I emailed the guy to see what documentation he has from ISP and also to see if he would stop by on here. I haven't heard back from him.

In one of the State Patrol picture/history books, it says that for a brief time in the '60's and '70s Idaho ran white doors. They show a picture of a late '60s ISP car with white doors, and then a '78 car back to black, with a comment about '78 being the first year for the new-old scheme.

I think it could be any number of things...but they definitely could have just painted the doors black and put the car into service. Jim's '86 is a non-special paint car, and it looks like they did just that with his car (painted the roof white and marked it).
