1985 ssp car what to look for to authenticate?
I am going to look at a 1985 ssp car tomorrow other than having a certified calibration speedo what other mods can i look at to find out if it is in fact a true cop car?
Any areas of concern i should look for in the older cars? Also how rare are the 1985 ssp cars also are they carb or efi? I have a 1991 ssp and a 1988 this is my first time getting a little bit older one. Thanks Matt |

Check for the 6 digit DSO on the door and buck tags. The tech section here on the website has more information and other good stuff to look for:

What agency is it? The two buck tags should be mounted on the radiator support. Here's is a photo of the type of buck tag my car would have come with (not mine, but taken from another 85 CHP). Note the 6-digit DSO is listed on the 2nd buck tag, as well as some of the specific SSP options -
Depending on the agency, look for a hole in the a-pillar(s) for where the spotlight(s) was mounted.

Looks like it has the right wheels on it. What agency was it supposed to have been from?

That depends on many factors. How much is the asking price?

Depends on the transmission ordered.
manual (T-5) = carb automatic (AOD) = EFI This was true in '84 and '85. |

Check out the shock towers and firewall to see what color they are. It could be that the car was repainted blue at some point.
