Have you mailed a polite letter to the Chief of Police. Maybe sent him/her a letter explaining a little about this niche of the Mustang hobby and your desire to validate if it served with them in order to learn about the Mustang's history.

I had success in this manner with the Missouri State Highway Patrol and they are very helpful in this respect. On the other hand the same approach did not yield results with the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. Fortunately in that case I was able to make friends with someone on the inside of the NCSHP via other contacts.

Good luck!

I wouldn't be so sure about that....I'd bet you'd get nowhere with my old city PD, because many of the people around back then that would remember our Mustangs are long gone. Heck...I've only been gone 5 years and I don't know half of the patrol officers anymore.

Oh yeah...those ridonkulous stickers on your car would never have been put on by any agency....most have policies in place with much lower top speed limits (read: liability).

That's pretty rough to ask you for the VIN number and say yes it's there followed by have a nice day. Would it help any to call back and ask for a Supervisor?
