My experience, preference and opinion on the 'most desirable':

Plus

1. 5 Speed......................3 Points
2. Marked, tu-tone State Agency.....2 Points
3. While I prefer 87-93....85-86 are very desirable to many. 1 Point 87-93
4. Service documentation...the more....the better. up to 3 Points
5. Low Availability of that Agency's car....1 Point

Minus

1. Single color cars 1 Point
2. Local/Federal Agency use 1 Point
3. Unmarked 1 point

Based on that I would rate a marked 87-93 CHP, FHP, TX with documentation and good availability 9
.....a marked GSP/NV a 10
.....marked monotone 5 spd an 7
.....unmarked auto a 6




IMO...the more categories of the above you cover with an SSP...the more it is worth. Yes..there are exceptions. My old GSP (Lisa Sams) was an AOD...but a restored GSP is RARE....and that color combo unique....and the best looking IMO. The NV car I am working on will probably fit into a similar category. Your EVOC car is in a class of its own. My old PA SSP was one of only 11 unmarked PA automatics used. I have owned a total of 16 SSP's and based the above on my experience, opinion, sales and preference. Ask youself...how easily and how long could you take to find or replace a particular car. Can you easily find another in a few months...or could it be years.

Lots of consideration needed and each persons preference will vary...but this is what I have found.......this is MY preference...not a rating standard for every SSP or everybody. Each person has their preference...this is mine and what I like.

I deleted the triple post, so my apologies if the one above wasn't the one you meant to post.

The problem with people expressing an opinion is someone else might have their own opinion that doesn't necessarily agree with yours. Disagreeing is not bashing. In MY OPINION.

I think the details of the accident the car had would be the key to determine its correct price today. The seller hasn't mentioned this event in his listing. Dont you all think he should? Charlie

As mentioned earlier, the fact that the car had an accident is good since this will allow the owner or purchaser to research the car and potentially get the unit number and officer that drove the car. Of course the severity of the accident is also a concern. Most of these cars had some sort of damage or enjoyed off road excursions through the median.

The unit number for this car has been posted in this thread already, Mike.

I agree with pulling the report....be nice to see how bad the damage really was.

Most definitely (if he knows about it).
