    Wow living in Florida for the past 35 years and working on the fire department in Jacksonville we use to see these FHP Mustangs on I-10 all the time for motor vehicle crashes. What i like is these FHP mustangs they are manual transmissions. These FHP mustangs are sweet.

This is where I went to find out more about my CHP. Very helpful guys on this website. And they can account for his car if it isn't already. There is a list of all the SSPs that are still around a buddy has drawn up on the website as well.

Well at this time in point I was so was so green about Mustang's about the frame rails on my 92 GT were shot I had a perfect car to swap the wiring harness was still there I could of but I didn't no about all that stuff man I rotten frame rails if not I would of had a 90 LX I could always use the GT KIT on the LX but I didn't know because if I would of knew about It would of just swapped motors out of the GT dropped it in the LX in had a rust free car a black interior car no rips in the head liner I had a perfect place to swap the motors in everything!! But I was green didn't know I like my GT plenty of cargo room if u need it!! Well anyway I have the black door panels they r in decent shape I have the rear black sail panels for my notch to the plastics that go in next to ur rear seats I got really lucky on them I was talking to a guy about some other parts in some how he said I think I have a set of real black sail panels in my shield pulled them out I said how much he said $20 I said no way I said could u ship them he said where do u live I told him shipping something like that would of cost like a $100 if not it was still worth it I seen people want $500 for the pair with broken screw holes!! Mine didn't have no broken wholes well anyway the guy said I will have them at ur house 10 the next morning he was almost 2 hours away he said he burned a 1/4 tank of gas to get here so I gave him the $100 well worth it!! I have the black carpet out of the 90 lx I want to get new carpet but I have to see how that looks in the car! My head liner was perfect in my car when I got it now it's starting to sag pretty bad so I might take a re do it myself I have a black console to I would like to go with a black and tan theme I don't know I wish the black Vents didn't fall apart from all the moving the dash around over year's I have a black dash pad goes over top the glove box I wish I had the A/C vents in black to drop in the tan dash cause I don't want to spray my dashboard black I have 2 black seats for the front back seat lmr sells Corbeau upper and lower covers I think I can do it if not a rear seat delete LOL!!!.
