FHP push button starters?

[stubes]

i was told by the seller and carfax confirms it came out of miami which i thought was troop e?

from what i can see it has one small antenna hole at each front of the rear quarter,spotlight hole and hole in middle of roof towards pass side where i assume the lightbar wiring went?

I can also see outlines on the rer package tray for where the whelens were mounted

my core support has 1-1763
FLT
4-11-91
written on it. 4-91 is around when the car went into service per the carfax.

the push button thing appears to be spliced in by the starter solnoid which i will probably remove then.

When people say Miami, it could be Troop E or Troop L which is the Florida Turnpike. Look at my antenna placement on the photobucket. Determine if you have the original trunk on you our car. It should be or have some tan/cream paint on it somewhere. Make sure there is no hole in the center, covered or welded shut.

Good luck with the resto and keep asking questions.

Marcos is right....Troop K, which is the Turnpike troop, included L and E in South Florida. That car could have been a Turnpike car in the Miami (E) area.

Have you seen the 800 MHz section on the FHP resto page? If not, here's a link that might help:

i checked out my car. original trunk lid. has peeling paint which reveals cream color. No antenna holes.

the big screwup on my part though is i misread the carfax. I strongly suspect my car was a tallahasse FHP car as thats where it was new as it is where first owner is reported.....do my quarter antennas jive with that troop and which one????

my screw up with miami is thats where the seller i got the car bought it from!

Lots of the Troop K cars got that setup...but the Turnpike only goes as far north as Wildwood.

Sometimes people travelled to buy the cars, so it could have been sold further south and first registered in Tallahassee.

That's where HQ is...they all say that, no matter where they were in service.

FHP usually wrote the vehicle number and Troop on the original title, in pencil. You may try, since it was registered in FL by the first private owner, to see if you can get a copy of the original title from DHSMV.
