I took a look; no CHP Mustangs that I saw.

Further, the pic that Bill posted is of an '82 (per the taillights). Chances are that it was NOT a DPS car, if it even was an SSP.

Eric, you may be able to learn the CHP Unit Number by requesting the DMV Registration History for your car. Here's a discussion thread about doing that:

When I received the one for my 85, it listed the CHP as the first owner, and included the original license plate number which would give you the Unit Number. I know another member with an 82 was unsuccessful when he tried, but you'll never know unless you try! :)

I'm guessing he's referring to me. :)

I'm forced to pretty much do a complete restoration on my '82s interior since it continued daily use upon retirement for many years afterwards. I'm looking into seat upholstery, headliner, package tray, door panels and carpet, not to mention the dash pad/cover. So far, I've found the door panels to be most elusive. I have samples from SMS for the headliner, seats and carpet, but the carpet was too light and the pattern on the black cloth for the seats was close, but not a perfect match. Fox Mustang Restoration has offered to build a package tray out of a sample material they found that's close to original for $124.99 compared to their normal price of $89.95. Our .net discount will still apply. I haven't asked about multiple orders = better pricing yet.

I just got a National Parts Depot catalog in the mail and they have the washer bottle I need for $40 and advertise the seat covers in cloth/vinyl from TMI, but for interior trim code DV, they say to call. I plan to make that call soon, too.

My build sheet is M.I.A. Did you find yours behind the rear sail panel? My left one had tape residue and that's where Mike found his.

Congrats on your purchase and let's stay in touch while we both restore our '82 CHPs.

For those of you who may be wondering what happened to the 1982 CHP Mustang (1FABP10F7CF213064) listed on ebay back in February 02, 2011, well I am glad to tell you all I purchased this car on ebay with intentions of restoring this vehicle back into its service condition. The car was purchased in Van Nuys California and is now permanently located in my hometown of Bakersfield California. In the short time that I have owned this historical vehicle I have stayed focused on just acquiring the hard to find period correct equipment this vehicle once had.Here is a short recap of this vehicles progress and whats been going on with it. I was fortunate to get in contact with Robert Reed not long after my ebay purchase and with his help I was able to acquire most of the equipment I was looking for."C L" has also been a valuable site for me on two caissons in acquiring some of this vehicles other hard to find equipment. I posted a listing in "Auto Parts" category in Sacramento and the header said this "Wanted CHIP Ford Mustang Wheels".I went a far to paste a picture of what style wheels and hubcaps I was looking for in my listing. Then one day approximately five weeks later and out of the blue an older gentleman responded to my listing. The first thing he said," is this Eric,I have what you are looking for". I almost hung up on him and not realizing he was responding to my Wanted Posting.(I am glad I did not hang up on him)The gentleman informed me he once owned a retired 1982 CHIP Mustang that he purchased after its retirement from state service and that he believed he had a set of wheels and tires that I was looking for.The gentleman also informed prior to selling his Mustang several years ago he had removed its wheels tires and hubcaps and replaced them with a set of aftermarket wheels and tires. When the kind gentleman proceeds to tell me that after all these years he still had the CHP Mustang wheels tires and hubcaps from his Mustang in his storage building, the phone almost fell out of my hand.Then when the gentleman informs me he wanted one hundred and fifty dollars for the whole set and that he would send pictures later on that afternoon.Needless to say a text message appeared on my phone with three pictures of the wheels and tires my heart stopped. I thought to myself how cool how this transpired To make a long story short,two weeks later the kind gentleman was driving into Bakersfield California on his way to vacation in Arizona.In the back of his truck was the complete set of CHP wheels tires and hubcaps for my Mustang. Just recently I listed a "Wanted Federal Signal CC1" along with a picture in the Los Angeles "C L" Auto Parts category and I get a call with in two weeks from a gentleman living in the Orange County area and he tells me he had an extra CC1 available for sale.Well needless to say after 2 1/2 hour drive up to Orange County from Bakersfield I bought a working Federal Signal CC1.I am looking forward to moving on with this project.Unfortunately my Mustangs unit number and E plate umber is unknown at this time as the driver side door was replaced at one time and Mr Reed has not been able to find my Service Card for this car at CHP Motor Transport. I recently attended the 2011 Ripon Car show and was fortunate to meet "mac88chp" and got to see his beautiful restored CHP Mustang. His encouragement for me to keep moving forward with my project has refueled my motivation to attend the 2012 Ripon event with my CHP Mustang in its finished or unfinished states.

I like it! It is great that it is pretty original. Interesting how someone used vinyl top trim to separate the white top from the body. A+ on posting lots of pics:2thumbs:
