Congrats on the new car. That looks like a steal at only $1K - good for you! What are your plans for it now? Can you find the unit number above/below the VIN label on the driver's door? Once you get some more pictures, I suggest that you create a thread in the Members' SSPs Section about your new SSP.

Congrats on the buy! Are you planning a restoration or just drive it?
Welcome to the family

Thanks guys, this is actually my third ssp...the other an FHP and the other a kanab city utah police car. Both I sold to get my dream car, a CHP, which was worth the wait! I am planning a full resto minus the lights, sirens etc until I can locate all that. Otherwise fresh paint, interior pieces, motor rebuild, fresh powdercoating on steelies, etc. ill keep everyone posted on progress. This is definitely a dream come true!!

Well congrats!

My 85 is getting the full almost nut and bolt restoration as well. We'll have the only two completely gone through 85s that I am aware of

Any help you guys can give me much appreciated

Thanks for saving this. Would have been a real shame for someone else to use it for side shows. Looking forward to seeing it restored.

It is an honor saving this and its is in great hands guys. I gave it a full tune today and its a bit sluggish, gonna check out the carb closely tomorrow. Sending out the steelies for powdercoating tomorrow. Ill post pics as I progress.

There are at least two other restored '85s that I know of. The one below was originally done by Jim Yuergelitis (sp?) from Maryland but is currently owned by someone else who I think is on the other board:

The second one was restored by the boys from Concord, CA and last I heard was in Ireland:
