1985 CHP For Sale

[ImEvil1]

+1 to what everyone else said....welcome to the site.

As for the radio equipment, I have some more coming from our friend in CA (not the contact mentioned above by Bill). I'm not sure if there will be any more CC1s from him, but it doesn't get any better than the radios still marked with CHP property stickers (surplused years ago). I definitely have 2 more available, and probably more after that.

Also, check out some of the restoration-related pics and info we have in the CHP resto section if you haven't already.

Thanks for the welcome and the info, everyone.

I'll get some pictures together and measure the bumper opening when I have a few minutes. I've removed a lot of the trim in prep for paint, so the car looks particularly ragged (great for before and after pictures, though).

My wife thinks I'm nuts.

Congrats on the save! I can't wait to see some pictures!

Jim, I've used you and your collection on several occasions as exhibit "A" when discussing my Mustang/car obsession with my wife. Unfortunately I agreed to a 4 vehicle limit (not including my daily driver and cabin plow truck) about 4 years ago after I dug a 69 Mach 1 out of a field and told her I was going to restore it. $70k to restore a car that might be worth $50k when completed did not make $ense to my wife and I agreed and sold it a month later for parts. Thanks for making it a little easier for all of us.

my wife has put up with a lot but believe me she is well aware that I have accomplished my goal +1 extra 84 car. She has made it very obvious to me that I am done buying police mustangs and I am ok with that. For now they are all safe in dry climate controlled storage so I am not in any hurry to get them all done. Planning on doing one car at a time so in about 13 years I should be finishing up.

I'll be 67 then (and hopefully retired), can I come to the SSP completion party?

sure....I will make sure I have plenty of geritol and depends on hand as I will be needing them also.

Join the club...I think it's been said that it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission...although one must be thoughtful about when to use that and how often to do so.
