1988 TX DPS

[GSPI]

Just so I can get an education, how can you determine that this is a lightbar equipped DPS car too? Is it the LP6000 that was used for this car?

[stubes]

Yes they used the lp6000.
I tend to think it was a lightbar car due to it having the lightbar wiring hole drilled in the pass door jam upper corner and I do not see any holes drilled up front on what apears to be the original b cover for the grille brackets.

Thank you, I really appreciate the answers so you know! So this car would have the LP6000 bar and nothing else or does it have the rear deck lights too? What other equipment would it need to be completed (paint obviously but other items).

I believe the lightbar cars just used lightbars and that's it. I have the dps radio brackets, radio head/mic, lightbar controller etc.

Carpet, headliner, package tray etc. I have lots of spare interior pieces dash housing/console with no holes, door panels etc along with spare exterior stuff as well. I bought nice regatta blue seats and I am waiting for them to arrive.

I guess it all depends on what kind of car you want to have once it's done.
I tend to go overboard and i am very picky when I redo a car. Some guys put a paint job on and call the car restored.... I do not.

I know what you mean. I have had to do a frame up on a 1978 LTD already and that was at least a 4+ year proposition. Interesting car and it's fairly close to me if you are in PA.

Yep you are about 2 hrs away from me.
IMO it's a great car for someone wanting a first ssp----no rust and nice documentation.

I may have to stop when I'm in the neighborhood.
