0204's story is so unusual, frankly unique, that I hope you do bring it back to life. That plus the low number would make it the most storied 82 CHP SSP of all.

I'm glad it has gone to a good home. Restoring one SSP was enough for me. It will be a lot of work. The history also answers questions I had about 0204, like why the stock radiator didn't fit in the radiator support bracket (crash damage sustained during filming). And also explains why it had another door, which somehow came from unit 0448. 0448 must be gone.

If I can be permitted to be temporarily promoted to "Captain" Obvious, I want to point out that nothing in that pursuit scene in the movie is what would be done in reality. But it looks good. I especially enjoyed how that previously-wrecked Dodge Diplomat patrol car exploded into a massive fireball when 0204 sideswiped it. Must have accidentally added a little Nitroglycerin to the fuel tank last time they filled up...lol.
