Hopefully ours is not fake. It is a 5 speed transmission.
Ours was definately unmarked and not used in service (we bought it in 88 with 3k on it).
I will work on getting some photos uploaded and a full description of the car's options/ features.
off the top of my head, it has:
stabilizer braces underneath
stainless steel exhaust
hurst shifter
trunk quick release button
140 certified speedo
3.08 rear
no emission control system
undercoating with blue ford logo plugs
dead pedal

Clay,
The cars could either have a 2 digit DSO, or a 6 digit DSO. Yours is 6. The quote above refers to the method that Ford used to separate the orders, which are educated guesses on our parts based on the documentation that we've seen. In the FHP example above, the special-paint (two-tone) marked cars were produced under different order numbers than the non-special paint (solid color) unmarked cars. Thus, the 4 digit order numbers are different (the last 4 of the 6 digit DSOs).
The sticker that you mention was added by someone and is not an original part of the car.
One last thing to add to what Bill said...the "package" is the Special Service Package. It isn't a "police" package as it relates to the Mustang, and Ford specifically mentions that in its' published literature.
We are looking forward to seeing your pics.
