Thanks for letting me know that's a K55 radar....my friend has one he was going to sell me if that's what I needed.

PAC is a trunk repeater for portable radios. Check out the pics/explanation here: http://www.specialservicemustang.net/FHP2.htm. (scroll down).

Yeah, I assumed it was just like our repeaters. The equipment is only trunk mounted and is controlled through our radio head up front. So for show restoration purposes, there wouldn't be anything up front you would see.

Some cars had converta-coms also mounted up front with switches for the repeaters. I can't remember seeing an in-service pic of that setup, though.

Great score!

He sent me an article he was in with the car to try and get an idea of radio set-up. It's kind of hard to tell from the article though. I can see the MPH and the JSS but can't make out much more than that. He said he remembers transitioning from the Micor to the 800 but doesn't remember exactly when.

He also sent me a pic from the article showing what appears to be a shark mouth decal on the MPH antenna. Anyone else seen this before or is this another individual touch that he added?

Doesn't get any better than that...awesome!

I can clearly see the following:

single tier micor on aluminum plate with jss mounted underneath,
Vascar plus sitting on dash with K-55 radar sitting on top of it. and yes the shark decal is something he added
a whelen 295 or Fed Sig PA 200 judging by the old school mic,
a 12 volt 3 way cig plug mounted on side of console.
the only thing I cannot see is where he has the radio speaker mounted.

nice pic and great reference for a proper restoration.


Did anyone else see the part about how he has to work 3 jobs to support his family??? Shame on Florida for that BS.

Well shoot....and I already bought a PA300.

Now I guess I need to find a VASCAR.

Great pic!!

Speaker is on the dash next to the Micor.

I worked with FHP guys in the 90s that made under 30k per year.

I also see an aluminum bracket down by the shifter....hmmmm.
