Got the Marti report last night. Looks like my research so far is fairly accurate except for two items:
1. Marti found that the car originally had a Canyon Red stripe on it. Is this a pinstripe?? Anybody have an example that they can post? I have not been able to find any of the ISP cars with this stripe on them in the photos that I've been able to see in my research. I've got to wonder if they removed it when the car had ISP paint the roof on it.
2. The car was sold July 28, 1986 for fleet duty. No indication to ISP but definitely Idaho SP DSO specifications.
The confirmation of the original dealer is now in place with this Marti report too so I feel good about the direction of my detective work so far. Moving on to verify other information with an ISP patrol sergeant that drove an 86 just after he came on and the head of ISP fleet so we can get this restoration going!
