It was finally auctioned and then restored to in-service condition as a tribute to the fallen officer...

Yes Ron is the owner of the 69.
I met Matt, he's a nice guy. My dad sold him most of the metal equipment on his car(pushbar, partition, ect). It is a really nice car. I have pictures of it after the accident when it was a legal hold car. It was actually a lightbar car originally.
There is one other CHP caprice that is as nice if not more accurate now and that's owned by a guy in Sweden. Sold him some stuff and I've helped make his car as correct as possible other than an original CHP lightbar and radio system.
I think those are the only two round body caprices restored.
There is one very accurate 89 or 88 somewhere in California.
