You can get a catted "H" pipe and have it installed. I bought one for my car that has the 2 converters from Walker. I was able to get it through Amizon for less then $300... I had it in 2 days. I typed in the Walker part number on the google search and there it was with free shipping... It passed New Jersey emmisions with no problems. Good Luck with your new aquisition.. have fun and enjoy it!!

Default Info update

Thanks for all the well-wishing, guys. I got the VIN and am doing basic research on the car now. The VIN hits on the SSP VIN registry at SSPmustang.org as an FHP car, unit 0805 w/ same tag number, out of "H-Tallahassee." If I request a crash report, as instructed under the agency-specific resto forum, would that tell me if it was a marked or unmarked unit, and other info, or would it just tell me if someone ever destroyed it?

It doesn't have a searchlight, but I'm not sure if those were standard equipment on the FHP cars anyway. I want one, though, haha.

This is getting kind of exciting. Thanks again.

If it's blue.....and the paint code matches, and the transmission code matches an AOD, then you have a former unmarked car. It could have been a supervisors car, admin, or even a car used at the academy since it was out of Tallahassee (many possibilities).

The VIN info you are referring to came from Nodrama here, from a contact he met, so it's pretty accurate. Glad you were able to find your unit number.

Default Picked it up today! Pics hopefully make it through

Hey guys, just got back from my 4 1/2 hour drive to pick up my new SSP Mustang. Awesome! Had a great drive back, down fairly quiet back roads and through as close as you can get to real "country" around here (I live south of DC). Hopefully these pics make it, any help with the door and buck tags would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Your car is two vin numbers off from my black 93 unmarked car and is the same DSO.

PM me your address. I have some documentation on your car you are going to want.

Great, thanks. PM sent. I tried emailing the FHP yesterday evening, but got a reply back today saying that they do not maintain any records on the vehicles past when they are taken off the state's books, and that they wouldn't really be able to help me any. Maybe I could try again with a better recipient than whichever officer got in trouble and stuck on the "answer people's emails" desk for the month, haha.

I like the color too, and that's a great pic of yours. What in the world did the USPS use Mustangs for, anyway?
