Default 1990 NHP Unit 217

Wanted to post some pics and info on 1990 Unit 217.
Thanks to Mike (NHPcars) i was able to speak with the trooper who had this car its entire service life and solve a lot of mysteries surrounding this car and get it as close to how it was.

Car was assigned to Trooper Bailey #243 and stationed out of Las Vegas.
He told me some very interesting inservice stories about the car!

It wore two lightbars during its service life.
Had a Whelen Edge strobe on it as a test piece. Same as the "Raid" Drag Car. The lenses were in the same sequence as the race car and my car was nicknamed the "Baby Raid Car" by the troopers. He told me he had a pic of the two cars parked next to each other somewhere.
Car later used the Fed Sig mini aero bar and had silver wheels on it during its service life. It never used a Jetsonic.

I did the interior install per how he described everything to me and what i have seen in service pics. I believe this is probably as accurate as possible.

The car used the older motorola scan head setup and NV mounted a steel plate to the dash top which everything mounted upon. My car still had the indentation marks of where it was at on the upper dash along with the holes.

These pics are from the Long Island NY MCA show last weekend.
