Default 1985 CHP #E408419

Well, I'm finally starting a thread on my 1985 SSP. I'd like to say thanks to Bill Jr. and others who have gotten in touch and have taken the time to answer my questions.

As soon as I got the car, I went to work on some mechanical issues and jumped through a few hoops (and spent some money) to get it registered.

Here are a couple pictures of the car in pretty much as-bought condition:



More to come soon...

VERY COOL! Man I love the '85/6 SSPs, they look so killer with the steel wheels. Congrats again on the purchase, can't wait to see her back in uniform

What are your long term goals for the car? Are you going to put the car into a In service look? Just curious..... The 85 CHP'S are cool.......BRIAN.

Am guessing by the photos with the trim removed - must be getting ready for paint. Wonder what color it will be?

I'm still seeking out / waiting on parts, and wanted to have the car more together before a reveal, but what the heck, here it is with some trim reinstalled after paint...

I decided to paint the doors black because I want to be able to drive the car without too much worry (in California, there's been heightened sensitivity recently because of the Geek Squad).

I am glad the car ended up in good hands. I called the seller on the evening after you bought the car. Nice to see it getting restored and not raced.
