The EVOC sale is out now i know Mike is the guy to finish what i started. i can't afford a car i have 20k into sitting in a garage. I sold it and bought the 92 KHP car nice car needs some work on interior and mods removed but happy with it. It's a confirmed Kansas car by the bucktags and door decal. Love the Kansas colors will try to take pictures of tags but can only see from under car.

Welcome to the fun! I have been battling with the same issues with the Colorado car, and there were many more of those in-service than with KHP. I have even talked to two CSP officers (one of whom drove my '83 in service), and neither could remember what equipment was inside the cars back then.

Many calls, time spent on research, and some luck, and I'm almost there. :)

Well let's hope where the car is 10 years newer more people can remember..

Paint scheme is the roof grey and the trunk lid grey the remainder is blue. But i like the way it's painted like the FHP scheme.

I like how the paint looks on the car :) . IMO I would change the wheels to the 10 holes.

Kansas also used the Mustangs to patrol the Turnpike, they were marked as "Turnpike" cars and painted various colors. I've seen a picture of one somewhere, I'll try and find it.

Here's one from Ginzburg's collection. Note the Turnpike decal under the door emblem. The car also has a different style front plate which KS does not require.

So are you going to restore it to marked condition like this picture? That would be soooo cool! One thing about the rear deck lights in this picture...the round lamps are halogen amber flashers. KS has a statute that states emergency vehicles are to display 2 flashing amber lights to the rear.

I'm not doing paint it's staying the way it is because it's fresh paint and money issues. Thanx for the info i bought some amber ones because all the pictures of Kansas cars show amber. Do you know what the big square in the middle of back window is?

Yes, it's a Federal Signal light just like what's in the windshield. Except I think it would have had a red/blue split lense.

Great info Eric.

I told John that I thought the front light was a firebeam (w/the mirror). Is that what you think?

Yes, the front and back are both Fed Sig Firebeams with the "Ultra-Flash" shield which flashes a 7 pulse signal to it's front. Man, am I an equipment dork or what?

We need specialists like you for things like this, i already bought a brand new uf7 mirror on ebay have one with the light on the way from Texas. How would it be split blue and red? I'm thinking they used the suction mount for fire beam front and back with one hole in front for stability?

John,

They sell half-filters for these. Here's a link to a video of one in red/blue.

Here's the interior. I believe this is a restored vehicle, but I'm not sure. So some of the equipment may not be exactly as the KHP used...or it could be exact! It gives you a good starting point for sure!

Eric great picture but i don't think that motorola radio is correct they were using lowband in the 90's the trooper the other day said he can't remember for sure but he thinks GE lowband. Let's see if anybody can name all the components maybe you?? I wonder if they had radar in the mustangs??

FYI: That seller and their cars have received much blistering criticism on other auto and copcar forums in the past.

lots of bs in my opinion. "85 percent end up in the crusher"? that is true for all cars. I think that all they did for those cars was install the 1LE package which was for racing off the show room. Any one could order the 1LE and since it was a cop car they allowed the a/c, which was normally deleted on the 1LE package.
It just sounds like lots of fluff in the description, but it is late and I am tired.
Good looking car though.
