Welcome.
Was this the unmarked car we talked about before?

Thanks! Yep, this is it. Since we've last talked I've gotten rid of all the tacky stuff, pulled the engine, yanked the interior. I'm currently assembling the engine and tranny, hopefully I'll have it driving this spring.

Sounds like you're already heading down the path to a better looking car. I like the photoshop picture. I'd say powder coat the wheels black and it will look the part.
Cool SSP. Matt

Thanks! I'll probably go with the stock black 10 holes with silver center cap. I don't think NC painted them black, but they look cool.

Great story behind the car and welcome to the sight!! I like the photo shop. To think I could have done that to my car and not have had to re-piant it. I could have save lots of $$ .

The wheels should have been the 14 inch steel ones. Did you car have them on it when you originally bought it?

Earliest documented unmarked? For NC or the entire fleet? It was built 6/30/83, Entered into service in June 83. Soon I'll have an entire page on my site deticated to it's history, gathering the pics and paperwork this week.

Here are some SSP specific interior pics. Again the factory int color was Walnut, the dash faceplate was woodgrain. I've gotten rid of the tacky yellow accents.
Here's the speedo, I've restored the intruments since this pic, thankfully the stickers came off without much fuss. The relocated trunk release button, to the right of the steering wheel. And the NC Dept. of Crime Control and Public Safety serial tag.

wow, that's a great story, and a killer find. It's a very bright car, but seems very clean despite it's hard years. I look forward to seeing your progress, and which route you do go with it.
