I find it interesting that the CHP repainted some of these cars with the bottoms of both bumpers still being in the original black. Perhaps they did that to lessen the fact that the front bumpers had the hole cut in them for the siren? Who knows for sure. But we have seen several examples of early CHP Mustangs repainted that way prior to auction. One of the 85's owned by Mustang Kid's father is painted white with the black lower bumpers. Greg, was your 82 repainted yellow with the lower bumpers left black? The 82s owned by Jim and litsnsirn are painted in a similar manner. The 85 in NOLA (#E408306) that recently was posted for sale is also painted that way.
