Still waiting for CA DMV to get back to me with Ownership records.
Refresh my memory here, did you have a look at the buck tags and door sticker or has this been covered in another post that I can't find. Thanks.

No holes anywhere what-so-ever. That's the mystery. What did it do for its first 8 years? Yes, it was painted B&W to start. Then gray. And currently green, probably for auctioning. No unit number. No holes. I'm patienly waiting to see if one of the three Dennis Wilkinsons from my title history report I wrote replies that it was his car originally. I've got two other Dennis Wilkinsons to phone, but don't think they were ones to have owned it.

Maybe you already knew this, but did you check for a (CHP) unit number written on these key areas:
  • Driver's side door jam (above or below door sticker)
  • Top of driver's side rear window (that's where mine was - see avatar)
  • Written on front license plate frame
  • Written inside glove box (remote chance, but worth looking)
  • Behind/below the rear seat cushion (top and/or bottom)

As a point of reference, my CHP served only a year and a half before being auctioned off with 83,530 miles. Mine too was painted silver prior to auction. Hope you can locate your car's history.

Yeah, you've told me all those places before. And all those places struck out. Mine had 95,417 miles when this guy Dennis supposively got the car. Did he buy it at an auction? I don't know. Would 7.5 years be a relatively normal time for some agency to have a Mustang?

Default AutoCheck

I just ran an AutoCheck history report to see if it says anything more than the CarFax report. It says that there is no record showing this car being used for any fleet, taxi, police, government or livery. What do you think about that?

I wouldn't put much stock in that...none of the SSPs I've run show fleet service.

Sorry, I missed this...

Yes, I've looked at the buck tags. I believe that I put pics of them up in a different post along with the door sticker. I'll have to look back to see which post.

O.K., yes I did post pics of buck tags. Look on the post "NICB SSP Mustang".
