Hector, don't give up your search in finding out about your car...this is half the fun. Welcome to the site, John

Kind of like when I talked to CHP Motorpool about my '93 SSP. It was before they kept records on computer and all the paper records had been thrown out. So sad. :-(

Hector...you're killing me with the weather. I wish we could enjoy our cars more...nice thing about the SSP's is that they are rolling pieces of history. Best of luck with the search.

No, I have not found out any info on my car. From what I can tell, it did not serve with the CHP as a patrol car as it does not have any mounting holes for anything; radio, antennas, lights, ect. It was painted gray over the B&W. And is now the Reef Blue you see in my pic. The guy I bought it from said that the guy he bought it from was working for the government. My best guess is that CHP decided they didn't need it and shipped it off to some govenment agency like maybe the FBI or DEA where it was painted government gray.

Toshi,

I remember discussing your car.....there are many possibilities out there. I highly doubt, however, that it was painted grey and used by a federal agency. Those agencies, just like the state and local ones, have pretty detailed procedures that they have to follow to sell surplus vehicles (and it would not involve any individual selling it to someone else).

What did you find that made you think your car was still in-service in 2002?
