nut and bolt rotisserie restoration back to in service condition, probably minus the tailhook unless I can document what it is there for.

I already have every piece of CHP specific equipment for the car.

I think the black lower bumpers are just an artifact of the CHP post service paint jobs.






Is the "tailhook" removable?

Did the CHP put the "MUSTANG" decals on? I've seen 2 CHP mustangs with their sale paint jobs that had that decal-litsnsirn's car and the 84 that was for sale on FEP

I find it interesting that the CHP repainted some of these cars with the bottoms of both bumpers still being in the original black. Perhaps they did that to lessen the fact that the front bumpers had the hole cut in them for the siren? Who knows for sure. But we have seen several examples of early CHP Mustangs repainted that way prior to auction. One of the 85's owned by Mustang Kid's father is painted white with the black lower bumpers. Greg, was your 82 repainted yellow with the lower bumpers left black? The 82s owned by Jim and litsnsirn are painted in a similar manner. The 85 in NOLA (#E408306) that recently was posted for sale is also painted that way.

no it is welded to the subframe on the right rear next to the fuel tank.

I think the lower bumpers were left black strictly for simplicity sake. no bending over to do bodywork, fix tock/gravel chips etc.

Best I can tell, mine was the same yellow as this one, but I haven't seen any photos yet to see if it had the decals and the black bumpers. Ron is still looking for those older photos. Let me send him a couple of these to see if that's what it looked like when he bought it in 1999.

Just a follow up on my car's previous life in yellow paint. Ron replied to my email saying it matched the one above, but without the Mustang graphics. He didn't mention black bumpers. Curious that my assignment card showed it sold as a black and white.

Would the Ford dealership have painted it before release per the sale and it just didn't get noted on the assignment card?

Greg, I'm confused (not the first time! ). Was your car auctioned off by the CHP or sold to the public via a local Ford dealer? Regardless, if your car was sold as a B&W, it could just be a coincidence that it was repainted a similar color to the one owned by litsnsirn. There's only so many colors that look good with the French Vanilla (tan) interior IMO.
