In other news, got an original 85-6 CHP Mustang rack for 8337! And have a perfect set of bright trim from the 85 parts car my dad bought. Might use the perfect trunk lid from the car too

The gun rack does not fit, looks like it was from a 91 Crown vic. Oh well.
Bought the 85 5.0 coupe parts car that NHP Mustang had listed. Bright trim is perfect, side moldings are perfect, windows are perfect, rear bumper, dash face trim, springs, seat frames, weather stripping, trunk lid, etc, all needed things for my car I have found more evidence of how my car was equipped too!!!! Looking at my dash pad, I can see slight indentations and rub marks from brackets being mounted to the dash pad mounting points. I believe 82, 84, and 85 (possibly 86 too) were all equipped similarly. I have some pictures of pictures of an 82's inside and trunk, and the 85 Beale test car posters my dad got are big enough to distinguish some details. Looks like on my car there was a support bracket for the gun rack on the passenger side that attached to the dash pad screw point closest to the center above the passenger side dash face. The mic bracket attached to another bracket that came off of the nearest screw point to the center on the drivers side. Off of the beale poster, I can see that the note pad is not attached to the gun rack like the aero mustang racks, it is more above the vent next to the HVAC controls. On my dash pad, I can see that another bracket was mounted to the screw hole second closest to the center of the dash. From what I think, the note pad was attached to a cross bar that mounted to the one screw hole bracket and the bracket for the mic bar. I've given up trying to find an original rack, so I'll just have to modify one my dad has. In my trunk (I've talked about this before but I don't remember where), there are two "mystery" holes to the right of the center radio board support. Looking at the 82 trunk photo I can see what the two holes were for. My car had the older Micor radio tray setup(I can see the same holes in Rich's car from his fotki pics). The other day I just happened to come across the radio junction box that allows for the repeater in some of my dads stuff! Already have an older MVR-16 repeater, just need the massive radio tray. Does anyone know where the wig wag module was located? Would it have been the street sweeper? I only found one non-factory screw hole on the drivers side inner fender, back close to the firewall (also near wiring that was spliced together. Time for some pics now  I plan on having the pulleys redone, media blast the aluminum parts, still pull the motor, strip it down to the block(replace all the seals, make sure everything else is ok), repaint the entire engine bay, etc   Still need to buy NOS seat material   Got a good hood for it   Second place wiring was tapped into, down by the frame rail  Single screw hole  Passenger side  Drivers side    Gun rack screw holes  And an old pic

You can see the outline of the clip on the note pad plate isn't close to the map light
 I'm gonna have to save up for Gatorbacks now, since I have this pic of them on this car lol  Little harder to see in this pic, but you can kinda see the dark outline of the notepad holder if you look to the left of where the steering wheel would be  82 trunk. Lower board is plywood attached to the car by a 90degree bracket Pretty sure the lower board has the siren amp, antenna switch box, and the box for the radio repeater split. The repeater split box might not have been on the board either    The two brackets on the 82  85 might have had the lighter port, I don't know for sure. Can also see that the CC1 used a factory fed sig bracket, attached by two bolts underneath  Hope that helps the 82 owners a bit too

Sam, not sure how long the Streetsweepers were used but eventually they were joined by the Sound Off Signal RoadRunner, both were mounted to the coil cover.
RoadRunner on an '88:  Looks like a Street Sweeper on a '90:  I don't believe the Street Sweepers are still being made but the RoadRunner is still in the catalog. RoadRunner with current markings:  RoadRunner with vintage markings:  The siren amp was mounted below the main radio board. I didn't have any extra holes in my trunk floor in that area to indicate another mounting board may have been used so we just mounted it upside down onto the bottom of the main board.

Great pics, thanks for posting them.
As for the flasher, did you get any info/pics showing that the Unitrol wasn't still being used?

I don't believe it had a roadrunner, since there would be two holes. All I could find was one screw hole. From pictures it looks like the street sweeper only had one screw point.
I know in 87 chp was using the road runner, since my dads 87 caprice still has it. 89 caprice and 91 crown Vic have them too. I don't have any info currently on what chp had in 85, but I may come across some. The older wig wag flasher IIRC would have two holes too.
