Is there a way that it would be easier to read if they made a photocopy darker and then faxed that? Maybe they would be receptive to that request?

Im sorry. I ended up working a little late and then I just was a little lazy after work. I can fax them if you have a fax machine today with no problem, im on 8am-4pm shift and faxing is no problem..Ill check my PM's today while at work for your fax number. You will see that some are rally dark and the bottoms of some of the cards were cut off when he copied them.Later on tonight ill scan them as well and email them to you. Sorry I dropped the ball, but I kinda laid around after work today..:(

Im not sure. I would be more than willing to give you his info and contact numbers if you would like to call him. If he does do this, maybe one of us could just get all the requested cards sent to one members address and that member can send them out to each car owner. Im just a little concerned he may get annoyed at all the calls and pestering im doing. Tell me what you think we should do, and if I can be of any help im here..

fax him my plate numbers and see if he can come up with anything. I think that would be better than having somebody different contacting him. you can fax the results (if any) to me or have him fax them to me at 513 724-3148. Did anyone figure out what the plate number on my 92 would have been??

I got your fax...and I'll pass along Matt's info to him. My car wasn't in the fax (the last page didn't come through).

I think we could probably get him to send all of them to one person, and then distribute them out from there.

No...but there's a location code on the lower right hand corner that probably means something good. :)

Yours is cut off on the bottom on the fax I have...can't see what color they painted it, or the location code. 85,608 miles at the time of the sale, though.

Rob (ANDY):

I got your PM and will fax you what I have on your car.


Everyone:

I kicked it around with Mike (ImEvil1) and we came to the agreement that I will call and ask for the original assignment cards since I have allready talked to the guy . I would get them sent to one member and that member would mail them out to the car owners. We also agreed that we should compensate the guy for his time by maybe kicking in ( all of the persons getting their cards) and buy a gift card to the restaraunt of his choice. He seems like a good guy and helped me out without question so far but I dont think he unsderstands or really cares that we are restoring these cars. Nothing against him, like I said he has been great so far. Im sure he deals with a ton of CHP cars and to him the Mustangs are just another CHP car among many he has to deal with.
Does everyone agree to this? If so I will email him a request for our assignment cards. I think I should wait a couple of days to give everyone a chance to post up if they want to be a part of this. I probably acted to fast last time and I left a few key people out at first including Jim Young and the site owner Mike, which was not considerate on my end. I dont want this to happen this time around.

OK......Here is what i know so far. Based on this CHP pdf file I found on the internet
http://www.chp.ca.gov/pdf/annex-c.pdf
the loc.code for my car was 146 which is Mt. Shasta so the car was used in that area.
Matt I can not see your Loc.code? but looking at the OTHER CARDS that i can see they
all appear to be Three digits and that corresponds to the CHP map.... also in the
EQUIPMENT Field...... the drawn box with the dot in the center says it's a slick top!
I think?
and I think if it has and X in that field it had a Scanner? I can not read the fields between
equipment and location code? If the originals show up it may be more clear?

As some of you know, I recently received a PHOTO COPY of my car's CHP Assignment Card. I spoke with my contact at CHP Motor Transport today, and he is willing to dive into the cards to look for a specific Assignment Card belonging to a CHP Mustang. I had recently asked him to look for 4 cards belonging to other members, but sadly he was not able to locate those specific cards. So there is no guarantee that the card can be found after all this time. But he said in some cases he may be able to provide the original card to the owner!

So I will throw the offer out there - If you are interested in tracking down a photo copy of your CHP Assignment Card, shoot me a PM or post here, and I will pass it along to see if it can be found. You will need to include the entire number for your vehicle. In my case, my car was E408395. All six digits are required in order to track down a card.

It's hard to say how long he will be willing and able to do this for the SSP Community. But we'll try for as long as possible.

08-30-2009, 01:57 PM
Just over 2 months ago, I sent a list of CHP unit numbers to my contact at the CHP, in the hope that he could find and copy the original Assignment Cards. Copies of the following cards were requested:

E834428 1974 Dodge ("historynw" on the CHP forum)
E870366 1982 Mustang (litsnsirn" on ORG)
E408445 1985 Mustang (a known SMPV, but car is MIA)
E413732 1986 Mustang ("1986CHPSSP" on ORG)
E432496 1988 Dodge Diplomat ("chpns1" on NET)
E888849 1991 CVPI ("Tallen" on ORG)
E881555 1993 Mustang ("SRT SSP" om ORG)


After returning from our vacation this past week, I rec'd in the mail THE ORIGINAL Assignment Cards for 4 CHP vehicles (one for mine and 3 from the above list). I scanned in the cards front and back, and will post them up for all to see.

