Default Repop SSP CHP Gun Rack

Spotted this on Ebay. Looks like a Reproduction to me. Missing holes on the main shaft for Radar jack and zip ties. Base mounting holes are too close together as well.
I wouldn't pay that much unless it's original.

It seems to me like this seller has had some cars that he has wanted too much for. The seller name really looks familiar. Are all of his racks knock offs? The metal seems a little thin the mustang rack. The Micor might have belonged to a state agency, but that cable is not the the combination of that head and radio, it is probably for a clamshell head, or maybe a Systems 90 head without the scan card. There should be one more wide connector on there for that.

Wow. Seller has a set of brackets for the rear deck lights. Keep in mind this is only for the metal brackets - and does not include any other hardware.

Bid is already at $260!?!? Is it me - or - is this completely NUTS!? And still has a full day to go.

Jeez...

I should have posted them on the site, but a week ago there was a correct Red/Amber Mustang rear deck setup, bracket and everything, all original, went for $180 or something like that.

If anyone wants original brackets, my dad and I are looking at making exact copies (or as close as possible) of our original brackets

lol they ARE simple to make. I made mine for my car.
They look EXACTLY like original CHP's.

You are correct, anyone charging more than $25.00 for these is ripping people off.

I have the plans - pattern for them if anyone wants them.

3" flat stock, and 1" flat stock, a metal brake, welder and you are in business. Done. Simple.
You can make several in the same time it takes to make one.

I am passing along info from a member that purchased one of these gun racks and was very unhappy with the fit and general construction. Buyer beware, and pay with a credit card in case you need to file a claim etc.
