Default Colorado State Police... "winning"

I woke up today to an email from Major Barry Bratt with CSP. He wanted to let me know that the CSPPA ( Trooper Association ) is trying to raise money and one of their methods is selling retired CSP license plates.

When I called I was unable to buy my plates # 10-0237 for my car.

However I was able to buy 2 license plates for another car. They are used but in very good condition. I guess they were returned after the car was retired.

The plates I bought were for a 1983 CSP mustang. car #202

plate number 10-0202......

imagine being able to find and buy the original plates for a car that was in service 28 years ago. That is pretty awesome. Hats off to the CSP. Once again they have stepped up and done a good thing for us "car guys".

Now I just need to find out who I need to send these plates to. Anybody have any idea???? I think it was this car.....

That's VERY cool, Jim. Somebody is going to be very excited to hear that.

Awesome!! Thanks for thinking of me.

I called and spoke with the Cpl. handling the sales. He thinks that they are the original plates and are in good shape. He will know for sure tomorrow when he puts his hands on them.

You just never know with these cars...certainly never expected to see original plates 25+ years later.

When I saw the email this morning ...I could NOT dial fast enough to check for my set! #10-0246
NO luck though
I did purchase a newer style with CSP 246 as this offer may never come up again.?

Mr Evil, you are 1 lucky guy!!!! Congrats!
Jim and I spoke of your plates this morning but I figured he would NOT tell you for a few weeks. LOL
It's going to give the 83 a back in service feel.



Thanks CSP !!!!

Thumbs up

I got my "CSP 360" plates for my 1992 Camaro!!! One in really good shape (rear) and one in fair shape (front). I was blown away by this email and when the Corporal called me back to say he had my plates.

And yes, we ALL thought of Mike and his '83, but Jim had already beat me to it.

I can't wait to get them. Never in a million years did I ever think I would be able to get the original plates off my car. I've been scouring eBay and even have a search (which I can now cancel) looking for CSP plates.

Hats off to the CSP for sponsoring our restoration of these cars and allowing us to purchase the original plates. Too Cool!!!!!

Greg

glad to help out Mike.... That was an opportunity I didn't want you to miss out on so I grabbed them. Pretty cool stuff !

I will have the platemeister make a set for my car. I thought about the newer plates but I have CSP documentation that shows my car had 10-0237 on it the day they smogged it in 1995 with 85k miles on it. That was done a week before it was sold at auction.


Just another example of why it is important to act appropriately with these cars. It helps to maintain great relationships with agencies that had the cars in service.

I need to forward the CSP email on to Michigan now. Maybe they will look for my plates for me...
