...which is part of a 10 car batch of consecutive VINs. Your '90 is the second New Mexico SSP to have surfaced.
Hmm...According to NMSP they did not have any other years than 1 1983 and 6 1990's. That info is from a 1991 article from the Roadrunner...which I believe is a NMSP Publication. Which makes me wonder about this '88. I wonder if it might have been an undercover car?

Edit: I see the "UN" after New Mexico Police....I wonder if it was New Mexico University? My buck tag just has New Mexico and under that POLICE.

Sorry it was a 1982 that Ford gave them to try in 1983. I have a couple messages in to some retired Troopers. Hopefully I will be able to get a a couple things sorted out. I just learned that two of the six were marked and since mine would have been the state cruiser color scheme I am guessing mine was not unmarked. Hopefully I will know for sure soon.

Quick update!

My unit was marked!!! The above interior picture is actually of this NMSP SSP.




I just spoke to the Trooper who drove it and the above photo was took by him of his SSP Unit #93.

Matt, I do not have a definitive answer for you. The Buck Tag for that '88 reads "NEW MEXICO POLICE UN" before the right edge gets cropped off. Here is the thread where that car was discussed:

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...ghlight=Mexico


In that thread, the new buyer says that the last word says "UNIT". It is possible that this car was used by the City of Albuquerque, but the owner has not confirmed that yet.

It would be neat to find out where that one is from. As for the NMSP they only had a total of seven. One 1982 that Ford gave them to test in 1983 and the six 1990 cars.

It seems several agencies in AZ and NM ran them. A couple years ago I was trying to purchase a Kingman, AZ SSP. We had actually made the deal, agreed on the price, a member was at the sellers house on my behalf, and the SOB sold it out from under me to some kid.

Well I received some good news and a little sad news about Unit 130.

I learned that Unit 130 was driven by Officer Edward Espinoza. His duty station was Anthony, NM just south of Las Cruces. He passed away from heart failure. He was apparently a very big guy as I am told. His fellow Troopers called his unit "the ant" because an ant can carry 50 times it's own weight.

So Unit 130 has a nick name now... "Ant". My NMSP contact is going to try an obtain some inservice photos of my exact car and of Tpr. Espinoza. But for now I have a new shot of excitement to get started on this SSP.

Not good to hear about the trooper. But kind of nice to hear a story about your car...his car.
