1982 CHP Mustang E870255

[28HopUp]

Hang in there Steve! It would be nice if you could find the original body. Many times, these cars were dismantled because it was cheaper to swap the parts over to another car than it would be to repair the damage. However, cars like this sometimes can be saved these days, especially if the car has "value" (which this one certainly does for you).

Here is my understanding of the various symbols/codes on your Assignment Card:

• CHP Office Assignment - Here is a listing of CHP offices. Looking at the front of your card, your car was originally assigned to 401 Central Division Fresno (perhaps 450 Madera office). It was transferred to 461 Los Banos on on 1-27-83.
• R.F. Color - Orange would the color code used in the area where the car served. Here is a link for all of the color codes (keep in mind there may have been changes since the 1980's). ORG2 correllates with Madera and Los Banos.
• EQUIPMENT - The square with the dot in the middle allegedly means the car was a slicktop.
• SCHED. # - no idea what this means
• PR DATE - no idea what this means

Hope that helps a bit.
