Congratulations on the great opportunity and thanks for posting. I know exactly what it feels like and have to agree it is something else. Also glad to hear how supportive Colorado has been for you and others.

Greg, great job, you are very lucky. I have heard some not so good experiences with people looking for help from CO SP when trying to restore one of their old cars. Like with most agencies, I guess its who you actually end up communicating with.

I had an original 76 Plymouth Gran Fury that served with the Virginia State Police. The car actually still had the Trooper's name and Unit number on a Dyno-label on the glove box door when I got the car in 2008. I did try to track him down but unfortunately, he had passed. Other retired VA Troopers who I did talk with were very helpful though.

While on the subject of CSP...
I would also like to give many thanks to CSP for their help.

Congrats, Greg. Great story and glad you were able to make contact. They have always been helpful with me as well....putting me in touch with the Trooper that drove my '83.

I need to touch base with Major Bratt about decals. Are yours the older the older version?

Hector, I'm not sure what ones you have on your car in the pic above, but they definitely aren't correct.

Correct... I kept 2 original sets boxed up after the CSP event in sept.
These are the updated version on some of the current CSP veh's, we liked the fact that they are MUCH bigger and show very well in black against the white.
The first car show with these decals turned out a first place plaque for her..

To each their own, but there's really no difference between doing that and running modern LEDs on the car. They show really well, too, but also aren't correct.
