Nice photos MOstang. Love those NC cars. Some of my favorite.

I don't remember any dash scars in the gray SSP I saw. Too many years ago.

I love how the rear deck lights had those flip up covers on them.

Even with how rough mine is, I'm glad I bought it. The one good thing about it is that its a rust free car, and the body damage is just on the drivers quarter panel, which isn't too bad of a fix. The main thing is just getting around to working on it.

Greg - Cool photos! We need to get you near a scanner. Would love to see those more up close. I don't recall seeing a Greensboro SSP photo before. Nice!

I have several more photos of that Greensboro SSP. I just happened to be there when it pulled up. A tall blonde officer got out and walked into a tanning salon. I about passed out...SSP, blonde female officer. I waited and waited for her to walk out and finally walked in to ask permission to take some photos of the car. She said OK and that she would be out in a minute. She took forever, so I just snapped photos of the exterior and finally left. Windows were up, so the glare messed up the photos of the interior (I don't even have them in this album, but I remember there was a switch plate made for the ashtray area, so that door had been removed). Greensboro did not run A-pillar spotlights on any of the cars back then that I saw.

I don't mean to hijack this post, so this will be the last photos I post in here.

Scanners are cheap now, but I've got enough printers. Geez, the only scanner you can find in the stores is an all-in-one, scanner/copier/printer and sometimes fax. Maybe I'll get one this weekend while out on errands.

Thanks again Greg.

Ryan - I've done TONS of research and documented all of that for the NCSHP SSP's so let me know how I can help. PM me your email address and we can get in touch that way if it would be of help.

Like I said, the thing I was most curious about was the color. I've only seen one documented that was white, so I wasn't sure how rare a white one was. Thank you everyone for the responses

That's a good question and hard to say. The NCSHP purged their records during a computer upgrade earlier this century (funny writing that and I think this is the first time that I have) and records were tossed for any car not owned by the NCSHP at that time. Just prior to auctioning off their marked silver and black Mustangs, the NCSHP repainted them in various colors (e.g. red, white, blue, black, etc.). That's why I asked if yours was originally white or not. They also had unmarked units in a variety of colors too. Over on .org they have the following in the VIN registry and it references white color (I don't know if it was a repaint or original color but I'd hedge my bet it was originally white).

That's the one I mentioned.

I'd like to put together something for the site here with known, documented cars that correlates DSOs with agencies (and in some cases, how the cars were optioned). It would require pictures of the door tags and/or buck tags and other documentation to list, and not just word of mouth.

I do not think it's feasible to form a registry that lists every single VIN, since alot of these cars are long gone, and we are still in the process of learning about some of the others.
