Photos taken at CHP Motor Transport in Sacramento,CA.

[FHP813]

Great pics! I like the masking job on the blue one.

[NoDrama43]

great photos... Not very often you see a lot full of ssp mustangs for sale.

thanks for posting them up !

[28HopUp]

Thanks for sharing those pictures. Those are literal snapshots showing a tiny window into the history of our cars. Pretty cool stuff!

[MOstang]

Pretty neat to see all those old photos. :cool:

[mac88chp]

Thanks for sharing those. The sight of those mask jobs makes me doubly happy mine was sold with no repaint and most of the original paint still intact!

I was lucky enough to have been able to check out the sales lot around 2001 when a few Mustangs that had been converted to u/c units were up for sale. The repaints on them were many times more superior to the ones found on the regular runouts. Wish I would have taken some photos (or better yet purchased one!).

[Mustang Kid]

Look at the liscense plate #s, you may find your 91-93 or someone elses car :)
I like this photo, one factory white CHP and a factory b/w with the doors painted black ready for sale.

I just noticed- there are three cars with close unit numbers: #881550, #881554, and #881556

[28HopUp]

I just noticed - I have drool all over my keyboard!

Thanks again for posting!

[stubes]

stuff like this is why i love my 93 chp!

[NoDrama43]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

incredible photos........simply outstanding !!

[ImEvil1]

Verry nice.:2thumbs:

[mac88chp]

Bingo! One of those photos caught my car from the opposite vantage point of the earliest photo I have of it dated July 1999. Units #3035 and #2948 were the last Mustangs assigned to Skid Pan and that’s the lot where they went after being runout (for a second time in their careers!) from academy duty and were awaiting disposition from Motor Trans.

#895392. The interior shots are blurry, but you can still see how stuff was mounted.

Note the spotlight wires wrapped around the shaft and the radio/scanner thing (my dad told me what it was, but I forgot) in the factory radio hole.

Rear decal placement and new style package tray lights, the decals seem to be slanted down in the middle of the trunk lid.

I found some pics of a couple wrecked stangs, so they will be on here as soon as I get them scanned into the computer.
:postpics:
It would be as I dont have stories of the cars, until a couple of the wrecks...

[ImEvil1]

Those interior shots are great! SMPV, too (anyone notice the shotgun rack?)

[Mustang Kid]

Is it moved forward at the base to put the rack at more of an angle to help hide the barrel of the gun?

[Rhino]

Looks like it's somewhat mounted the same but slightly lower. With the mounting holes we've seen on other SMPVs, I would have thought that they had a different rack all-together.

[Mustang Kid]

They could have been mounted flat on the floor (thats what they did on the 02 camaros), but my dad has never seen a CHP mustang rack floor mounted and I havent either.

[E435300_SMPV]

Here is a Photo of my 89 CHP SMPV floor. The mounting holes are definitely different from the standard B&W. After matching the holes up with some of my equipment I believe I have the holes labeled correctly.
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee266/goin5150/CHP%205300%20SMPV/DSC04297x.jpg

[mac88chp]

Great photos. Some interesting points:

This '93 is missing the "Safety and Service" scripts on the rear quarter panel.
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h340/Mustang_Kid84/Motor%20Transport%20Mustangs/mtm26.jpg

That's a Regency MX3000 scanner, same as what came on my car. Normally mounted on the right side of the trans hump, it may be located here to accomodate the modified gun rack which laid the weapon down along that area:
http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h340/Mustang_Kid84/Motor%20Transport%20Mustangs/mtm14.jpg

Notice how when they repainted this '92 (which was originally factory B&W) to the SMPV all-white scheme, they left the beltline moldings black instead of painting them body color as is the norm for the '92s and '93s. I have a photo of a '93 SMPV that has that treatment also:

Great info!:thumbsup: I learned new stuff today:D

[E435300_SMPV]

Hey Mike,
In that White SMPV, Interesting that they mount the scanner in the factory radio area and when did they use the Regency MX5000. I thought they used the MX3000 or the Turbo Scan in our SSP's.

[1jerryl]

Noticed that the SMPV only has one spotlight on it.......

Those interior shots are great! SMPV, too (anyone notice the shotgun rack?)

did anyone notice the RIFLE mount Next to the shotgun mount??? :)

[ImEvil1]

did anyone notice the RIFLE mount Next to the shotgun mount??? :)

Exactly! If you look closely, you can see the difference between the mounts. The pic above it shows a shotgun lock, but that one looks like a rifle lock to me.

Hey Mike,
In that White SMPV, Interesting that they mount the scanner in the factory radio area and when did they use the Regency MX5000. I thought they used the MX3000 or the Turbo Scan in our SSP's.Ken-to my knowledge they didn't use the MX5000, only the M100, MX3000 and TS-2 (Turbo Scan) with some Uniden MR8100 installs in the later cars, '92 and '93s. In the photos, unit #5392 has a Uniden mounted in the stock radio area.

