Default Back in a SSP...FHP 1395

Well I am the new owner of FHP1395. I purchased the car this past week and have put about 60 miles on it so far. My plans are to use it as a DD until this summer or fall...with a break during the salt season. If all goes according to plan I will start a "driver" restoration at that time. I have this cars entire history since the first civilian owner purchased it from the FHP. I also have copies of the accident report and all the photos.

Here are a couple photos from the ad. With the weather and Holidays I have yet to be able to take my own...although I think most of you know this car.

This site actually has 3 of the accident photos on the agency in service picture page. What is great about them is they document a lot about this car. Like one interesting fact is this FHP SSP did not have FHP seal on the trunk like all the others I have seen. I also have some poor in service interior pics that could help if I wanted to do a 100% correct restoration. But my intentions are to keep this as a driver, trailer queens are not my cup of tea.

Matt, congrats on the new FHP! I actually thought long & hard about buying that car when it came up for sale. I thought FHP #1395 would complement CHP #8395 quite nicely.

Please post up pictures as you make progress on the car.

Will do.

I have already began collecting all the correct pieces for a marked restoration including a JSS controler, ventshades, and radio equipment. I am also picking up a set of NOS quarter windows after the first of the year. Only thing that will give me some trouble is the correct Federal deck lights. I already have some Dasmasters which would be correct for the time period...just not on this car.
