Therefore, the cars would be ordered by the agency, using money from the grant, which would explain the DSO not being a GSA 83.
I don't have any paper work regarding the grant. It was funded by the Fed's and ordered by NHP, per the stories from other Troopers. The DSO tag shows "Special Service Pkg." and "Nevada". The only odd thing is the DSO number is Denver (760022) and I think the other NHP Mustangs were ordered thru San Jose. It was also ordered as a white car, not blue. NHP repainted the car prior to service. Then it was resprayed before the auction.

That's odd, but it shouldn't be too hard for you to track down the paperwork for verification. What is the last 6 of the VIN? That will provide further insight on the order.

Last 6 are 206189.

I'd love to document everything I can on the car. The problem around here is they purge all documents after 7 years so everything is long gone. I've been to the vault at NHP's Headquarters and there is nothing left. I did find a few old inventory sheets from 1992-1994 but that was only because they had been misplaced in a file cabinet containing old photos.

I'm going to eventually order the marty report, get the build sheet letter from Ford, and try to get copies of the original titles. I'm hoping to find the original build sheet under the carpet when I get the chance to pull it up. (fingers crossed)

If anyone here has an "Avenue" for me to get this car documented, please let me know.

Mike

I was emailed in service photos of the car today. They are from Trp. Rolfe who was the last Trooper assigned the car.

Cool...looks like a consecutive order of 13. Weird about the white, though.
