Default 1992 Kansas Highway Patrol SSP

Many of you know I grew up in Kansas City and because of this I have always wanted a marked Kansas car. Well about 3 weeks ago one popped up, the seller was slow to respond but once he got back with me with all of the information I requested I dropped everything yesterday and drove to Ottawa Kansas to meet him. Jon is his name and he is currently in college in KS and needed some extra cash. Jon said the previous owner bought the car from the state auction in KC? From the CarFax it looks like the car was either in service from 3/9/1992-2/4/1994 45,856 miles or until 1/9/2001 120,104 miles. Then it looks like there was 2-3 owners after that.

The car is rough but that has never stopped me before, all of the panels (except for the Left Front Fender) are original with VIN tags still present and legible the car has little rust on the doors or rear deck but it does need some attention on the strut towers in the engine bay, it does not look like KHP ever power washed the sand and salt out of them and 18 years has taken it’s toll. I pulled the rear seat last night in search of the build sheet but did not find it yet, I’m hoping it’s still in there.

The car has an overall blue re-spray on it that you can see if flaking off, luckily they did not jamb the car so all of the labels, CR label, VIN tags, etc are still legible. The center console has a few holes but the dash is not that chopped up. There are 2 holes in the rear deck where it looks like the PAR 36 style rear lights were mounted (I am guessing on the lights from a picture I saw)

The grounding straps are still present on the hood and rear deck. The oil cooler is still on the engine. The 160 Speedo is still there and fully functioning along with the relocated truck release. There are a few left over mic mounts and wires too. The full size spare cardboard/wood cover is still there. The glove box is packed with stuff so hopefully there will be some goodies in there. The transmission cooler is still there too (but the car has been swapped to a T-5)

Obviously I will be restoring this to in-service condition but it will probably take me longer then the AL car did as I have many “irons in the fire” right now. Stay tuned!

Congrats on finding an SSP that holds such a sentimental value to you. It looks to be a great starting point, and I'm sure it will be lovingly restored by your skillful hands.

Thank you. I plan to keep it though. I did a complete resto on it a couple years back like I will be doing with this KS car.

Default Congrats

Congratulations on this find...I have been looking for one myself for a long time now. I have been in contact with a few troopers that were former drivers of the cars. If you need any in service info on the cars, let me know. I have some research on the cars. I found out recently that Kansas only had 7 cars they purchased for the troopers...more were purchased for the turnpike. The trooper I spoke to by e-mail told me that most of the cars served around the southeast Kansas area. He showed me a photo of his car he took at the state line on K-171. I attached the photo. Good Luck and keep me informed of your progress.