First, here's the CHP Assignment Card for my car #8395 -
http://www.mustangcollective.com/imagehosting/2774a9d3e779bb24.jpg

http://www.mustangcollective.com/imagehosting/2774a9aa52b7c2ce.jpg

I edited out my VIN, but it is there on the card and matches the number on my car. You'll note that the unit number is listed that my car replaced, as well as the unit that replaced my car is also listed. Also, I was told that the equipment notation of a "dot inside the square indicates" a slicktop. My car had been wrecked, and it looks like the repair was made at the same time as it being repainted the Metallic Silver (see the deductible notation).

08-30-2009, 02:08 PM
The second car is owned by 1986CHPSSP on ORG -

08-30-2009, 02:13 PM
The third of four cards I rec'd was not for a Mustang, but was instead a 1988 Dodge Diplomat owned by chpns1 -

The final card in this installment is the one for SMPV #8445, which was an original B&W 1985 Mustang that the CHP repainted for the first SMPV's (Specially Marked Patrol Vehicles). Here's an in-service picture -

http://images27.fotki.com/v984/photos/4/438439/1947960/85SMPV-vi.jpg

Since I knew the entire number for this vehicle, I decided to see if the card could be found. Sure enough, the card has outlasted the vehicle (at least for now). CHP #8445 lived a VERY interesting life while in-service. Take a look -

I share your curiosity about that time frame. All that I've seen were Diplomats, never seen any photos of a Mustang with the markings associated with that federally funded 55 MPH program applied (aside from the '92 EVOC car with the rear seat delete panel marked with it), anybody here have any or seen them? Hard to say if that '86 was specially marked or not without more documentation, but anything is possible.

Got the card in the mail today! Yes, the Dodge was wrecked and not fixed. Replaced some bent control arms, and it served me well as a daily driver for about 3 years.

Anyone know what the square with the A inside and the D to the right on the bottom of the card mean? It had a light bar, and I'm assuming the Motorola/CC1 equipment. No indication that it was converted to the Rangr setup, unless it was put into service late enough to have it originally. By 91, they all should have been converted.

I rec'd two more CHP Assignment Cards today. If you have asked me to have a search made for your card, and it's not listed below, then it was not found. (sorry guys!)

The first one is for E408419, which is the recently-surfaced 85 that is owned by RocketScience -

The original cards will be mailed to the owners once I get their address. It is interesting to note that having the cards creates as many questions as answers. Why are the cards either orange, white, or yellow? Does the color indicate something? What is the R.F. Color? What does "100B" mean in the upper right corner?

I would like to add that I spoke to my source about on-going requests for cards. He asked that I continue to be his single point of contact on requests for cards. The only exception would be if you are interested in buying CHP parts from him, in which case he will be happy to look for your card while gathering the parts you need (PM me for his #). So if you need your CHP Assignment Card, I am happy to serve as a middle-man (with no service charge of course!).

Cool stuff, Bill, and I'm glad you were able to get those. Can you ask him for some of the antenna-coupler boxes the next time you talk to him? I haven't talked to him in a few years.

Jim, he never was able to find my card, and I didn't want to bother him about the incorrect shotgun rack he sent me since he was having health problems. Guess he is still doing ok. Whoever "Sparks" was talking to sent him a photocopy of my card, so somebody had their hands on it at some point.

I spent a ton of money with him also and I know of four different people I sent to him that bought stuff too. I tried getting in touch with him about 6 months ago leaving messages for him at work and home. Maybe he was involved in health issues or did not get the messages, not sure. The shotgun rack I got from him was/is for a crown vic but I am planning on refabbing my own and using the parts off of it. Years ago he was very helpful, providing me with all the original paperwork from the mustang program. Last I heard he is a member over on .org so maybe he can be contacted there?

I have never been able to find my assignment card. Some day when I am in Sacramento I will stop in myself and see if I can get someone to look for it.

Mike,

I will be in contact with him soon, and will certainly ask about the antenna coupler boxes. I'm not sure who SparkSVT had gotten copies of those cards from, but Chris told me it wasn't Mr. Read. Andy's card was among those found at that time, but apparently it was not put back in the right spot because Mr. Read could not find it again.

I terms of going to Sacramento, I would love to get a chance to cull through the files myself and look for cards identified as being for Mustangs. I don't know if the CHP would allow a civilian to go through their records and keep those cards or not

What is the R.F. Color?

Hey, looking at scanner sites around California it looks like the R.F.color box on the assignment card may refer to frequency alpha tags. Mine was showing copper and the frequency alpha tag showing on a scanner sites for the chp shows copper as an alpha tag for San Bernardino(860). According to this site the alpha tag might indicate what is displayed on a users radio or a channel designation by the agency.

Here is my Assignment Card -

My car served at Quincy Station, which according to Jack's link would have an AMBER identification from Susanville Dispatch Center. But the RED on my card is for Redding Dispatch Center. Both centers are in the Northern Division.

