1982 CHP #0327

[Steve]

Today I called in to the shop where 0327 is. I let them know it is going to be a while, likely 8 weeks, before I make it back in. I was intending to bring the spotlights in, so the shells could be painted and the spotlights installed later, but on August 9 I suffered a fractured fibula bone in my left leg that will require surgery to repair. So right now, with a lot of pain, I am awaiting surgery next Tuesday and mostly just surviving. I'm already getting sick of watching TV.

I did see on the local (Sacramento) news station yesterday a story about a 1979 CHP Camaro somebody had restored. I remember that trial; CHP tested 12 Camaros, mostly in Southern California and the desert areas, but the engines couldn't stand up to rigors of patrol use and CHP went on looking for a suitable candidate. They found it in the SSP Mustang. The Camaros do look cool, and with only 12 they must be very rare.
