You have it exactly correct. Over the years I've lost track of how many ex-CHP cars I've seen that were transformed to race before anybody cared about restoring them.
1989 ex-CHP spotted at Laguna Seca in '05:
It was just the thing to do back in the day but luckily there were enough of these cars so that a decent number survived to enjoy a kinder fate.
