I took a screen cap of this car when I made the website's front page.

Mike that's actually a different car. If you'll notice the black wheels on it. The pics of it driving down the road was this 1988 GSP. I just got word from Truman himself ;)

Edit. The shots of the car driving down the road ( notice the black wheels) was this car and Trooper;
Trooper Truman Boyle

Badge / roof #848

So in retrospect they use two different cars for filming:2thumbs: Now we've identified two famous GSP's. Will be cool for the owners if they turn up and get restored :cool:

They filmed the show several years after many of the stories happened, so that's not unusual.

They used an '86 CSP Mustang, for example, when they filmed the episode featuring the Trooper who shot and killed a suspect while driving my '83 CSP car. It had already been decomissioned at the time of the filming.

Definitely a little extra conversation subject on the history of your 83 SSP...

Yep. Dec 1986. Crazy thing is that his brother, also a trooper with CSP, shot and killed a suspect 3 months later.
