Said goodbye to my SSP today!
Yup! Today was the day that the SSP left my driveway for a better place - THE BODY SHOP!
I carefully removed the side moldings with patience and a heat gun this morning. Then I gave it a quick bath and drove it to the body shop. Spent about 20 minutes going over the car and my instruction sheet with the tech. Sadly, I delayed getting it in there and a 1962 AutoCar fire trunk got in ahead of me. So the tear-down won't begin for a few weeks. Once that begins, I'll start a thread in my section with pics and updates. The body shop is less than a mile from work, so I will be able to get there often to check its progress. The plan is to paint the entire car in black, and open up the holes for the spotlights, roof and 1/4 panel antennae (parts ordered). I also am awaiting the correct CHP rear deck lights. The plan is to make it look like an unmarked Fox cop car - something that will scream SSP yet not get me in trouble with the local cops.

Have you tried contacting the Delaware State Police about the car? I know a Del Trooper who is in their accident investigation squad. I'll ask him about them.

In terms of Delaware, the DSP has a Delaware State Trooper Association. The website is not up to date, but there is contact information there. If they have a newsletter, you could also place a small advertisement to ask about DSP's SSP's. You could phrase it as a "donation" I sent a note to my friend at the DSP. Hopefully he can ask around and come back with a solid contact for you. I'll post up when I hear back from him.
