Door stickers and buck tag both say Black & White.
I've been jumping back and forth between B&W or solid black or solid white. I like the idea of doing it B&W and putting the CHP markings on. But because it doesn't have any of the other CHP stuff, I was hesitant on going that route, thinking that it then would be like making a 'clone'. It did come from the factory B&W. B&W it shall be. Now I know what direction I'll be taking it. Thanks guys. Next I'll be in pursuit of all the decals.

That's a good call IMO. After re-reading my post, I realized that I unintentionally left a vague answer. Since you have the Buck Tags and know how the car was originally delivered to the CHP, then putting it back to in-service condition is the best path forward. If the car was undocumented, then I would have suggested all-black and leave it unmarked. Did you notice if the car had a rollbar ever installed? Maybe it was an EVOC (long-shot, I know). An SMPV perhaps? I'm getting my CHP decals from Dave at M Squad. I plan to apply mine to magnetic material, since I drive my SSP frequently. Good luck with your project, and keep the pictures coming!

Thanks Bill! And all the rest of you for your advice. I just had a hard time deciding which path to take with this car. Now I know and can build appropriately. I'd like to do the magnectic decals, too. Although I won't be driving it as much as I used to. I'm kind of stuck driving a truck to work. Kind of hard to carry lumber in a Mustang.

I agree with Mike (ABN2060), I would restore it to how it left the Dearborn Assembly Plant: B&W, with no equipment. That being said, I DO think it would be cool to have magnetic decals made to slap on when you show the car (without all the electronics) as a what should have been and complete the intended look from when it was built. I agree with you, Toshi, that a full marked and equipment "resto" would be kind of a clone, although not as bad as a real clown car (4 cyl conversion).

Be sure to check the backsides of the rear seat cushions and the face of the front license plate holder for an ID#, they are sometimes marked there.