[mac88chp]

Exactly! If you look closely, you can see the difference between the mounts. The pic above it shows a shotgun lock, but that one looks like a rifle lock to me.Looks like a dual gun mount in #5392. Probably held a Ruger Mini-14 with the unit being stationed in a rural area:

http://images39.fotki.com/v1229/photos/4/438439/6434758/CHP89-vi.jpg

That's the first shot I've seen of one in a Mustang.

Thanks again for the pics...awesome!

[Mustang Kid]

One of the CHP crown vics my dad got (still has all the decals on it:D ) still had the out of service signs in it. I was happy cause now my dad and I can use them when we get our police cars restored, maybe take the signs and have them copied too.

[93chipper]

looks like the one in the crown vic mine is in bad shape

[Mustang Kid]

Not mustangs, but this is what it would have looked like when with new mustangs. I have a couple pics of all the white camaros I found also, once I get them scanned I can post them up along with a few pics of all the crowns(just like this photo) if you guys want(not mustangs, but still as interesting as the mustangs, and its history too!)

[93chipper]

smog reports reported to the BAR you can find them by licence plate or vin number sometimes it works other times it doesnt with the chp cars start with E then prefix for year followed by unit # and theirs your licence plate mine was E895333 the closest one to me in the pics was E895400 it was smogged two months before mine was at the same smog station in 1997 it looks like chp did their own smog because E881556 and E895250 show up being smogged at the chp motor transport

You're welcome guys:thumbsup:
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:D 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)
http://www.specialservicemustang.net/VINlist/Kid/35.jpg

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.

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

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.

[MOstang]

Yeah that's great....get photos for free....sell them to somebody who sells to somebody...who's probably selling them to somebody who's probably selling them to somebody else. I guess that's the good and the bad of a free enterprise system.

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.

[Mustang Kid]

Found a couple interior shots (one of which shows a different dual gun rack)of mustangs at MT along with a couple other interesting photos. To be scanned and posted tomorrow.

