You're welcome guys
Found some photos of my dads 92 and a basic story of the car.
92 CHP #9042 (wrecked fourth of july 93 or 94, officer was helping a stranded family (car broke down) on the shoulder of a highway, the officer loaded the mustang up with the mom in the pass seat and the 3 children in the back while the dad stayed with their car, another driver fell asleep at the wheel (his parents were asleep too) and drifted onto the shoulder and rear ended the mustang at 70mph as the officer was slowly rolling along waiting to merge, everyone in the mustang was injured and one of the kids was killed along with one of the sleeping drivers parents).
My dad still has this car, just like it sits basically (minus most equipment, trunk decals and pass. door decals). We also have the drivers door skin with decals still applied and the front license plate The plate(when I saw the back of the bracket in the car I was like "there no plate on there", turned it over and was wrong lol)


And I found a pic (possibly mac88chp's car) of an 88, sorry it is sideways, tried flipping in PB but it messed the photo up. Later I'll upload it again.

Few more.






This photo was given to my dad (so he doesnt own this photo)

Sam, that's my car for sure. Telltale water-logged left headlight and distinctive gash on bumper cover under the right headlight confirm it.





I received this similar one from either Bill Miller or Charles Ricks, can't remember who but if it's from the later then your dad may have taken it also:



Thanks for posting up that new one!

Bam! I took in-service shots of #1562 in 1996, it's a Santa Cruz Area unit.

You're welcome
If it came from Charles Ricks then my dad most likely took the photo. My dad shared quite a few of the photos he took of the mustangs with him. He was supposed to copy them and send them back, but Charles sold them to Darryl Lindsay who has been selling them along with telling buyers not to copy the photos, my dad has all the negatives though so he could if he wanted to, he could sell them.
My dad may have a couple more photos of your car stashed away somewhere.

That's sad.

Thanks again for sharing these here. Like your Dad, and others, I've been fortunate to take, find, collect, etc photos of these cars and they are posted here, for all to enjoy.

Keep 'em coming.

Thanks much, if you find any more of my car I'd be very appreciative.

I did get a chance to look at a large photo album Charles Ricks had at one time and I recall it held a pretty wide variety of photos from all states, provinces, agencies, etc. I understood Ricks had collected them from many sources and was planning to write a book about SSPs, which obviously never came about. As he was leaving the hobby he told me he had sold the photo album to Darryl. If he had a large cache of CHP photos, I never personally viewed them so that's news to me and pretty disappointing to hear about what you say.
