1985 NCHP
 

*since it's finally herreafter transport hell and have confirmed it is what I thought it was. Friend found this before it was posted here and I bought it. I also originally thought Texas but as I got more info turns out it is NCHP car and looks to be all black. Confirmed with Marti report and vin is in vin project in same batch as the other 85 found recently. I haven't had alot of time since it got here I have a new 5 week old. But build sheet is under carpet and I am finding tons of cool things. Car is 1 family owned since out of servive and mostly original. Will start a build thread when I can and will be asking for help identifying a few things. I have been wanting a 4 eyed car and my buddy knew it and he found me a rare one. I believe the other 2 found are gray with red interior. Mine is black with blue interior. And yes all the rakes were removed and I didn't get any of the tiki torches. The car is no longer a shed . Maybe a moderator can move some of pictures here?? Please

Here is the thread from when the car was recently for sale:

...and attached are the pictures. Feel free to email me some more and I will attach them in this thread. :)

cool find John. Rare as hell also and will make a nice resto. I am hoping you find some silver paint on that roof under the black.......

No real black paint left on roof except that stripe you see.

Started new Fotki and edited my signature will be posting pictures on there.

This is such a cool car, glad it went to a good home. Can you post the Marti report for us? Curious how it was ordered.

NCHP
 

Thanks Chris probably run me into poor house and would have better going with some of theother cars I inquired about but black and white cars would be issue around here. And NC 1 of cars I always wanted. Still haven't had alot of time to go over car or get it running but looks like it was all black no resprays or crazy mods on it so what you see is what you get. I sent marti report to Bill for vin project because I'm having issues with resizing but Bill is also having compyter issues but says he will have it posted for me asap. The build sheet is under carpet I pulled up edge can see LINA on it but didn't want to pull it up anymore because its got parts stuck to carpet. Was ordered loaded with 5 spd and 3:08 rear also lists the 15" wheels. Black 1c o believe with blue interior and blue pinstripe.

If you can post a pic of the build sheet I can decode a lot of it.

NCHP
 

Sounds good not sure I will even get to look at it this week.

Wow, so cool. I'm glad you ended up with this one, great save. The fact that it's a 5sp car is extremely cool as well, and probably one of the only non-texas cars in that color combo. Can't wait to see more!

NCHP
 

See if this works

NCHP
 

If you look at date sold on report I think my unit # is marked by my firewall. Will post that on fotki

Interesting the blue stripe indicated...is that a pin stripe down the side?

NCHP
 

Its not there but yes looks like a double stripe was on it will try to vet picts

Nice save John on a super rare car. I "bet" they ordered the cars all black and put the silver on them in house. does the car have screw holes in the rear quarterpanels at the decklid seam where the antennas would have been mounted?

NCHP
 

Thanks Jim, no it had 3 antenna's but all were set screw type on trunk lid I will put up picts on fotki later heading into Boston to see parents with the baby. I was wondering same about the silver. Either way it might go 2 tone.

For various years they ran both marked and unmarked (including plain black), but with the documentation from the NCSHP no longer being available will be challenging to know for sure. So to that end you'll likely just need to see if you can find any visual clues that might indicate or make an educated assumption and go with it. Either way it will be cool one to see brought back. The silver and black color combo is one of my favorites.

NCHP
 

Just added some pictd to fotki please feel free to give me input here about ideas you might have

Looked at the pictures.

obvious lip mount antennas in pic #12.
rechargeable flashlight mount in #14
reflective tape residue in diamond shape in #19
DEFINATELY NOT !! stop sticks in #23. Most likely a shot gun rack.

Any idea what shotgun rack? You don't think 3 antenna's?

like this possibly.

gun rack
 

But has 6 holes I think it's the roof mount style that is adjystable. Will look for a picture thsnks Jim

We talked about this before and it's probably buried in a thread here...someone bought one back in the day from them and it was 2-tone, but it was a non-special paint car. I remember seeing one somewhere that was a factory 2-tone, so maybe they ordered both ways over the years?

Congrats on your purchase, John. (and your other addition!)

Thankyou Mike

i just recently saw a NCHP door tag that had two paint codes, black and silver but it was a 90's car. My guess is they probably bought the early cars one color and then ford agreed to paint them two tone in later years.

I have also seen the 2 paint tags but on 90's cars also. I have a Trooper searching for info in NC.

Only year NCSHP that I have seen two paint colors was 1990...

Who owns 251180? Thought mine only black 1 found?

Bill has a Marti report from 251180, posted here: http://www.specialservicemustang.net...&postcount=445

Don't know if it's still alive and if it is who owns it. Last time it was heard from was in TN in 1994.

good stuff Mick.

Nice!

NCHP
 

Spoke with a retired Major today he is going to do some research. They also have a anniversary next year hope to get this to a point maybe get it down there.

NCHP
 

Killing me not having time to get out in garage and puck away at the car and waiting for call backs with possible info....

NCHP
 

Had 15 mins to get out in garage pulled on carpet a little more but need to remove seatbelt bolts and seat to get at build sheet. Not looking good keeoing it in 1 piece.

NCHP
 

Haven't had any time to even look in garage opened door yesterday to get wheels I sold and looked at it wishing had few hours to get running but no such luck hopefully soon! Happy 4th to all.

NCHP
 

All the people I spoke with haven't gotten back to me with any info on car and I haven't been in garage in a month. Been thinking of ways to get build sheet off bottom of rug was thinking euther wet rug to get it to release or use clear taoe sheet stick to back of rug/build sheet and hope it pulls off. Any thoughts?

Getting the build sheet free is going to be tough after all of these years. I have not found a good method. My recommendation would be to take multiple pictures of it before trying anything. Good luck!

That is a real good suggestion.

NCHP
 

Forgot to post looks like the gas card holder was under column on fuse panel cover

I just looked through thread and realized I didn't tell cars story and why it's so original. Guy I bought it from's brother bought car in 1995 from NCHP I was told. He had it until 98 when he died it sat at their parents until 2000 when guy I got from came home from military. He took it to his house where it sat until 2003 he registered it 2003-2006 then it sat there until I bought it. He doesn't remember last time he started it. And sadly I haven't had a chance to get it running yet.
