Is the gray Mustang the same shade as your repaint? The above car has tinted windows, and no whip antenna on the 1/4 panel.
No way! No, I did not see this picture before. Yes, that is the same color gray that is still on the underside of the hood and trunk lid! Wow! That could be it! When I got it, it had tint on ALL the glass, the windshield as well.

93Chipper,

Mine '93 has three coats of paint. The original B&W, the gray and currently Reef Blue. The gray is still on the underside of the hood & trunk.

How did I miss that post!

Certainly could be it. CHP wouldn't park sale cars in the main lot after they were painted. Probably was used as an undercover, or travel car. Maybe was turned into a commander car?

Does your car have the tell tale CHP mounting holes in various locations?

Interesting how many cars at MT have inservice pictures to attach to them. I'd love to track down a couple of those cars...

That plate range is a total of 175. The VIN Project page has the first 170 plates (E422886 through E423055) accounted for. I wonder which VINs those last five plates (E423056 through E423060) were associated with? I just check the smog check plate lookup and there were no records for those last five plates.

Got that info off of legit CHP documents. Stated 175 Mustangs.

Sam, I wasn't saying that info was not legit. What I was saying was on the 1987 VIN Project page there is a large batch of 172 VINs (184710-184881) and the first 170 of those plates are in that batch (all but the first two VINs). I was wondering which VINs the last five of those plate numbers were associated with.

In the middle of typing this reply I went back to the 1987 VIN Project page and found those last five plates in a batch of five VINs (219944-219948). So to you for helping me to discover that.

Mick
