Wrong decklights, headlight flasher, it's a slicktop, long list. It's a nice car, used to be owned by a couple of members here, but it needs a few things.

I was told that they are correct because i wanted to make sure it's period correct era for early FHP days of late 80s just in case my 89 SSP was a FHP but unconfirmed yet. What equipment was it supposed to have? Jetsonic lightbar that i know of.

Mike,
thank you for clarifying it. I could see big differences between the one i saw and the pictures in restoration pages on your site. Are the Whelen Dashmasters difficult to obtain?

From two FHP retired Troopers I have spoke with you were allowed to add lights to your car if you wished. So pending the light on the windshield is period correct one might have seen one on a FHP of that era. Each Troop was a little different as one inservice photo shows a red light on the front of a SSP (I believe it is also on a video for True Stories of the Highway Patrol). A retired LT from FHP told me when he was a new Trooper in the mid 80's they were told if they wanted red lights on their car, go join the fire department...so no cars out of their Troop had red lights. Mark (Current FHP owner.) does have a correct style lightbar for the car as it was included in the deal. I imagine it will eventually be installed to bring it closer to 100%.

The adding of equipment back then was frowned upon, and this information is from Troopers that I personally worked with, as well as department policy of the time. Obviously, there were variations, and supervisors who allowed it or weren't as strict in enforcing the policy. The pic below is from 1996.

It looks like, if this is the car he bought "a few months ago", that it's as far as it's going to go.

Hopefully they fix the spelling error that I noticed.
