Hello All

Hello All, I am new to the site-I just retired after 24 years in LE and wanted something different to take to cruise nights/car shows. I have been a Chevrolet man all my life and was looking for a restored B4C Police camaro. I looked for about 2 years and gave up.
One of my fellow officers bought a FHP SSP and one look/ride and I was hooked. I started my search and spoke to several people on the board-who were very helpful. I recently found and purchased a 1990 NHP SSP from David Philiposki.
The car is great-I have had it to a local cruise night and it was the hit of the show. It now resides in the Garage with my two Z28's.
So I just want to thank those that helped me with all my questions, and providing me with info on their cars that were for sale. Also to say thanks David for working with me on the car. Take care. Ben

Welcome to the site, Ben.

Welcome to the forum! I've only seen pictures of your Nevada car (versus in-person), but it is IMO the best looking SSP paint scheme. I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the car.

Welcome to the forum. I too haven't seen your Nevada SSP in person, but the pics look awesome. David did a real nice job on it.

That car was actually first restored by Ryan Forsloff.

Welcome Ben and congrats, yours is a very desirable SSP that always shows well. Another shot of your car in it's first iteration done by Ryan at the 2006 Ripon show with my car alongside.

Thanks all very much for the welcome, and the shots of the car. I am doing a few little things to it, but most of all I want to enjoy it at shows and cruise nights.

I have 2 Camaro Z28's that are both very low mile cars, a 1970 RSZ28 with 9,900 orig miles and a 1980 Z28 with 12,800 orig miles-most of the time they are in a trailer going to shows-this car I want to drive and have fun!!! Thanks again. Ben

Ben, welcome to the site and congrats on retiring (6 more years for me !)

Ryan did a great job on that car and he hated to see it go. It is great that you ended up with it and will give it a good home. (giving credit where credit is due I hope it's ok to refer to it as "Ryans old car" when I see it )

What are your plans for it and what color interior does it have ? I may have some NOS seat material for you if you need it.

I had a 70 1/2 LT1 Z-28 myself in 1986. It was silver with black stripes and bright blue interior. I reaaaalllllyyyyy wish I had kept that car. It was bone stock with 50k miles when I bought it for 3k. lol

those days are over huh?
