#3035 in the same spot:


#2948 in the same lot:

#895392. The interior shots are blurry, but you can still see how stuff was mounted.






Note the spotlight wires wrapped around the shaft and the radio/scanner thing (my dad told me what it was, but I forgot) in the factory radio hole.






Rear decal placement and new style package tray lights, the decals seem to be slanted down in the middle of the trunk lid.










#895250. Looks like a tan interior, maybe gray.




Note the whatchamajig in the radio hole, diff. than the other car.






The white one is shiny(right of the pic)

I found some pics of a couple wrecked stangs, so they will be on here as soon as I get them scanned into the computer.

It would be as I dont have stories of the cars, until a couple of the wrecks...

Those interior shots are great! SMPV, too (anyone notice the shotgun rack?)

[Mustang Kid]

Is it moved forward at the base to put the rack at more of an angle to help hide the barrel of the gun?

Looks like it's somewhat mounted the same but slightly lower. With the mounting holes we've seen on other SMPVs, I would have thought that they had a different rack all-together.

Exactly! If you look closely, you can see the difference between the mounts. The pic above it shows a shotgun lock, but that one looks like a rifle lock to me.

Great photos. Some interesting points:

This '93 is missing the "Safety and Service" scripts on the rear quarter panel.


That's a Regency MX3000 scanner, same as what came on my car. Normally mounted on the right side of the trans hump, it may be located here to accomodate the modified gun rack which laid the weapon down along that area:


Notice how when they repainted this '92 (which was originally factory B&W) to the SMPV all-white scheme, they left the beltline moldings black instead of painting them body color as is the norm for the '92s and '93s. I have a photo of a '93 SMPV that has that treatment also:
