Cool news on my 93 FHP
Got in touch with the public relations officer from troop H about my 93. Turns out the car was originally Broward County (troop L) and then sent to Talahassee as a training car for the FHP academy. I still need to get the Carfax run again and get some info from the accident it was in- hopefully I can get the troopers name and pics that way. Nice to know I can do the research locally rather than all the way across the state. Here is a bit from the email he sent me-
"Matt, I was able to get some information on your mustang. It was first put into service on 8/2/93 in Broward County. The vehicle was taken out of service and sold at auction in January 2000. While assigned in Broward County, I don’t know who was assigned, however the vehicle was transferred to Leon County to the FHP training Academy where it was assigned to staff members. It was mainly used as a training car. As far as equipment, the light bar would have been a Jet Sonic blue light with the siren box on the roof. The radio would have been a Motorola two-way four channel with a repeater box in the trunk area for the handheld radio. There would have been an assigned speed measuring device assigned as well. Most likely a Kustom Electronics KR-10 Radar. I will try and find some photos for you so you can see the car interior. " Now the car has two unit numbers. The current key has 435 on it which was a troop H car. Who knows about the Broward county assignment.....

Matt, glad that you are finding some more information for your car. I find the key number to be interesting as my '89 had the same number "435" on it's key. Just a guess that your '93 was the replacement for my '89 - who knows??? Good luck with your hunt for more info.

Makes sense. They probably transferred it up there to replace yours. It is not like they could get a new one at that point- they would have had to pull from existing inventory.

Just goes to show that the unit numbers stay within the troops, not with the car if transfered.
