Thanks guys! I doubt the excitement will ever go away! I will keep posting pics as I progress with the car. I got lucky there is no rust on the car. The undercarriage has some surface rust but incredibly solid. This will be fun!

Just came back from DMV. They told me they could not give me a print out of the cars history so I could find out the unit number. I cannot find it on the car yet. Any ideas how I can go about finding out the unit #? $769 in back fees but Im thinking its worth it

I'm not surprised to hear that the folks at DMV were unable to get you the information. I suggest that you read the following thread...
http://www.specialservicemustang.net...ead.php?t=2676 ...and follow the instructions to get the form to request the Registration History on your car's VIN. The people at the coutner probably do not know the procedure to get that information. Good luck, and let us know how you make out.

Update on my 1985 CHP Dream Car: After finding out I owed almost $1,000 in back fees for registration, the woman at the DMV was kind enough to knock off a few dollars so I got away with paying only $661. A small savings but every penny counts. I then had the original carb rebuilt, lines and gas tank checked for rust (none), fresh brakes all the way around, new belts, dyno tuned, new wires, plugs, cap/rotor, and now it runs like a new car!!! Smooth shifts, easy clutch, nice brakes, and smooth idling. Next step is freshening up the suspension. I may upgrade the rear end to an 8.8 still thinking about that. The original steelies are back from powdercoating but I will wait to put those on until after a fresh coat of paint/body work. For now, it is rolling on 93 pony wheels. After the suspension I will tackle the new exhaust front to back. Not sure if I want a true dual exhaust or stick with the single pipe cutting into two pipes out the rear. Anyone have ideas or thoughts on the dual exhaust and upgrading to an 8.8 rear? I am dying to get this car restored, but driving it daily now to work and collecting all the restoration parts such as for the interior is a great experience in the meantime!! I will post pics tomorrow...
