1985 CHP #8336 First time out of garage since 2001 !!! PICS

CHP8336 · #1 03-06-2009, 01:41 AM

This is the first time the car has been out in years.My plans for the car are to restore it to in service CHP condition minus the radio equipment and the engine/transmission/suspention due to the fact that all the running gear is in new condition.The car is a blast to drive and i think doing a 100% in service look would be a hoot.Enjoy the pics and i am eager to everyones thoughts. THANKS, RICH

SWEET! Your pics are nice to view, since my SSP is in "paint jail". It helps me visualize what my car will look like once it is again back in black.

Good luck with your restoration!

Throw some 5-lug CVPI steelies on it and it will change the look real fast.

I do not use the car at all any more it just sits in the garage.That is why i want to restore the car to in service cond minus the running gear and interior radio equip.The engine is a 1969 351 with A/C .I want to enjoy the car again and think that adding CHP equip would just add to the cars value and fun at shows.My plans are to drive the car to shows and weekend use only.The car is really fun to drive and i know that some hard core restorers may not agree with my engine choice but thats ok.I have owned this car for 23 years and i dont ever have any plans on selling it.Thanks everyone on your replys and take a look at the pics before i start my project on the car in the spring.More pics as the project just begins. THANKS AGAIN RICH

Condition of your car looks great!! Shows what keeping it in the garage can do.

I have seen pictures of your car before when it was at a track day or something. I'm guessing it was from no later than 2001. I have the picture at my house on my home PC.

That is a sweet ride! Love the fuel cell!

Thank you! I was clocked at 154 mph at a Nor cal Shelby club event at thunderhill raceway park in 2000 or 2001.That is when I decided to install the fuel safe fuel cell.This car also won a Ferrari autocross event in San Fancisco.That was a milestone for me and my car.Go 8336 lol.The running gear is all new.Now it is going to be restored to chp in service cond but still retain all of my upgrades I have done on the car over the last 23 years.I have had very positive feedback on my plans for the car from our members on this site.Thanks for the reply, and please send me your pics of my car and I will tell you where the photo was taken. Keep in touch. RICH
