It sure looks like Mike's 82 "Marketing Vehicle", although Montana is nowhere near Louisiana. It might be worth pulling a Marti Report on the other VIN (CF234609) in the 2-car batch with Mike's SSP to see where the ordering dealer was located. Regardless, that's a GREAT picture Jonathon!

I couldn't believe it when I saw it on Facebook this morning. I agree, it looks just like Mike's '82. If this isn't the same car and there were multiple "Marketing" cars tested by different agencies, I wonder if they were all basically identical.
I have two contacts with the Montana Highway Patrol that I spoke with 2 years ago. One spoke with a retired Colonel whose father remembered the car. He said it was not marked and only tested for a short period of time out of their Great Falls District. He expressed that it was there then just went away. The other was a dispatcher in the early '80's and remembered the car. He also said it was used out of the Great Falls District and possibly still has the names of the Trooper that potentially drove it. I forwarded the picture to both of them, in hopes they may recognize the individual in the picture or the "MHP 345" plate may help.

So who are y'all gonna vote for this year?
Just kidding - we don't need to talk politics (or religion) here. There's plenty of drama on FB as is. Personally, I find it nice to visit a site (like this one) that avoids the heated debates that gets everyone upset and fails to change the minds of anyone. So who has an update on their SSP(s) that they wanna share? I got my vanity plate in from DMV for my Pierce County car. Sorry, but no picture yet. I resurrected the same tag that I had on my 85 CHP car - NPRSUIT. I do have a plastic license plate frame printed with "NOT IN SERVICE" that I will use with it (I may have to cut it down to reveal the state ID and inspection sticker). What about the rest of you?

I've been side tracked on another project lately. LOL No real progress on my SSP's but I will be back on 0196 soon... My first car was a 67 coupe, so when I stumbled onto this 95% rust free coupe roller I had to have it. I'll not be recreating my first but more doing it the way I like now... (that was 32 years ago) ...

Very cool, Bobby! I had a '67 S-code (390cid) convertible some time ago. We lost a ton of money when we sold it (after a full restoration). Good luck with your project.

Thanks Bill,
Your question motivated me to get back on GSP 0196... After months of stall, I finally got the engine bay stripped cleaned prepped and painted today...
