possible 86 ssp in state auction

[Mustang Kid]

Viewing is the morning of the auction, 1 hour before the auction starts. You have to be present to bid, have to pay in cash, and have to pay in full that day.

That's how this auction works.

I read that in the Auction list, but didn't know if they might allow a preview before hand. It never hurts to ask.

Yeah they are pretty strict on people only being able to view on the day of the show. The auctioneer(and staff I think) is actually in Utah and travels to Davis for the auction.

If that's the correct license number, there is no record for that # in CA,OR,NV,or WA

If you ran it in a smog check or carfax, CA state vehicles are usually smogged by the state, not like regular vehicles, so reports won't show up.

My dad being a sheriff deputy, he can run the plate # and get the VIN. He hasn't had the time lately.

My 85 CHP SSP had no smog reports or history until 1997 when I presume it was sold and the new owner had it smogged.

There is a 1995 CHEVY CAPRICE on the list too!! Possibly an ex-CHP too?? I can't wait to here the results on the Mustang. I wish I could go but I have to work. Frickin work keeps getting in the way.

I'd like to look into the 07 Yamaha Quads too. These are probably ex-Fish & Game.

It was run the same way that your dad would.

Actually, I've seen plenty of smog tests done by the state on state owned cars show up on the BAR database. Sometimes the plate numbers were reported as "Exxxxxx" and sometimes just numbers "xxxxxx".

the caprice is most likely a state prison car
