Nice pics....couldn't help but notice the Cramaro being stored inside while they have the Mustang parked outside, though.

Nice pics. Might have to post some of my dads from a couple years ago
It would be amazing if we somehow found the last Mustang... Would look good next to the last Caprice |

Equally surprised that the Mustang has lost it's storage.
I heard rumor that the CHP had allowed one or two of the older cars to be released to a private party for restoration. Some guy was talking about how he was restoring one of the older 70s units for them (private funding) and they allowed him to take it off property. Any truth to that? Maybe we all offer to take one home for safe keeping? That dippy could be a cool car with a little love. And the 92 Camaro still inside?

Were you able to read the license plate or learn the Unit Number for this car?

But I think they need to find some way to put it under cover. |

Not sure how old the photos above are but you can see the Dippy has deteriorated even further. Quote:
As raising funds for a separate musuem building has fallen very short of goals, they are instead planning to greatly increase the current museum space in the Academy building but they will still have to rotate cars into that facility. |

Yes, it's E881517. As of a few years ago, I heard that this unit was known to still be in CA and owned by a young man who knows exactly what he has and that he absolutely would not sell it. He's never surfaced online or anywhere else I've been but I'm hopeful the car will eventually see the light of day and maybe even be restored.

That's too bad...the NCSHP keeps most of the historic vehicles they have outside - under car ports. That was tough to see too!

Sorry, yeah I was talking about the '79. Didn't get a good photo of that one this time:
You know, they even had one of the damn test Volvos stuffed in there but no room for a Mustang! |
