Hector,

That's probably the first plate that was on the car after it sold at auction. Your in-service plate was the car's unit number.

Guys , Upon further document reading i answered my own question on the plate #.. the lic plate # i posted earlier is after auction ! sorry .
looks like the State last smoged the car i 91 at 90k miles and then went to auction.

As far as what plate belongs on the car and what it looked like this is what i found on statetrooperplates for a mustang up to 1989.
The above in service plate pic may of been up to a 93 mustang ..???



the #10 prefix -designation of the Colorado Dept Of Highways the last digits were the Unit # as stated by Mike ..
thanks guys . this history stuff is fun . the above plate i found on CL in Colorado a week ago and purchased it .

Take a look at the mounting holes on driver's door of my CSP ...
It's got 5 mounting holes for something ???
I have seen pics of older ssp's that had a shotgun mounted there ???
my paper work states this car had a shotgun mounted .
any ideas ???? the length of the holes is too long for a club i think ??
it measures 28" from the 1st to last hole .

Mr Drama , is your driver panel on the CSP the same way ? any ideas ?

Hector,

My car did not have the original door panels in it when I bought it. I have the correct interior to go back in it but nothing original so I have no idea what was mounted there.

Hector,

The mounting holes on your door were for an in-house-fabbed shotgun shell holder. I know it sounds weird, but CSP screwed them into the door (webbed material with elastic for the shells). I have an email somewhere from the trooper that drove my '83 describing it, but I have no idea how long they were or how many shells they held. My '83, which is still original down to the paint, has the same holes in the door panel.

You should have several holes on the top of the rear driveshaft hump. This is where the shotgun rack was mounted. The shotguns were Remington 870s with folding stocks, and they were stored with the stocks folded up. The Trooper that drove my car described that as well, and I'm sure his memory was correct; he killed a suspect while driving my car with his shotgun.
