I just noticed there is bird poo on the ctsv^ Haha

You're about, oh, a year or so late to that party.

Car looks really nice. What kind of light is on the dash? Doesn't look like it belongs on there.

No offense or anything...But this SSP site kind of made me sour when my dad was looking for a California SSP. 5 or 6 users were giving him a hard time due to his user name. gpbarnesracing. Just because he had racing in his name some members here acted like real a-holes sending him private messages saying that they would never sell him one because he would end up turning it into a race car. He actually restores and vintage road races trans-am cars. He even stated he wanted a completely restored car. I had no interest in returning to this site until a friend sent me a link to this thread tonight. So I figured I would respond.

No offense taken.....I wasn't one of the people sending him messages, and I'm not in the business of buying and selling cars. Many people here are passionate about the cars, so I can understand where some of that comes from, though.

Neither are we. He likes collecting them and so do I. I do not know the answer to your question on that light. I am sure Stubes can answer it for you if he sees this.

That makes three of us. Check out this thread from back in 2010:

As for the light, take a look at it the next time you get a chance. You should be able to get a manufacturer from it by doing so.

Ok, when I get back home on Monday I will take a look. Yeah thats the thread. These were sent in private messages, not on the thread. But either way, I'll check Monday!

The car still looks great, glad to see it has not changed!

As far as the light goes it's the same one Joe had in his 87 TX DPS car. The manufacturer was the same but it had been updated slightly and the color of the base changed. It's also missing the cover that blocked half the lens so the driver was not blinded by it.

w/cover after I restored the car.

The period correct light with the chrome base and white cover. (I think this is actually Joe's car?)

The correct light (from the in-service pics) is a Whelen Responder. I'm not sure what kind of light is in the original picture, but it definitely isn't made by Whelen.

Is that bottom pic above an in-service pic the TX DPS office took at home or is it an enthusiast's picture of their SSP?
