Hopefully this copy/paste works. My car does not have the reinforced floor pan nor the "tailhook." But I see a plate behind your bumper in that last photo that I'm not familiar with. Is that the bumper shock mount? I really haven't crawled around under the back end of my '82 yet.

Guess I'll have to pull the carpet up tomorrow and look at the correct spot. I just don't remember seeing those spot welds and extra metal, though. |
I checked my car yesterday and it neither has the reinforced floorpan under the carpet nor the "tailhook."

by any chance would you want to sell that Fed Sig PA 15-A siren? :)

Maybe the "tail hook" was to keep the body of the car from scraping the groung going up streep inclines. The metal from the floor pan could have been put there to strengthen the body(something like subframe connectors hillbilly style? lol).

Vintageracer resurrected an old thread on the CHP forum today. Jim, is the OP in the thread below the previous owner of your 82? This guy's 82 has the same hook as yours...

I believe that the OP there, who is a CHP officer, is also a member here, and that the pic is actually of Jim's car.
The rest reads like a FS ad. |

yeh I think that is my car....the CHP forum poster could be Tony but I am not sure. I will check into it though since my 82 has that same exact hook.
I imagine it was some sort of attachment bracket for a testing device of some sort. no comment on the hype and hoopla. Everyone knows what that is all about. |
