Fred,

The "police interceptor" badges were never used on the Mustangs, and started showing up on Crown Vics in '99.

Some departments used non-special service package cars for various duties, so it very well could be a car that was purchased from a department. However, the only hatches that we've ever heard about were the reportedly six '82s that were provided to CHP during the initial testing phase just before the 400 or so "severe service" coupes were ordered and put into service by CHP.

So...it's definitely not a true package car, but still could have been used for police-service, like many of the pics floating around of '05-up Mustangs being used.
