The past few weeks have been very rewarding in terms of making contact with many retired CHP officers who drove the '82's in service, putting names to faces and receiving a few new photos.
The following is from retired officer Rich Laurie Garcia:
"This is an 82 Mustang in my driveway. They were fast but scary at high speed. Suspension was stiff and you felt every bump 5 times the norm. Our Area Office (Contra Costa) would not let you drive them in the rain because they were so squirrelly."
Rich was kind enough to share this, new to the hobby, photo:
