Default Tag number

Michael C. can you tell me what my tag number was for my 88 CHP unit #2934? I finally got it home & want to get it registered but need to know the tag number. Also, on my 86 CHP there was a sticker on the drivers door with the inservice date on it but the 88 doesn't have that. Did they put it somewhere else on the car? Your very informed on the CHP cars so I figured you would know these things. Thanks, Doug

I think it would have been 422934. Mike C. put out a list of the different years/prefixes awhile back, but I can't seem to find it.

Dang, I can't find my list either!

But I've got the list of plate numbers for all the '87s and 422934 is on there so your '88 has to have had 432934. I'm pretty sure the '88s got tags in around the 4328XX-4330XX range but I'll have to find the list to confirm that.

The in-service date labels were generally applied somewhere on the lower left portion of the dash on most vehicles, including the Mustangs up to '86. Here's one from an '82:



Once the dash design changed with the '87s, they moved the label location to the left side of the dash, the portion that is up against the door panel. Here's a shot of a '93 for sale taken on the CHP lot:



I found glue residue in that location on my car but the label was long gone so, for my car at least, either the CHP removed it prior to sale or most likely it just fell off at some point during the nearly 12 years they had it. I'll bet it's the same case for your '88, it either fell off or was removed, most likely by a previous owner.

The interior in my car is gone including the dash. What ever the inservice date was I'll never know. I bought the car back in March and finally got the time and money to make the 1000 mile round trip to pick it up. It's pretty rough but worth saving to me. I'm going to use it for a daily driver since my 88 FHP has been strictly a show car the last few years. I sure miss driving one on a daily basis. Here's a couple pics. I have everything I need to put it back in shape so it's not going to be an expensive project just time consuming. Thanks Mike & Michael for all your help. Doug

Doug,

I have the same paperwork for the '87s (Jim Y. got it from Motor Transport), and like Mike C. says, 422934 is in there, with the VIN. I don't see them assigning the same unit number to another car, though. Maybe yours sat for awhile before being put into service? Can you verify the last 6 of the VIN?
