Tell the guy to paint the window frame flat black.
That looks odd. lol

[28HopUp]

I know, John. I thought that too. If I wanted a SSP driver, I'd paint the whole door black, leave the roof white, and make it into a daily runner.

:)

It's now on ebay -

It looks clean. I don't recall the trunks ever having a POLICE INTERCEPTOR decal or otherwise on them.

Wrong spot light he's throwing in with it, nice stereo ! Wish we had a nice one like that when we used them on patrol LOLOL

Wonder who crawled under the car and wrote POLICE on the frame ?? lol
nice touch.
The eBay guys are after it.
Maybe the guy that paid almost $300.00 for a trunk box will buy it lol

They didn't.

[badbrad]

the buck tags look like there are laser or printed instead to stamped or punched in. ?

[John10608]

First glance they do. But if you look real close at the lower right corner of the buck tag, you can see the 3 dimension letter.
I think he sanded them to show better for pictures, or a light paint over the top of the letters.

Look closer at the lower right corner, you can see they are stamped like they should be.

I believe Bill added this one to the Vin Project anyway.

There are no siren speaker holes in the R / front bumper either.
That's been replaced. Interior looks real nice, probably been redone.
Nice job over all though !
Easy fixes if someone were to buy it !

It's clean !

Adds 10hp. Duh.:rolleyes:

Jk, but it is a good starting point for someone, but typically, people who aren't in the hobby will buy that and finish the car like it is with out changing anything(like seats and spot light). People get mislead into thinking what they have is totally correct when told by un-informed people, like one could say the spotlight and window frame paint is correct, or that the seats were an option LOL

[93 CHP SSP]

Seats are 92-93 titanium grey with no foldout knee bolster. Also rears dont clip in properly. Likely not running the floor bars in able to fit the lower section in securely. Clean car none the less a better start for some than most.

[John10608]

Just got an eBay email from the guy, the siren speaker holes ARE there.
So it is oretty much original except for the paint etc.

He said he wasn't sure about the door window frames. He said it is a really nice car.
I am sure it is.

Several of my SSP's still have that written on them. I think it was an assembly line marking.

lol.... that was the first thing I thought too.

[05pwrstrk]

Did you guys notice the other coupe in the second picture he has on EBAY??? Dark blue. Looks clean too.

I have an 89. I'll have to see if mine says "police" under it.

[John10608]

I've never seen that on these cars. Or heard of it being there.
Mine is not there. I would venture to say that road grime, rain etc washing it off of the car would be cause for not being there.

Mine does not have that. Odd. Find out new things everyday.

[kapracing]

When I get a chance I'll get some pics and post them up... southern cars probably last alot longer lol.
