You'll fit right in.
Some good, some bad, some ugly. Some of the comments posted below that vid are funny as hell.

Cant wait till I restore my NHP P71 now! I spent all day today looking through the hundreds of photos of CHP cars at Motor Transport that my dad and his friend Ron took back in the late 90s and early 00s. I found 40 or more photos of 91-93 SSP CHP Mustangs (in service, wrecks, sales lot cars, stripped cars, etc.), would you guys be interested in having them on the site? I could post them all in a thread.

Hi Sam! I'm glad to see that you made it over here from FEP. From the sound of things, it looks as though your parents have raised you right in terms of being interested in Mustangs! Our son is 15yo, and Jack and I have been working on a Mustang project for about a year.

Thanks for joining, and post up some pics of your 84 here if you can.

Thanks, my parents have raised me right in terms of being interested in cars, even though my dad has his mustangs, I wasnt that into them until I got my 84 convertible. Now I know more about the normal mustangs than my dad (he knows a lot more about SSPs though) and whenever I see a POC fox I wish I had the money to buy it, fix it up, and sell it, lol. Mustangs are great projects, I'd like to see yours and your sons project on FEP, unless you already have a thread about it

Some pics of my dads cars
'85 #8337




The other 85, still has it original front bumper




His EVOC car #5281 in action and when he got it. Today it is still all original, has had 4-5 engine replacements while it was inservice, CHP repainted it once, and it looks like it did in the photo of when my dad got it.




And my 84 GT Convertible before and during the restoration I am currently giving it. I'm going to paint it either Viper GTS blue with pearl white hood stripes, or '71 Trans Am Lucerne blue with pearl white stripes, either way it will be the only one like it in Oregon i'm figuring.

Here's the thread about our father/son project:

http://www.specialservicemustang.net...ead.php?t=2892


Our main parameter in selecting a car was that it had to have front airbags. We also wanted a 5-speed and I preferred a V6 to keep him outa trouble. It's been fun working on it together.
