Good deal. Definitely the Sho-me style halogens for the rear deck. I may have one more white antenna coil here at the house, but I'll have to check. I bought a huge lot of radio stuff on eBay awhile back and had 5 or 6 of those in the box (one NOS one).

And while I'm bugging people for information, any ideas on what radio equipment, siren, scanner, radar gun, etc the car needs?

Lots of good info on that stuff in the Texas Doc. GE Mastr radio heads (I have an extra one of those, too), PA 150/200 siren, etc etc. :)

There was a second page! That makes a big difference. Looks like I need to figure out which Radar gun was used, the S-80 looks like it was not used in 86, the gun looks a little different. Might have to work a deal on the radio head as well. I'm lucky that I've got two buddys one a cop and one a sherriff. Both have hooked all of this equipment up before. I'd be lost otherwise!

We're not too far away from you, either, if you get in a jam. :)

The S-80 is correct as was at least one other that came out in that time frame. You will not go wrong with an S-80. I need to find one myself for my NE car. The 87 Texas car with the red interior with the shotgun and mini 14 has an S-80 in it. It's in the doc Mike put together.

Great deal, I google searched them and came up pretty dry as far as finding them for sale... Guess I need to hutn around on ebay and see what I can find. Too much fun

I think it's a blast....searching for and finally finding a really rare resto item. Definitely a step above just a regular resto. :)

I'd personally go with one of the Decatur radar units. Roman's DPS page (a kick-ass website, BTW) has three pics of '86 cars with what looks like the Decaturs. Matt posted a link to those cars earlier in this thread. I have one of them the house right now, if you want a better pic of what it looks like. I'm putting it in the CSP car (along with a VASCAR...Trooper that drove it said they used both).

Either way...both of those pop up on eBay fairly regularly...that's where I found both of mine (S-80 for the '83 DPS).

here's my decatur...

That's exactly what I was thinking, all of those pictures pretty clearly showed a decatur... so I think I will try to track one of those down. The real challenge is going to be figuring out how to mount all of this correctly, as I have not found an interior shot for an 86 yet. That and I still know next to nothing about what everything does, how to use it all correctly, etc... so I'm going to need to do some research and develop a basic understanding of what all of this was used for. Pretty cool stuff though.

I'm already set on a full body resto, full interior resto and putting all of the correct equipment in it... but toying around with putting a paxton or something on it. The car will see very light street duty, more likely weekend cruises and shows.
