What would you do?
What would you do with this SSP?
Here's the history...The buck tags indicate it was for CHP and show that it was painted black & white. You can see the black in the engine bay and can see the white around the door and roof where the paint has chipped. But...below the paint is gray, under the hood and truck lid are still gray. As it sits now, it is Reef Blue. There are no holes anywhere indicating CHP use. No holes for antennas, spot lights, radios, shot gun rack, lights, ect. I've talked to CHP motorpool, they have no records left for this car. I've found no unit numbers where other members have found theirs on their CHP cars. I thought is that it was destined to be CHP, but they didn't need it. So they shipped it off to some government office, FBI or DEA? That is why the gray paint. This past week I've started the process of stripping out the performance parts. Once I clean up the stock parts, they will all go back on. So, back to my question...If this was your car, how would you proceed? What would you do with it? I ask you because of what you all are all about. If I asked this question on another forum, they would probably want to make it a racer.

Toshi,
My vote us that it was either a CHP car that was messed with after service or it was a B&W that was repainted and used as an admin vehicle. I'd restore it as a marked car.

No matter what it was used for or what color it was repainted, I would return it to how it came from the factory.

I forget - does your car still have the 2nd Buck Tag? If so, what does it say? Your answer(s) will sway my response to your inquiry.

How would you feel about installing the antennas that would normally have been on the trunck and quarter panel? Remember, there are no holes indicating that such antennas were ever installed.

If you are going for an in-service restoration, then you'll need to go all the way and drill the holes that the CHP would have done to your car. Just remember - measure twice, cut once!
 [and I'm sure the members here will assist you in finding the right spots to drill]
