Default Hello from Michigan and Florida....

New member here from Florida for 6 months and Michigan the other 6 months. I purchased my SSP from the Florida Highway Patrol back in 1990 at the FHP auction in Tallahasee. I paid $3000 for mine and have had it ever since. Its an 1988 from Troop C - FHP 1190. Because of Florida law back then and the hassle I got from local law enforcement, I had to paint it all black. Here are a few pic's of it when I bought it and what it looks like now.

Welcome to the forum. Make no apologies for painting your SSP all-black - it looks awesome!

Welcome to the site. Those are some great after-auction pics. What are your plans for the car?

Not sure what my plans are yet. I just might leave it as it is and purchase another FHP car and restore it to in-service condition.

Good deal. You sure don't see many '87-'90 cars that survived in one piece.
