I just read the entire thread posted earlier this year on the 82 car owned by Mike "VintageRacer". I looked at all 180 pictures of the car and given the location of all the antenna holes, reflective tape, and so on and so on I believe this car was used by CHP. Hopefully some sort of written information will surface to authenticate the car. Without a doubt CHP used 82 mustangs on the evoc course and probably more than one. I believe this car is one of those cars used but there is no way to determine with any certainty if it was the "first of five" or any of those types of claims. The car is a cool car and definatly has some history behind it. Hopefully more information will surface that will be released publicly to put some of the suspicions about the car and claims to rest. Previous owners recollections of what they "heard" from CHP employees are more than likely embellishments of the facts to increase interest and the "cool car" personna of the car.
I hope that all the claims are true because if so it is a great find. Until substantiated the jury is still out.
In regards to my 82 with the big bracket welded onto it, I think I will just restore the car as a road unit and be done with it.
