89 CHP SSP ~ Part out or sell complete?

[House]

lol
Maybe I should put this thing in the classifieds!

PM Sent.

One thing I thought was funny is the Bucktag doesn't say CHP or
California Highway Patrol, it says "CHIPS". Is that odd or normal?

Normal. The tag on my '88 is noted that way too. FYI-your car went into service on 2/14/90 at the Coalinga office.

Please send me the price PM too.

Sweet!
How did you find that out?
Is there somewhere I can go to get more info?
Thanks

Our very own Jim Y. (Nodrama) got a bunch of paperwork CHP was tossing out a few years back.

Neat~!
Hmm, I know where Coalinga is, where is considered the Coastal Region?
I wonder which one is correct?

That's where I think my info came from but through what was put up on the VIN registry at the other site early on when office assignment was still shown. From that source E435238 (last 5 VIN# = 211303) clearly shows Coalinga. There appear to be some obvious input mistakes on that list however so it would be nice to see it put up online again in a cleaner form for the record.

Wow a new paint job, clean the engine bay, and fix the fuel problem and dam you got a clean SSP, cleaner than mine. Even the ash tray works I bet the heater core is still good. You can get a pretty penny for that and with the money you can get a built 347 and really make that bronco run. Look on CL to get an idea on what a CHP goes for if there's none in your area for reference then look in SF Bay Area CL. I hope you keep it and bring it back and become a regular on the site. Good luck on you decision.

Probably just an error typing, like you mentioned.

Predator and I talked about putting something together to show representative VIN ranges, backed up with pics of the door decals that show the VIN and DSO for a given order.

I think that the problem with that "VIN registry", other than the minor mistakes and not being updated regularly, is that it's extrememly difficult to compile and manage a large number of VINs, much less 15K +/- of them. Also, the theory about the VIN numbers being consecutive isn't always true, and I see lots of "your car is outside the range" comments which may be wrong. As an example, in the '89 paperwork I looked at last night, E433142, an '89 assigned to Central Division, has VIN 201827. That is definitely outside the "range". FHP orders for '93 were like that, with several different batches, and who knows how many other orders were also.

The information I have is original (not copies) of CHP docs straight out of the motor transport facility in Sacramento. I also have the original invoices for every 1987 CHP mustang delivered by Dupratt Ford, signed off on by Jay Emery of CHP. If anyone has an 87 CHP car and wants copies of their paperwork I will send it to you to help document your car. The cars were delivered in batches of 3 to 5 per day and are invoiced as such so I don't want to break up the document as a whole. I will provide copies though (no charge) for anyone who owns a particular car. Eventually I will try to make all this info available on line, but for now it is safe in storage. It is available for anyone's use.
