The car looks pretty unmolested. I'd bet the build sheet is still in there, and it will probably confirm it as an Idaho car.

Idaho obviously painted the '86s (roofs). I'm sure if the '83s came in with white doors, they just painted them black and away they went. Alabama is another agency that did this, as evidenced by the car that was recently found and is being restored. It's not a special paint car, either, but they ran them with the hoods and trunks painted a different color.
