Information needed for '86 AZ SSP mustang

[Andy]

Prescott Arizona has it's own police department
it is in Yavapai county.
Yavapai County Sheriffs office (another police department) jurisdiction
in the un incorporated areas of the county.
and the DPS....the department of public safety (state police)
I have never heard of the Yavapai County Sheriffs office or
the city of Prescott having any SSP Mustangs so it would be
my guess that.
the car started it's life in (law enforcement) with the
Arizona department of public safety and was later donated to the
Prescott police department for their use as a D.A.R.E Car
let us know what you find out!

Andy, I think your guess is absolutey right. The more I thought about it today the more I thought that might be the case. The car looked to be ordered exactly as the AZ DPS cars were, and the buck tag says something to the effect of Special Service - Arizona. I need to contact the department and see if they have any information for me.

Anyone have any clues on the correct siren, control box, etc?

Thanks!

As a few members requested, here are some pictures of it. I can't stand the way that (incorrect) matching trim looks on these cars, so I'm painting it back charcoal like it should be until the whole car gets repainted white.

My plan is to restore it back to AZ DPS in-service specs, from what I read on the .org website this is around one of 20 cars used by AZ in '86. This particular car would have had a Jetsonic setup, the original radio for the car was included but I haven't picked it up yet. This is the most rust-free '86 SSP I've ever seen, not a spec of rust anywhere thanks to the AZ climate.






More on the way next...

What the car should have looked like. Going to call AZ DPS fleet on monday and see if they can give me any information on her.
