Thanks
I have removed most of the interior as someone before me smoked and dumped their ashes in it
It still wears most of the original paint (you can still see the State Trooper lettering), but Im afraid that Florida wont let me drive it around wearing the FHP colors

Well is it against the law or not?
Im in Virginia right now, but Im moving back to Florida in a few months

Are there any Floridians who drive their FHP-painted cars?

Yes it is...in Florida. The way I read it is you will be fine as long as you don't drive it in Florida:

It is illegal to own or operate a car in the colors of the Florida Highway Patrol; if one is caught in the black and cream paint scheme, you can be charged with a misdemeanor (Florida State Statute 321.03).

321.03 Imitations prohibited; penalty.--It shall be unlawful for any person or persons in the state to color or cause to be colored any motor vehicle or motorcycle the same or similar color as the color or colors so prescribed for the Florida Highway Patrol. Any person violating any of the provisions of this section or s. 321.02 with respect to uniforms, emblems, motor vehicles and motorcycles shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shall employ such clerical help and mechanics as may be necessary for the economical and efficient operation of such department.
