I've also had good luck with doing a title search. http://www.hsmv.state.fl.us/data/past.html I was able to find out who bought my '86 FHP at the auction.

Default FHP mustang

I carfax'd the stang and it was inspected in Fort Lauderdale, Fla the whole time it was in service. It was sold to someone in Bradenton first. I'm surprised it did not end up a race car. Went to Lorena TX after that then Waco, Venus, Halthom City, Southlake and was brought here to Houston and sold to the guy I bought it from in Spring.

If it was stationed in Fort Lauderale, would anyone know what Troop it was with? Troop K or L maybe?

If you call up Troop L you can talk to Cpt. Roberts or if you call Troop K talk to LT. Reyes. They like the old Mustangs and will be willing to help you out with what it is you might need.

Default Jetsonic control switch

I found a guy here in houston with about 3000 lightbars. My eyes were popping out of my head He is setting me up with all the right FHP equipment. Jetsonic lightbar,jetsonic control switch (he has plenty of them if anyone needs one), kustom or mph radar, whelen lights, etc.... His name is Mark at lightbars@aol.com . This ssp restoration is very cool.

I found the only body panel not original to the car is the hood. So I am going to see if I can straighten the rear left quarter but the left fender (huge dents) and the front bumper cover (severly cracked) have to go...

Good deal. I've called him before, after Roman recommended him, but I've never had the chance to meet him or see any of the emergency equipment he has for sale.

Get the buck tag thing figured out?
