Anyone have any clues on the correct siren, control box, etc?

Thanks!

As a few members requested, here are some pictures of it. I can't stand the way that (incorrect) matching trim looks on these cars, so I'm painting it back charcoal like it should be until the whole car gets repainted white.

My plan is to restore it back to AZ DPS in-service specs, from what I read on the .org website this is around one of 20 cars used by AZ in '86. This particular car would have had a Jetsonic setup, the original radio for the car was included but I haven't picked it up yet. This is the most rust-free '86 SSP I've ever seen, not a spec of rust anywhere thanks to the AZ climate.






More on the way next...

Car looks great...and that's going to be a beauty as well when in the AZ SSP colors. I like that look.

+1. Were you able to get anything back from Prescott to verify what the car is? Never seen an AOD AZ car before, but if it is it's a rare one.

Love the trim rings. I added them to my old '96 caprice patrol car I had back in the day and it made a world of difference. Both are nice looking cars....

Alrighty, was able to get a better picture of the buck tag today by moving some plumming that was in the way in front of it. Can anyone tell me if this DSO is congruent with other AZ DPS cars?



Also ordered my Eminger invoice yesterday, they hope to have it by the end of the week so I should see it next week!
