Thanks, Bill. The '84 CHP's are really growing on me. I've got some nice in-service pics I'll have to post soon.
As far as survival rate, Approximately 10% of the '82's have shown up. I'd venture a guess there's another 5-10% out there still. I never would have thought that 8-10 years ago. I'm not very familiar with the '84's but it seems at least 10 have shown up over the years.
Related, 16-18 years ago in Chicago I went to look at an 84 CHP for sale. It still had the original civilian owner, tons of miles and logbooks for every single repair. It was almost pink because the repaint had faded so much. I didn't know a ton about what I was looking at and passed. Years later it came back up for sale with a new owner. The rust had began to take its toll. Never saw or heard of it again.
