Colorado State Patrol's 75th Anniversary Car Show
 

I was contacted about this by a retired CSP Trooper that I met a few years ago while doing research on my '83. The CSP is having their 75th Anniversary celebration this year, Sept 25, 2010, and they are looking to have as many CSP cars there at the academy, restored or not, as possible. I'm seriously considering taking my '83 and showing it as-is. The Ret. Tpr told me that he would have the Major coordinating the show email me with further info, and I'll be sure to pass that along to you all as I get it.

The CSP website makes mention of the celebration and car show, but the link to the .pdf flyer is broken.

That sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Too bad I'm not closer in proximity.

Sounds like a good show to attend. I might try to drive my 90 out. :thumbsup:

After a couple emails into Colorado on my 88 CSP we finally got a call from a super nice retired trooper ..
He also has a police car collection , made mention he would love to see our mustangs for the event in sept..
i'm game !:yes:

I am making the trip. Planning on putting the CSP in running driving condition and buffing out the original paint. I will probably just throw some white paint on the red hood and bring it. I think it will be a cool event !

be sure to post up that flyer !! :yes:

Spoke with him on the phone yesterday...seemed lke a pretty nice guy. I say we do it.

I put my vacation on the schedule for this event. Still plenty of time to get ready and being at the end of September the weather should be nice.

Traveling I-70
 

I was planning on taking my FHP to this event also. As we get closer to this event, Jim Y, would love to met you and if your doing the I-70 through KC, would love to travel(carevan) across Kansas with you. Also believe Copcamaro will be traveling from Jeff City, Mo.

I will be travelling across I-70. I hope to have my autopilot in good working order for the great, long, boring, flat, straight, flat, flat state of Kansas.... yawn.

Be happy to meet up along the way.

They have some new billboard signs to read. I heard there is at least three new Mcdonald's up in the last three years and Hays, Kansas got a couple new babys to ad to the US population! As we get closer to the event, we will work the logistics out.

CSP Event !
 

Major Bratt of the CSP called this morning about the event / hotels and such.
He then metioned that he needed to reach a person with an 83 CSP but had no contact info ??
Mr Evil, that must be you my friend ! I aslo metioned you Jim Y.....
He then asked that you guys contact him some time soon.
Give him a ring when you guys have time.

I talked with Major Bratt today. Sounds like a good time. I am planning on leaving early enough in the week to make it to all the events. I will most likely bring my camper also to cut down on the lodging expenses.

He called me today, also. Long drive, but the 75th only comes around once. :yes:

Hector,

I missed your question earlier, but my car will definitely be on a trailer.

I think that picture is an '86, but it's hard to tell.

Really nice picture with the background in that part of the country. I'll take a guess that it's a '85. If you look close in the center of the engine bay it appears the shiney item is the air cleaner lid and at the front of the lid you can just see a small patch of black being the air cleaner base. As was stated - very difficult to tell and I certainly could be incorrect, but it's fun to guess.:)

Talked with CSP again this week. This is sounding like it is going to be a great event. Need to get started on prepping the 90 CSP for this show. I am planning on making a full 7 day vacation out of this one.

1991 mustang
 

Just found the dso tag and its dso 76 which is colorado. Would a 91 be a good canidate for the show. Also mine is a little modded has 5 star svt wheels and cobra brakes but other than that its all stock, well also has a f303 cam in it and some headers.


1FACP40E4MF177154 is the vin do you think colorado would help reunite it with the trooper for the shows?


Matt

picture of it what do you guys think?

Matt

You can contact Major Bratt from the CSP and provide him with the VIN. He may be able to help.

What is his contact number? Or can you pm it to me.


Thanks


Matt

I sent him a email with some pics of my car I will keep you guys posted. But i hope to go if I can. I would love to see some other ssp cars. Mines a little modded so hopefully that doesnt bug anyone. Just has better brakes and wheels some headers f303, and gt40p heads, headers. But other than that I kept everything else original.


Matt

not to throw a monkey wrench into your documentation but my Idaho State Police also has a Denver CO DSO. Does the car still have the buck tags?

What do you mean by buck tags, the one that is near the radiator support? if so yes. The drivers side door has been replaced with a 88.



matt

Go to this link and then click on the icon for Buck Tags...

http://www.specialservicemustang.net/Technical.html

76 Denver DSO...... Idaho car. Check your bucktags and see what they say.

I was hoping to reunite my 88 Colorado SSP with it's original trooper also...?
As per Major Bratt , The troopers listed in my CSP paperwork have passed away after retirement.
The Major has been going thru a bunch of old pics to see if he can locate our cars and the original drivers , still have my fingers crossed.

I have a 86 ssp utah car i still would love to come if that would be ok or is it only co ssp cars?


Also have a 1991.


Let me know.


Matt

ITS TWO WEEKS AWAY Colorado 75th !
 

COPCAMARO & Myself will be leaving the KCMO area around 0800-0830 hours on Wednesday Sept.22, 2010 to make the scenic trip across Kansas to Colorado. (One Florida Camaro and One Florida Mustang traveling together) . If you would like to join " wagons west", please let me know.

Have not decided on my return route/ date from Colorado back to Missouri. COPCAMARO will be heading west to Calif. looking for gold. You are welcome to join us in our travels across the pretty scenic state of Kansas. We were thinking of having a contest.....who can collect the most grasshoppers with the front of their car !

Early Events
 

Not sure on this board who is going, as it seems to be a secret....However, Larry Andziunas (B4C Camaro) is planning some early events and is doing a cook out at his house on Thursday night.

Email him for a head count & directions at coderun@msn.com. There is a trip(driving) planned and escorted by the Colorado Highway Patrol, through the moutains and in to Morrision, Colo. Larry has more info, email for the info.

Will see all on Friday the 24th !

I don't think it is a secret here. It might seem that way as we tend to focus somewhat less on the social networking aspect of the hobby in comparison to other sites.

I am not going because I have some medical issues I am still dealing with from my on-duty crash a year ago. That and the money I would spend could be utilized better by continuing the work on the barn.

Enjoy the show and take lots of pictures for us. :)
