It looks like, if this is the car he bought "a few months ago", that it's as far as it's going to go.

Hopefully they fix the spelling error that I noticed.

2. check with Dad to see if the made up crap is ok.
3. put the crap sign on the car.
4. display car as marketing tool to help Dad sell more cars.

I think when these photos were made they only had the car a few weeks...it has been just over a month now that we did the deal...so yes creative writing was done here...lol Also to make one thing perfectly clear 98% of what you see on the car was done by Doug (FHP0739) not me. I never have claimed that and I never will. The car actually went to New England before Doug purchased it. He restored it 8+ years ago and I bought it from him last summer.

I talked to a Joe Snowden who retired a LT a few years ago and a retired Captain at Indy last year...I do not recall his name. Snowden had three FHP SSP's and gave me the info that it was not until around 1990 that the deck lights started appearing.
These are two inservice photos and the one with the airplane is reported to be a 1988. Neither car has the rear deck lights or anniversay decals.



I guess it would be possible for them to be added on later, but I doubt an '88 on it's way out the door would get them...but we all know how the government operates so anything is possible.
It should also have the anniversay decals on it, but I never installed them. (I was also told any car inservice during the anniversay year had the decals put on.) I had also purchased the correct dash masters but after learning my car probably did not have them originally I was just going to save them.

That's the same info posted in the FHP Resto doc here, and the same info I've received from numerous Troopers. I'm not sure when that particular car came out of service, and you didn't post when those pictures were taken, but it's very possible that they were added to the car, depending on how long it was in-service. As an example, Jim Y's unmarked was with FHP for 10 years, and I'm sure saw many changes along the way. They were still selling '88s in 1993, as a guy that I EOD'd with at the city had just purchased one.

I never saw any cars running around with the anniversary decals in '90-'91. I think they were on the cars for the year and removed.

Cool pics Matt...I enjoyed seeing your old FHP at the Indy PCOOA event by the way...too bad won't be seeing again (at least not any time soon). Love that tan interior!

I gave Mark all the papers on her, but I think it came out of service in '90 or '91. Was sold to one Police agency and a few months later it was sold to Auburndale PD to be used as a SRO car. That was the best history I could get on her. The FL BMV pulled the micofiche title up and could not locate the unit number on it. The SRO who drove it was a LT for Clearwater PD when I talked to the one Captain at APD. He was going to pass my info to him, but I never heard back.

The pic with the plane I believe was took in '88 the other one I have no idea.

Yeah, I miss looking into the garage and staring at her. The tan interior for being almost all original was very nice. It was a toss up on which one to sell but we are very happy with TX DPS...and at least we don't see 4 or more at each show...lol.

Ugh! That explains it...restoration is a very loose term for what was done to that car.