Perhaps there was a reason for my car to have a neighboring frequency? Perhaps the data listed in Jack's link only reflects current information? Error on card?

If I had to guess, it would be that the Susanville Dispatch Center was not operational when your car was in service and the Quincy office was dispatched from Redding. That part of the state is very sparcely populated and without a doubt was even more so a quarter of a century ago.

This is somewhat of a repost. Back in August, I was able to provide the seller of the 85 CHP in New Orleans (http://www.specialservicemustang.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3567) with the Assignment Card for #E408306 -

http://images59.fotki.com/v683/photos/1/1804951/9947486/8306A-vi.jpg

http://images18.fotki.com/v341/photos/1/1804951/9947486/8306B-vi.jpg


Using this CHP Office Finder (http://www.chp.ca.gov/recruiting/docs/873_81007_Geo.pdf), the car was initially assigned to CHP Office #126 in Garberville, CA, but was immediately exchanged to CHP Office #150 in Ukiah, CA (Northwest of Sacramento). It replaced a 1982 (#E870580), and was replaced with a 1987 (#E422957). The scan doesn't show it well, but you can see on the card where the writer started to describe #8306 as a Dodge Diplomat. Since this car has one of the lowest known Unit Numbers for 1985, I could see where he/she would have written that out of habit (much like dating a personal check in January with the prior year). To my knowledge, this car is still for sale.

I am expecting another Assignment Card to arrive shortly from Mr. Read, which I will certainly post up here. As a teaser, this card should be interesting to see what it says!

Well, a box was delivered yesterday with some CHP parts from Robert Read (all are spoken for already, sorry!). The box also contained an Assignment Card. I was hoping that there would be more than one card, as I had requested three more cards in addition to the one I received. It is entirely possible that the box was shipped prior to the search being made for the three add'l cards, so I have a call into Mr. Read to see if he found those cards or not. Keep your fingers crossed!

So let's get to the good news. Here is an in-service picture of a known 1985 SMPV (Specially Marked Patrol Vehicle).

http://mustangforums.com/forum/members/28hopup-albums-misc-stuff-picture35859-e408383-an-85-smpv-1-of-maybe-25.jpg


Since the license plate was clearly visible, I put in a request for this car's Assignment Card -

http://images15.fotki.com/v2/photos/1/1804951/9996267/E408383a-vi.jpg

http://images51.fotki.com/v282/photos/1/1804951/9996267/E408383b-vi.jpg

There are some interesting things about this particular card:

The card clearly states that the vehicle was repainted/converted "sp. veh. truck speed enf.", and the car color was changed from "B&W" to white. This card clearly identifies this car as a SMPV.
The car had a MX7000 scanner installed as part of its equipment, which is the first time I've seen this specficially listed.
Location Code 560 is not shown in the current list of CHP Offices (http://www.chp.ca.gov/recruiting/docs/873_81007_Geo.pdf). So can we ever tell where this car served?
Using the chart of current CHP radio frequencies (http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=995), the are two TAN R.F. Colors: 1) TAN1, used in Oceanside and Temecula; and 2) TAN2, used in Newhall and Antelope Valley. Again, these are the current colors, and changes may have happened since this car was in-service.
In the lower right corner, there is a statement saying "will paint E413744", but that unit is not listed as having been the one to replace E408383. So why is it shown on this card?
The car was auctioned off 11 months after it was converted into a SMPV.



So again we have just as many unanswered questions compared to what we have learned. As an aside, I ran the VIN through the CA Smog Records, but no listing was found. I also ran a Carfax, but the car dropped off the page in 1997. This one is probably gone forever, but you never know.

It's rare to find that much documentation on any car much less an SMPV.

I don't think there has ever been a confirmed four eyed SMPV.
To me they are like ghosts of a b&w that have only been seen by a select few but remain a sort of myth if you will.

So would 8383 be one of the rarest 85s?

Sam, rarity is a relative term, and being rare does not always equate to being desirable. There's an extremely rare New Edge Mustang around here with a seldom-seen green body and a tan top. The car is rare, but the combination is butt-ugly and not many folks would ever want to own it.

In terms of 1985 SSP's, of the 155 CHP Mustangs that year, it is estimated that only 20-25 of the in-service B&W Mustangs were repainted/converted into Specially Marked Patrol Vehicles (SMPV's). This car (#E408383) is the first confirmed 1985 SMPV to surface, and the only way we know that is because the Assignment Card was found by looking for a known unit number based upon an in-service picture that turned up at the end of 2010. Finding the CHP documentation is critical for verifying a CHP Mustang as a SMPV. And Texunter is correct, other than Ken's 1989 Blue & White SMPV, no others have turned up yet. So yes Sam, this car is rare.

But there are other rare 85's out there. Rich (CHP8336) has 1 of the 3 1985 Nevada SSP's, of which one was totaled right after the NHP upfitted the car for service. So Rich's NHP is a very rare 85 SSP, but there are certainly other rare SSP's as well. If you look at other years of SSP's, there are some extremely rare cars out there.

