After some investigation into the history of PP0005 and the help of a unnamed forum member, I now know my car's operational history for Ford.
It seems the car was shipped to a company that specializes in transporting and storage of show cars for many manufacturers in Michigan. My Laguna turns out to be a show car that was one of several that hit the tour in 2011.
Details are:
Varsity Ford Display 5/20/11
Delaware Auto Show 10/4/11
Orchard Lake Polish Mission Charity Event 10/8/11
Northwood University Auto Show 10/18/11
Tampa Auto Show 10/18/11
Miami Auto Show 10/25/11
Nashville Auto Show 11/25/11
In storage at Auto Show Warehouse until decommissioned 7/11/12
I'm looking to get hard copies of any shipping doc's for my collection started on this car..I now have the Original Window Sticker "Not For Retail Sale" where it lists the car as being a "GT Coupe Boss" and includes "Boss Racing Package" . Pretty Cool !

We'll see with the current ones awaiting sale in Detroit for what they are bringing at sale.
Oddly enough, neither my car, or the other member that has PP0003, there is no records of what the cars brought at auction on Manhiem.

your help needed
This is indeed a genuine Pilot Production "PP" car. It was one of twelve PP Bosses built on or around Oct. 25th 2010. Of the twelve PP cars, there are 4 LSes, 3 black, one silver. Thus far only 4 PP cars have been offered for sale, including two black LSes, both of which you have found. There are a total of 776 2012 LSes, including 12 PP/MP cars.
These are mostly engineering test cars are indeed run hard. I am not sure how much effort Ford puts into restoring them prior to sale. Best of luck with your research.
I believe if you look carefully you will see the plate does have "VIN" and "Vehicle Number", but the background is a different color than the original. I have seen some of the original PP plates that have not weathered well, so I suspect Ford made a new one for this car.
You can see pics of other plates here:

I just bought a 2013 boss 302 Laguna Seca. It's number is PP003. I know it is "Pilot Production". I just wanna know the difference between my pp003 and the mass production. will you know that?
