Other than the wrongs, it looks like a pretty nice car that could easily be changed a more "correct" car. I think the previous owner did the best they could and if it is a real CHP car, they saved the car from being destroyed or modded.

trunk release is wrong no note pad either

Shotgun rack and Rangr head are not CHP items. What the heck kind of floor is in there?

ringling brothers special.

Judging only by the pictures, it still seems like a nice car for $10K. Hopefully the new owner will join up here and we can help him/her take the car the rest of the way. :)

I was thinking the same thing. With a little "coaching" they could really do some nice things with this one.

Does anyone know who sold it?

[NoDrama43]

i bet it's not a chp car.

[Mustang Kid]

i bet it's not a chp car.

Definitely a possibility, judging that all the equipment is wrong.

You might be right, but you probably already knew where I was going with it. CHP cars do not have trunk releases in that spot, but FHP cars sure do.

[SparkSVT]

I know for a fact that theres an FHP car out there that is done as a CHP car. I dont know if this is the one but I suspect it is.

[FHP813]

The car in question from the Mecum auction, is/was Oscar Paz's old FHP turned CHP. Notice the LX emblem on the trunk lid.

Those pics are of the same car. Look at the map light in the rear shot. Same as in the one that was sold.

[88stang]

Look closely at the switches, on the instrument cluster. No rear defrost #1 give away it's not a real CHP! All CHP's had rear defrost.

Shotgun rack and Rangr head are not CHP items. What the heck kind of floor is in there? I don't think I have ever seen an SSP with vinyl/plastic flooring?

Stay's cleaner then the gray carpet, lol. Yeah it's wrong too.

[chp1982]

The whole thing is so strange.

I'd like to have the radar unit for MY CHP mustang !!
I'll trade him my extra CHP mustang shotgun rack for the radar unit.
Wrong gun rack and radio head mount, looks like the radio head pad is wrong also like Mike stated.
Trunk release and is that a lectrolock release next to it ? wrong also.

Very nice clean car ! interior especially ! Looks like either rubber floors or dark gray carpet. Wrong on both.
But a clean car.

Looks like they tried their best at it.

AND............. these are CA county or city plates, not state plates. 1993 would have been white with red CALIFORNIA at the top, plus, State vehicle plates had a diamond E plate. Blue plates were used in the 70's.

CHP mustangs had no stinking LX on the trunk. Who is this guy ??
Plus the antenna ball mount was painted black below the spring. It wasn't chrome.

[John10608]

and where's the RIGHT spot light ?
antenna clip is mounted in the wrong spot and the wrong type.