In terms of #E408383, if I don't get in touch with the seller from 2010, I will just keep an eye out for it to surface again. Rich combs through the California listings on CL and ebay, and he promised to keep an eye out for this car. Hopefully, we can bring it back into the SSP family.

That's an educated guess at this point, which was done by looking for other 1990 CHP cars. mac88chp (http://www.specialservicemustang.net/forums/member.php?u=59) (Michael) chimed in on your car to help me determine the first two numbers. But I'm not 100% certain at this point. There were years where more than one prefix was used by the CHP, where the number of plates given to the CHP to issue was determined by California DMV. For example, we know that some earlier 1982's were 85xxxx, but the run of 1982 SSP's had 87xxxx numbers.

Glad Thanks, Bobby

I would like to make another pass at getting assignment cards for members. If you have not received a definitive "card not found" response from me before, can you give me your car's number? Once I have a list together, I will try again and see what can still be found.

Thanks!

Hey Bill :D
I know 8337's card was confirmed, but I don't think these were
408362
435281
870300

I might try and look closely at the plate on the Last CHP Mustang photo, my dad took a pic of it. Would be interesting if we were able to track it down :D This forum has gotten good at that.

Hello Bill could you add Unit #0204 and #0448. 0204 is under construction and 0448 I brought back to California from Sierra Vista Arizona last February. Thanks I would really appreciate it.

I thought I saw this in one of your albums! Now I don't have to search:D

Lets track that baby down!!! I think it would be monumental if we found it. My dad has the last CHP Caprice, and John replicated the "Last Chevy Caprice" sign for it. He could certainly replicate the Mustang sign, might just get him to do it anyway:)

It was/is owned by a young man who knows exactly what he has and wasn't interested in the least in selling it. Would be nice if it does resurface someday.

Thanks for raining on my parade dangit!

If I had the cash, I'd dish out 20k for it if it still was in decent condtion. Wouldn't think twice.

Also you you can add my dads 90 to the list, Bill. I forgot the unit #, but you should have it I think.

I am curious about something?
A long time ago SparkSVT Chris was able to talk to someone at motor transport
and that person sent Chris FAX copies of the assignment cards. as seen here
back on page 4. and My car is in the mix.
I have been told that My card was mis filed? after the Fax was sent
and it can't be found...........that's all i know?
So what i want to know is this.
were any of the cards that Chris was sent copies of actually Re-Found and
sent to the car's owners.

Does anyone else need their car added to the list?

Hi Bill,

I think you have one of these unit numbers, I just need the vin #'s on these cars so that I can do a search to see if they are in existance.
I drove both of these units when I worked the Stockton area.
e389522, e435235

9522 was my favorite. I have photos of each unit. Would love to find 9522 and return it back to a patrol car again.

IF the cards are available, I would like to have them.
Thanks

Do i ask about my Assignment Card too often?
could it be that i have seen a FAX.... but not held the card in my hand
could it be that i am the real deal car guy that will have this
car forever and always know that a special part of it's history
exist and is not with this car and in it's file (at this time)
Sometimes much is said by what is not said.
sometimes people monitoring this thread could add something?
I have no way to make that happen so all i can do is hope.
I apologize for taking this much time here
and i can assure you it will never happen again.

Some of the cars shown above were requested previously, but it is worth asking again (especially for those which may have been misfiled after the FAX copies were provided). Also, Robert told me previously that none of the 38xxxx cards were in the boxes, but it doesn't hurt to ask. :) If you don't see your car on the list, please get back to me ASAP! I plan to make contact with Robert by the end of this week, if possible.

Hello Gents!

I spoke with Robert this morning, and he is still willing to search for the cards. However, he was taken slightly aback when I told him how many were on my list. We both agreed that it would be better for me to email him my list, which I did this morning. I broke the list down into three groups:

Group #1 - new requests
Group #2 - two specific cars that have the FAX-only copies from 2007, with a special notation asking him to search through the box(es) since the cards were most likely misfiled.
Group #3 - I listed this one as optional for Robert, because it's a biggie. I asked for all of the Mustang cards in the range of 408303 - 408445. These are the 1985 SSP Mustangs (+/-), which I would like to document in our VIN Project. Since I do not own those vehicles obviously, I offered to return those cards once they are scanned.



So be patient, keep your fingers crossed, and stay positive. :)

Mustang Kid
08-03-2012, 12:10 PM
Maybe it's a good thing I didn't add another 20+ cars to the list :)

Bill, if you get the cards for all the 85s, I would suggest trying to hold onto them. That way they won't get thrown out and new owners are out of luck on getting an actual card.
They will be thrown out just like the 70s stuff and quite a bit of the 80s stuff.
