Hiding in plain sight in Robert A. Wick's 'The California Highway Patrol, Yesterday and Today' is now a third photo of 0360. I have communicated with the photographer, Charles Haacker, and according to him the negatives are long gone.

Per a couple officers in the know:

"It was one of the first one issued and was back in that condition in a short period of time, less than a month. After the prank it was stripped of CHP equipment and auctioned off to a wrecking yard we may have the Engine/transmission for use in another vehicle if needed. If my memory is correct there were 2 of the rolled soon after being issued. There were some things that happened to the early one that we had to fix on later one reinforce the seat back and install micro switches on the clutch to prevent starting in gear and rev limiters, to prevent valve float and over revving."

"I remember that one. The 90 degree turn on Dusty Lane, Empire, New officer to the area. Won't mention any names."

Presenting what remained of 0205 based out of Modesto:

One more. This, I think, is a very cool picture. Although the unit number is unknown, the story is as follows: This big rig driver rounded a downhill curve on Route 20 in Yuba County only to find traffic stopped ahead. He swerved to avoid the vehicles and struck a rock embankment, which caused the truck-tractor to overturn. One person was injured. Accident investigated by Officers Lewis Pond and Danny Williams.

Regarding the Modesto photos, aside from discovering two new photos and identifying a new unit number, check out the roof numbers! I have never seen these on any other '82.
