FL? SSP (87-89?)

Looks like the roof and doors were different than the rest of the car like CHP... The holes are wrong though for CHP and also I bet the spotlight was replaced with this after the round one got messed up...

What other states had a primary black car with the roof and doors painted different?

Great find!

Most importantly is to get the VIN Number.

right on but i couldnt get any closer due to fence and i'd get caught for trepassing which a sheriff unit was parked near me which i didnt notice until i left, thank god i didnt even think about going over.

That's what i wondered... could be a local sheriff car.. it's here in FL so it's no way to be an CHP. spotlight replacement is a possibility... it happened to be like 5 miles from my home on my usual route to work, spotted it right away by the spotlight, fading black wheels.

It may have started life as FHP, but the EMT sticker on the rear window could shed some light on where it went next. Are there two-tone EMT units near you?

There aren't alot of EMTs running around in FL in cars. Where I worked, they were all Firefighter/EMTs, and they were in ambulances and Fire trucks.

Of course....that meant that for any EMS call got you a Fire truck, whether you needed one or not, but that's another story entirely.

keep trying the guy. i am definatly interested in the car.

Definitely! I never see one thats almost completely intact on exterior view but unknown on motor and underbody. no rust i could see so far besides mildew on small areas. one tailpipe on drivers side dont look straight. also having old equipment and unrestored holes and antenna, thats impressive for 18-19-20 years old ssp.
