Negative. The 400 cars are all CHPs. As far as the "protoypes" are concerned, the one that "VintageRacer" has does NOT have a 6-digit DSO, and is NOT an SSP. The Marti Report shows it was a "police demo" (lots of cars are). I still have never seen any proof from him that it was a CHP car, an "EVOC" car, or the "first" of anything. He was given the opportunity to post that info here when he was still a member, but he did not do so.

As for the CHP Hatchback cars, well, there was a member here that had one, but we never saw a build sheet or assignment card documenting CHP service. I do remember an in-service pic of the car somewhere. That car did have a DSO. It was sold by the owner at one of the auction houses.

I'm not sure what the big deal about documentation is; I've posted up every build sheet and every other piece of documentation about these cars that I've ever found.

Hope this helps, Greg.
