1985 ssp car what to look for to authenticate?
I am going to look at a 1985 ssp car tomorrow other than having a certified calibration speedo what other mods can i look at to find out if it is in fact a true cop car?
Any areas of concern i should look for in the older cars? Also how rare are the 1985 ssp cars also are they carb or efi? I have a 1991 ssp and a 1988 this is my first time getting a little bit older one. Thanks Matt |

Check for the 6 digit DSO on the door and buck tags. The tech section here on the website has more information and other good stuff to look for:

What agency is it? The two buck tags should be mounted on the radiator support. Here's is a photo of the type of buck tag my car would have come with (not mine, but taken from another 85 CHP). Note the 6-digit DSO is listed on the 2nd buck tag, as well as some of the specific SSP options -
Depending on the agency, look for a hole in the a-pillar(s) for where the spotlight(s) was mounted.

Depends on the transmission ordered.
manual (T-5) = carb automatic (AOD) = EFI This was true in '84 and '85. |

Depending on what you find when you look at it...sounds very fair to me.

1984 ssp
Went and looked at it and its actually a 1984 ssp vin 1fabp28moef206937, the car is actually blue over white, like they spray bombed it. The back bumper had 4 orange lights under the bumper and the front had 2. ALso the center console had 2 white light boxes on the shifter area. Found the ssp bucktags, only thing i am concerned with is its manual transmission with efi???? I though only automatic. Had 140mph speedometer, rear cargo bag, had ground straps on all 4 corners. Talked him down to 1200 cash. What do you guys think. Car is pretty clean just concerned about the transmission. ALso how many 84 ssp utah cars where there?
Thanks so much. ALso if someone could pm the carfax that would be super helpful. Matt |
