No '83-5s Mike
 He moved the yard in '85-6 sometime, from central Austin. At that time he had to crush a lot of what he had that wasn't savable; that included most of the rough DPS cars from '83-5. And no, I haven't gotten the VINs or car numbers. That would take quite a bit of time, time that I haven't had here recently to run out there and do...

Chris, Do you think we could see if some of the SSP specific interior items can be salvaged?

Tom, I'm sure some of the parts are savable, but most of these parts have been sitting out in the open, exposed to the elements for 20 years. So I doubt many of those parts are still usable unless they are metal items.

Mike, if you decide to come up, please PM or email me, I'll give you all of the info you need. Bring a paper and tablet though, lots of notes could be made. You could note which cars are auto/manual, which cars have only one spotlight and which have more, etc etc.

Will do. It would be a nice ride, especially with the weather we've been having lately. I've been to the DPS lab there a couple of times for work...but haven't had the chance to get back over there and take the tour.

Thanks for the pics
 I'm glad that one was saved. Someone needs to save the other one. Even if someone bought it and sold it someone else that wanted to fix it, that would be good.The cars would have one heck of a story once restored  You don't see stuff like this everyday...

The problem is that the 2nd car, an automatic, has a tweak in the door frame. Maybe a frame machine could pull it straight, but it's never going to be "right" again. But, I'd be ecstatic to see someone save it regardless!
