What leads you to think it's an NCSHP SSP? Post up some pics of it. As a general rule of thumb the NCSHP did not put holes in the upper dash if that's one of the areas you are referring to. Does it still have the NCSHP FAS or PIN stickers on the left side of the dash? Personally I stray away from the value discussion in the open on a forum like this as everyone has their own opinion of these things and at the end of the day it's all about what someone is willing to sell for and buy for.

the buck tags and dos numbers came back as the NC. it also has a number painted in the drive door jam? You can see where there was a sticker on the left side of the dash, the number painted in the jam is 2-12-320

I vote South Carolina as well. Up until 1993 the SCHP was a division of the Highway Dept. The designation 2-12-320 breaks out as 2 = Highway Dept, 12= Mustang 320 = 320th vehicle that year. The 319th and 321st could have been a snow plow or Chevy truck or another Mustang or whatever.

The sticker on the side of the dash was a air pressure warning decal.

Is the paint code "W 2813" on the door sticker and BUC tag?

The paint code is EL which is Wild Strawberry. The lower buck tags is very hard to read. all i can make out it NC/police and before that is some numbers which i cant make out. I really dont want to have to pull them off but i think thats the only way to read them other them pullin off the front bumper.

The owner of the car said that if some one want to trade for a NON ssp car he would swap. He is just lookin for somthing to play with and im tryin to keep him from hackin up this car. So if anyone has a coupe that wants a SSP car let me know. thanks

I don't think that is quite right. I started going to the SC surplus auctions way back about 1987 when they still had them on Shop Rd. in Columbia. When you bought a car back then you had to go in the office, pay for the car, get the title and also sign off on the book where the car was listed in inventory so that they had a record of when and where the car was removed from inventory.

All the various makes of vehicles had a designation and if I remember correctly, Fords were a 2, the 2 door bodystyle was a 12 and the 320 would have been the 320th 2 door sedan they purchased. I remember signing off on one I bought and took the time to flip back through the book and they had records for cars back into the 1950's, showing when they had been purchased and when they were sold.

Everything changed when they broke apart the DHPT (Department of Highways and Public Transportation) about 1996. The sales eventually moved to Boston Ave. and the Highway Patrol cars just became part of the state fleet cars, and many of the old record keeping ways disappeared. Wouldn't it be nice to get your hands on some of those old books today.

Getting your hands on that kind of documentation would be outstanding. The info that I passed on was provided to me by a now retired Trooper. Trying to find out any information on the South Carolina Mustangs has consistantly been a dead end situation for me.

If anyone has reliable/verifiable information (history, assignment, equipment etc.) please share it.
