1982 "Rattle Can Special" CHP
Found this one on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=...edirect=mobile I'm 99% sure that we have seen this car before. Used to be all white/primer bad looking. And this is the guy that was selling the CHP equipment I had posted before. Look at his other items and you will see the same airsoft shotgun and the surroundings look the same. I hope this isn't the same car that he had been mocking the equipment up in his previous auctions. Still a very restoreable car |

Sam, thanks for posting that 82 up. IIRC, the owner is a member here, but I could not find the thread after a quick look around. As I remember it, this car was owned by a movie company at one time. Does anyone remember the guy's username?
Taken from the ebay ad - Quote:
Although we didn't know the car's CHP Unit Number, this car had been included in our VIN Project already.

If it's the same car, it's a shame cause it didn't have a red interior in the thread |

I had this car in the database previously with the only notes being that I found the VIN on this 'site and it had Bill's named associated with it. Not that Bill owned it, only that he might have posted the VIN, or an ad that it was for sale, etc.

I am seriously thinking about buying this car. There are a few things i am curious about.
-how difficult is it to find the correct interior -how difficult would it be to find a correct engine/trans and correct exhaust system -is the period correct CHP equipment hard to come by? |

The interior trim code is DV, which is cloth & vinyl seating and low-back buckets (D), and the color is French Vanilla (V). It is a one-year-only color.
The H.O. engine longblock is the same through '84 (and '85 CFI), it's just the induction that's different. Trans is the same through '83. Exhaust is the same through '84. |

I'm puzzled by the red dash/interior. I can understand that it could have been swapped, but it looks like crap. Why take one crappy interior out to put another one in? Why doesn't it have a passenger side spot, or at least a hole for one? How did it end up leaving the highway patrol and staying in California, but it still has "HIGHWAY PATROL" written across the back of it. What's with the 10-hole wheels on a 82? What's with the black and white Krylon spray paint job??
It could very well be a CHP, but there is something about the car that makes me suspicious like the seller wants you to believe it's a former CHP. |
