FHP813 In service
I was able to get an accident report (thanks Jarhed) from the number off a carfax that I ran when I first got the car. I called the DHSMV, and got the pics today. I knew my unit number and the troop it was from but I was curious to see the equipment it had. This was an accident that happened in 1999.
Here goes. Check out the trunk letter placement and roof numbers. The roof antenna is not one I've seen on these cars either. dashmasters look a little goofy, maybe knocked around from the crash. The R in TROOPER appears to be of the curved type. Rusty spotlight. Door seal flags are faded to white as if to say "I give up" This car was at the end of it's service life and was retired shortly after without being repaired. I was surprised to see some "atypical" decal placement, so it goes to show you that although we have an idea on the setup of these cars, there are always some troops that did things out of the norm.

Awesome stuff, Bernie. More great documentation.
Looks like we'll be updating the FHP Resto section a bit, too.

I hate all you FHP guys whose cars have been wrecked in-service.
Nice pics though. Also what are the details of the accident? |

Those are great pictures. Too bad all the pictures of the FHP cars are coming from in service accidents.
What's the story behind the accident?

Thanks for sharing...I have been meaning to make a phone call the past two days to order up the police report on my FHP and obtain pics too. This will give me to motivation to make it happen tomorrow. How long did it take to receive the pictures after you initiated your call?

Not very exciting, the Trooper was attempting to change direction by going through the median and lost control on the wet grass and hit the guard rail.
About 2 weeks after I sent them a check.