Just curious - why did your dad purchase (or acquire) that vehicle and what is his intentions with it today?

~~~~



Also, the one photo in this thread of a decommissioned X-CHP, the one interior shot shows a center windshield mount light, located behind the rear view mirror. Was this a common piece of equipment, or only installed in certain Mustang SSP's?

My dad bought the wreck for parts, but little was usable. Since he hasn't had any time for his cars really, it has just sat. We are going to preserve the car like it is. After all, it is the sole surviving CHP mustang that was wrecked inservice:) .

The mirror lights were being put into cars in the early 90's. 91 may have been the first year of them in mustangs.

[mac88chp]

The mirror lights were being put into cars in the early 90's. 91 may have been the first year of them in mustangs.Correct for general use but their first appearance was on the second batch of SMPVs ('89 models):

These pics bring back memories... I remember working "security" at the state auction when I worked at the local SO in 1999 or 2000 just south of Starke, FL when they were auctioning off a bunch of state vehicles including FHP Mustangs. I wanted to buy one so bad but being a poor Deputy all I could do is watch the luck ones with money walk away with them. We had to watch these guys because they would "disable" the cars they wanted just so everyone would think they didn't run so they could get them for a good price. I just wish I had the money I do now back then....

[28HopUp]

No way! I can't believe anyone would be so dishonest to do something like that...

I had a person, (not a member here), that actually bragged to me about him and a friend disconnecting AC harnesses, or fuel pump harnesses (under the drivers seat) so they could buy the cars cheaper.

Zero integrity with these folks.

[ABN2060]

No way! I can't believe anyone would be so dishonest to do something like that...

:rolleyes:

Yea, it was pretty pathetic. Especially the taxi cab companies from up north. Those guys were a bunch of clowns....

[GSPI]

Those guys were a bunch of clowns....

Hey now... if you had to deal with yellow cars all day long, you'd feel and act like a clown too!:D

[03cobra]

Those are fantastic pictures. Thanks for sharing...Wow!! Makes me want a CHP unit now.

#2948 in the same lot:

So I was looking through my dads collection "destroyed" Cali E plates and I found the plate for #892948. lol

What does the additional exterior decal say that is on the Mustang rear 1/4 panel in the pic you posted above??

So I was looking through my dads collection "destroyed" Cali E plates and I found the plate for #892948. lolPretty cool, hold onto it. I suspect that unit is still around and was advertised several times on the Reno CL in the past year. I couldn't confirm it as the seller refused to return any my emails....:banginghead:

[SparkSVT]

Its the "safety and Service" decal, just in an unusual spot.

[mac88chp]

What does the additional exterior decal say that is on the Mustang rear 1/4 panel in the pic you posted above??It's the earlier "Safety and Service" motto, now "Safety, Service and Security." On Mustangs it first appeared on some of the '88s (then all the '89s up) and was only applied to that rather unbecoming location on that first year. Same on my car, compare it to the one also on the CV parked next to it:

More familiar motto location used for the '89-up cars:

My dad talked to the janitor at the acadamy who bought it from the CHP. He bought it for his kid who propmtly painted it bright blue and hot rodded it. Kinda sad:(
Kids nowadays(at my school) think that the foxes are the worst and slowest mustang model. But look at them on the EVOC track going 140 and making huge clouds of smoke, you couldn't go 140 in a stock 66 2+2 which kids think are fast. I'd choose a fox over a 60's mustang anyday(unless its a 69 SCJ 4spd Mach 1, rode in my dads friends and it was freakin fast!).

Check...the car for sale in Reno was painted blue. Mods looked
like they were limited to bolt-ons.

Nice pics :) ! Pardon my lack of knowledge on the CHPs for a moment. In the 2nd photo just added are those SSPs following repaints (to the various colors that are not b&w). I like that pic.

Correct, that is the sales lot at Motor T. in West Sacto.

Mike, my unit was 1555. I was the last unit taken out of service in the Glendale fleet. It is interesting the unit numbers are all around my unit.

Sam,

Thanks for sharing these.....great reference shots.

In picture #4 it looks like unit 9094 has 094 on its roof. This is the first time I have seen roof numbers on a CHP mustang.

Thanks for the great pics

CHP did have unmarked camaros for undercover work.
http://www.specialservicemustang.net/VINlist/Kid/72.jpg

A couple CHP camaros on the sales lot. CHP had the paint shop put Z28 trim on some of the cars.

Interesting that #895309 and #895310 were both "White Ghost" SMPV's.

[Rhino]

I wonder if the 2 Camaros were among the 21 B4C cars? Wild.

[Mustang Kid]

I wonder if the 2 Camaros were among the 21 B4C cars? Wild.

They used to be black and whites. CHP had them painted like the mustangs and they tried to get more money out of the cars by putting Z28 kits on some.

I hadn't notice that the ghosts were consecutive unit #s. Thanks for noticing Bill:thumbsup:

Is there a way I could get the vin #s for all the mustangs with visible plates?

[Andy]

Always great stuff!
thank you for posting!

[xfhp-730]

Notice on the second pic of the SSP that you posted today, the car has something on the center caps? This looks like the same car while inservice. Ask your dad if he knows what the purpose was of putting that on the rear center caps. I have been wondering about that for a long time.

Snow chain attachments for those quick release/install types I believe.

[93chipper]

snow chains also notice the studded tires on the picture

Not sure if they are studded or not, but those are the super rare Eagle M & S pursuit snow tires. I had a some on several old cop cars I owned back in the eighties....

You posted a pic of unit #1629. Mine is unit#1628. Also have a buddy's '90 CHP which I'm doing a partial resto on. Unit # is unknown due to the body shop removing it when it was recently painted.

[Va 5.0]

Sam is this your dad's car?

Yes that is my dads 92. I found that issue in his collection a while back and had posted a thread showing the cover.

This Mustang's plate appears to be E895229. Can anyone with better eyes than mine confirm this number? If so, then I know the VIN for this car (thanks to FoxChassis!), which will be added to our VIN Project. :)

[John10608]

Looks the same to me also 895229

I sent you the VIN off this car. It is the above unit #.

[15559]

Sam,

You have posted a lot of pretty cool pictures of CHP mustangs and other CHP vehicles. But I was looking at the pictures of the wrecked cars and most of those cars either the officer driving it paid the ultimate sacrifice and died doing the job or someone else was seriously injured or killed.

You have posted that you want to be a CHP officer. You will learn as you are doing morning PT and are running by there with your flashlight in hand you will stop there on the service road and do push ups and pay tribute to those officers who gave their life.

Those cars are covered and kept out of view for a reason. If one of those officers who died was one of your friends or you spent six months at the academy with them, seeing those pictures posted is not cool..
Thanks,
John

John,
Mike had posted a picture of that car. That's the one the dept still owns and is over by evoc in the shed. It's 895229.

Chris or Ron, either you guys happen to get grab any photos of Mustangs at MT with the front A-pillar painted black and back about 11" on the front part of the roofline?

That is so the violators can not recognize the unit easily approaching or from their rear view mirror :)

I saw this similar paint set up on a 96 OR 97 CV while I was at the Academy in 2000. I thought it was strange. I've never seen it on a Mustang before. Neat.

[1986CHPSSP]

Great documentation! But, where were these cameras in 1986?
