87 FHP in the corral

[NoDrama43]

Drove to Warner Robbins GA Friday and spent the night at Gregg Henderson's. Then on Saturday Gregg and I drove down to sunny Florida to pick up the 87 car and take it back to his place. I drove back to Ohio with the car on Sunday.

When I first saw the pictures of the car I was a little skeptical but it turns out it is an excellent candidate for restoration. The car has both buck tags, certified speedo, all original body panels with no rust, original blue hoses and air silencer, with no modifications to the motor. Origianl door tag was masked over when the car was painted and is still legible. One key lock set with a five locks operational. The car still has the original black ten holes on it. It has an extra antenna hole in each rear quarter panel but all the body panels are very very straight with very few door dings etc. The interior was a mess and I will have to replace just about everything in the interior, including the dash since it has a 4" by 6" hole hacked into it.

I looked for a build sheet but as usual I found nothing. I am going to put a battery in it and try to get her fired up over the weekend. This car was used by Fort Mead Fl pd as a seargeants car after its time with FHP. I am still working on getting the unit number. Fort Mead PD may be able to help me with that since they think they still have some records in storage regarding the car. I will know more after they look for me.

pics will be posted over the next few days. she aint to pretty but she is solid............
