1982 "Rattle Can Special" CHP

Found this one on eBay

I'm 99% sure that we have seen this car before. Used to be all white/primer bad looking. And this is the guy that was selling the CHP equipment I had posted before. Look at his other items and you will see the same airsoft shotgun and the surroundings look the same.
I hope this isn't the same car that he had been mocking the equipment up in his previous auctions.

Still a very restoreable car

Sam, thanks for posting that 82 up. IIRC, the owner is a member here, but I could not find the thread after a quick look around. As I remember it, this car was owned by a movie company at one time. Does anyone remember the guy's username?

Taken from the ebay ad -

Quote:

This vehicle identity of being unit 0448 is currently unknown by Chp car collectors at this time meaning this vehicle is not included in the 20 or so SSP Mustangs as known varified survivors and being identified in the Vin Registry web site as being existant.

Although we didn't know the car's CHP Unit Number, this car had been included in our VIN Project already.

If it's the same car, it's a shame cause it didn't have a red interior in the thread

Thanks for finding that, Sam! The SSP in this thread has a VIN of 213363 according to the listing info on ebay, but the one in the above thread was 213064. So they're different cars - my mistake.

No, no and no...two completely different cars here. Eric owns the '82 in that thread and he is sincerely working on a proper restoration of it at this time.

Edit: Ah, I see Bill caught it.

I had this car in the database previously with the only notes being that I found the VIN on this 'site and it had Bill's named associated with it. Not that Bill owned it, only that he might have posted the VIN, or an ad that it was for sale, etc.

I'm really kind of puzzled by the red interior.

Makes no sense.

Quite probably installed by a subsequent owner.

The car didn't meet reserve at $837. Newly listed with an $800 BIN that ends today:
