I noticed the 68k mileage amount. Do you know at what miles they ended the in-service life of this Mustang? Can you tell whether that document was from when the State Police still owned it or after it went to a civilian owner?

The link below will allow you to look up varoius State Trooper license plates.

Is the in-service picture you had on Photobucket that actual car or just an example of a CO one in-service? I don't know much about the Colorado cars but didn't notice a plate number like your document on the link above. Not sure if they had unmarked cars or not and whether would have had diff't license plate configuration.

Hector,

That's probably the first plate that was on the car after it sold at auction. Your in-service plate was the car's unit number.

Guys , Upon further document reading i answered my own question on the plate #.. the lic plate # i posted earlier is after auction ! sorry .
looks like the State last smoged the car i 91 at 90k miles and then went to auction.

As far as what plate belongs on the car and what it looked like this is what i found on statetrooperplates for a mustang up to 1989.
The above in service plate pic may of been up to a 93 mustang ..???

driver door mounting holes ????
 

Take a look at the mounting holes on driver's door of my CSP ...
It's got 5 mounting holes for something ???
I have seen pics of older ssp's that had a shotgun mounted there ???
my paper work states this car had a shotgun mounted .
any ideas ???? the length of the holes is too long for a club i think ??
it measures 28" from the 1st to last hole .

Mr Drama , is your driver panel on the CSP the same way ? any ideas ?

Hector,

My car did not have the original door panels in it when I bought it. I have the correct interior to go back in it but nothing original so I have no idea what was mounted there.

Hector - I'm certainly not an expert on the CSP cars, but was thinking same as you were...shotgun rack. The MSHP in some instances had brackets they customized and installed in that general location within the SSP's. Hopefully someone else will be able to provide some solid info.

My 90 CSP was not put into service till Feb 1992 and was sold in 1995 with 83k miles.
