Nice that another one has surfaced. What are your plans for it?

Plans are to restore it close to original as possible. Seems to be mostly intact. Has bucktags cluster even has original tape player. Had an ugly gray dash cover. Not many pics yet but here is one. Looking under the car it looks extremely clean no rust. Has some surface rust and interior is in need of serious cleaning. As far as story not a whole lot other than original guy who had it just left it sitting outside a barn for many many years.

Thank you for all the great info photos and stories.

It still has the white roof! And spotlight! Please verify...Unity S6?

So, you’ve been looking for an SSP. How and where did you find this one and did you know it was Wyoming before you bought it? Did the seller not have any of the original documentation?

Congrats! We need photos of the door decal and buck tags. Interior dash holes and console as well. Would like to match them up to mine. I found some curious holes in the trans tunnel on mine over the summer. It would place a mount of some kind behind the driver against the floorboard.

From my understanding the original owner just let it sit for many years the guy I purchased it from had bought it several years ago and just let it sit as well. And I haven't even looked at it for more than a few minutes. The guy I purchased it from only bought it because he thought the cop light was cool he had no idea what an ssp was or anything about it.

I did however look at the spotlight and it is an s6. Basically picked it up dropped it off in storage. I got it right out side of Kansas ,Co line from behind an old barn in the middle of nowhere.

Will be glad to get pics of the holes / bucktags ...

And a friend sent me a number from a listing where it had been for sale for a couple months for dirt cheap called thinking no possible way it was still for sale and he said it was. My first question was does it have bucktags he had no clue. I looked up on the Vin project and got the 6 vin's and asked him if his matched and he sent me a pic of the VIN on the title.

It matched. It'll probably take me a few days to get back over to take pics gotta get caught back up on work but will take pics of anything that can help give more insight on what they did or didn't have.

Thanks for finding and saving another piece of history. Great save indeed. I left a voicemail for one of the SSP drivers today that I’ve talked to before. I’ll warn you, he wants his car back. LOL Look for hail damage to the roof. Of course, that could have happened to any of them sitting outside in that area for so many years. PM me for my contact information. Document everything you can as these are the only 6 SSPs Wyoming used that we know of. I haven’t found my build sheet yet. Would be great if yours could be located.

Not sure how to reply directly lol so if I miss responding to anything specific just let me know...

Had a few minutes today to pull carpet up and found a few interesting things along the way. The first was a Winchester 380 auto bullet that had fallen up under the console. Then when I pulled seat up found a paint can top that says DSO police... As well as a inspection? Paper and a tag on the dash that may have fell off of equipment??

Trying to upload pictures
