Default SCHP Photos

I'm seeking any interior/equipment photos for '87 - '93 South Carolina Mustangs. I know they used a "Kustom" radar unit and I have been able to obtain one. I need to see the placement/brackets for it.

Also if anyone has verifiable info as to what radio/s were used and the associated placement/brackets, that would be most helpful.

I've got the exterior paint/markings nailed down, now I need the interior equipment details. Many thanks.

Gregg,

I'm thinking that the brackets seen in this car were just screwed down to the top of the flat part of the dash. The switchbox looks like it was also mounted to a bracket. I'll look through some more footage and see if I can get a good shot of the radio (and placement).

Thanks Mike. I have wrestled with that photo and it's like I keep wanting to turn on a light in a dimly lit room. You know what you want is there but you just can't quite see enough detail. Thanks for posting it up, I'll keep going over it.

Here's the picture with the lighting adjusted, does this help? You can see the type of radar control box, switch box and Motorola radio from the lightened photo. They may have ran the siren off the Motorola radio since these radios were capable of that.

It's a Whelen...and I think I sent him the link to one of those already.

Eric,

It looks like a Motorola Specta, I circled it in red. Yes, no, maybe?

In my department we velcro down the radar units to the dash. This one could be with velcro?

Your eyes are better than mine.

I'm not sure...but it definitely looks like something is there.
