Jim and I bought our '82's from the same seller out of CA. Tony is a member here and was a great guy to deal with. I do not think he was the one who was selling it in the pics you posted. Both Jim's and my former car were super original examples. Mine didn't come with the fancy for sale sign though!
Please post some pictures of your and your dad's '82 when you have time.

wow....amazing pictures. I can't believe you have pictures of my car sitting on the side of the road for sale in California 10 years ago. It still has the same license plate on it and the last year it was registered was 2001.

Maybe it was a SMPV and the tail hook was used for something in that capacity??? I do have the assignment card though and it doesn't say anything about SMPV duty.

Here it is today...

Now THAT is cool. I first saw the tailhook and thought, "Hey, Jim's car has one of those. Wait, that IS Jim's car!" heh heh heh

Mine was the standard b/w and the assignment card shows it was sold that way. However, it spent the majority of its life in yellow, what looks like the same yellow they painted them in upon decommission. Any chance that just didn't get recorded on the assignment card at auction?

nut and bolt rotisserie restoration back to in service condition, probably minus the tailhook unless I can document what it is there for.

I already have every piece of CHP specific equipment for the car.

I think the black lower bumpers are just an artifact of the CHP post service paint jobs.






Is the "tailhook" removable?

Just a follow up on my car's previous life in yellow paint. Ron replied to my email saying it matched the one above, but without the Mustang graphics. He didn't mention black bumpers. Curious that my assignment card showed it sold as a black and white.

Would the Ford dealership have painted it before release per the sale and it just didn't get noted on the assignment card?
