1993 Nevada HP Unit 365
Hello All,
New to the site but not new to the disease. As some of you may know from other sites, I have a work in progress. Its Nevada Highway Patrol Unit # 365. I bought this directly from Nevada a few years ago. It was then being used in a D.A.R.E. program. Since then I have discovered it was retired June 30th, 1996 when the assigned Trooper was issued a new Caprice. It had 98,140 at that time and 105,723 when I purchased it Aug 31st, 2009. I have put less than 100 miles on it since then. She LOVES the Sunoco CAM2 110 octane fuel I treated her to back when it was only $7 a gallon ! LOL. I have the original set of keys marked with the unit number 365. The VIN & Unit numbers match records provided by EXNODRAMANOTCH, ( Thank you Bob ) who coincidentially has the next consecutive NHP SSP ! I have a set of original door stars, radio, siren, lo-jack, radar, Jetsonic light-bar, license plate ( not the correct number but period correct ) and shotgun rack. The car retains it's original Roll-Bar and dual spotlights. I also have a spare set of NOS Gator-Backs on mint 10 holes wheels for show. Currently I am in need of a Chrome Buddy Bumper, 102" whip antenna, dual door stripes, fender/trunk decals, new clear Jetsonic domes and an " official state " license plate frame. Anyone that has any positive comments/suggestion/corrections or leads is welcome to reply. I look forward to your input. Thank you |

Welcome Sarge! This site will be a great resource for your restoration. I know you don't like the way your SSP looks now, but post some before photos to help us really appreciate the work you have ahead of you. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Welcome Sarge! I spoke with you on elightbars the other day.
Oh and, just go look at my thread about my latest ssp project in the members section and that should convince you to post pics. Your nhp can't look any worse....we all start from somewhere....my alabama car is in much worse shape than my FHP was but they can't all be perfect when we buy 'em....these guys here understand and can see what it will be, not what it currently is.

H Brad ! How are you? Small world. I'm looking forward to putting this in the paintbooth this summer. I had wanted to make the All Ford show at Carlisle, Pa but it wasn't meant to be. My SSP is really quite solid. I can't find one dent, ding or rust spot anywhere. It's just not the right color. But that will change, soon. Anyway here's a pic as she was sitting in the lot when I bought her. I also posted a pic of a speedometer calibration certification I found behind the glove box, The writing is very faded but I'm having a friend in the forensic lab try to recover it. It will make for a nice rare addition to the paperwork. Speaking of which if anyone has any paperwork related to the 93 SSP or specifically Nevada HP's that they would like to sell/share let me know. Copies or photographs are welcome until I can find originals.

I have never heard of a NHP with a roll bar (I know mine never had one). Could this have been added when it was a DARE car?

Roll Bar
Info I received third hand was that the assigned ordered it this way and was installed by Jones Ford. Since he is now deceased I cant reconfirm it and I'll agree it IS possible D.A.R.E. may have had it put in. Makes sense but either way it stays in the car. Safety first !
