Thanks Jim, that's what I figured it might be too just trying to be accurate on the information.
As I find more information, I will post it here. The other ISP car that surfaced this year was at Idaho State University in Pocatello after it was at ISP. There are 7 state universities and colleges there in Idaho along with the private colleges too and who knows the other potential departments that could have used this for drug cars or D.A.R.E or a number of things. The surplus program in Idaho states that they can without bid "transfer" to another municipality or state sponsored organization as well as donating to an established charity too. I think that there are some blank times on these cars - check the Autocheck on the recent Idaho SSP sale here on eBay (click on the auto report to see what I mean):

You will notice that it was government registered in 2002... what happened before? I have a similar deal but not showing any government use at all nor any activity until 1996.
I'm going to contact Idaho's online DMV service today to see if there is any benefit to paying a $95.00 subscription fee and $8.50 per vehicle search and get any better information than what I'm getting from Experian. It might be that the electronic records only go back ten or so years, who knows. I don't know if "CarFax" is any better either.
I know that information is sometimes a WAG in these cases but I look to find answers and I'll keep digging. If anyone else has a suggestion of where to look, let me know.
