Hey Bill, not wanting to be bossy here, but you ought to move this thread to the restorations section. There's tons of good info here that I would hate to have buried in the for-sale section. Or maybe migrate some of the pictures/info onto a new thread in that section. I can't wait to follow this car through the resto!

Although the 85 SSPs came with the steel wheels originally, we know from the above picture that the wheels were changed on #E408445. Since the in-service picture of my car does not show the wheels, I will most likely go with polished 10-holes on #E408383 as well. We also know from the pictures of #E408445 and my car that they had an antenna on their rear decklid. Ken's 89 SMPV has a hole in the decklid for an antenna. Sadly, the decklid of my car has been replaced. Since the car has no apparent damage to the body, I assume that the original deckild was replaced because of the antenna hole. So I will get detailed pictures of Ken's SMPV so I can replicate the placement of that antenna on the decklid. I wonder what antenna was used? Also, it has been said that the rear decklid lights were replaced on the SMPVs with lower profile units. I wonder if they were similar to the ones on this 1986 CHP Mustang? If so, can anybody identify these particular lights? |

Looks like Tomar RECT-37. CHP talks about testing them in the paperwork Jim got from Rob R.

That car's going to to be a great project. When does it arrive and what are the plans for your current SSP?

BTW, the two Senator Ford license plate frames arrived. The chrome looks fine, but the raised lettering and recessed areas will need to be painted. I bought two because for all I know they put the frames on the back too. HOT OFF THE PRESS! Jack, aka Va 5.0, has uncovered some EXCELLENT information on the 1987 SMPV pilot program. Jack obtained an 80-page report from 1988 to the California State Legislature about the SMPV program, as found here: https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/Publicatio...aspx?ID=117995 Jack just received his copy, and will be sending me a photocopy of the report, which I will scan and put up here. Jack summarized the information as follows: Quote:
