Unit # is 6 after mine (#8428) - and I believe this is likely one of the last - or possibly the last 85 CHP that was run that year based on Unit # sequencing. Nice candidate for a resto.

Chris, GLWS on your 85. I think it's a fair price on a solid car. I'm still amazed at the number of 85 CHP Mustangs that have survived. The CHP bought nearly 100 more cars in 1984 than 1985, but there are more 85s still around.

Ryan, your car and this one are very close to the end of the CHP unit number sequence for 1985 Mustangs. The highest unit number from 1985 we've seen so far is the in-service picture of the silver SMPV #E408445. So your 85 and this one are certainly at the tail end of the number sequence. I believe the lowest confirmed unit number so far for 1985 is #E408302.

Strangely, the white letter tires look great on this car. I'm usually not a fan. LOL!. Great looking car. GLWS

I have the pilot car paperwork somewhere for the 85 cars. It may have the number listed they were going to order. I will try to find it and let you know.

I hope you can find that info, Jim.

Mick, your list doesn't include cars that the unit number is unknown. wsharp227 has an 85 CHP (repainted in red now) but he does not know the unit number. Here is the link to his car in our VIN Project:
