The car is sharp Chris! Keep the photos coming. By the way, the steering wheel is different than I've seen in other 85-86 cars is that with cruise? Getting more familiar with these cars so I'm asking!

It seems like most '85/6 SSPs were ordered without cruise, however, if they were, that wheel is the correct wheel for '85/6. The later cars had the cruise control in vertical configuration.

Very sharp (to say the least)!

Thank you! I had to take a couple more for good measure!

Nicely done!

Jim, it is listed on my Marti Report, see here:

My other '86 DPS and '85 DPS both had cruise as well. Thank you for the compliments everyone!

Let's see the antenna on it.

None of my radioshacks had the NMO mount, but I ordered one yesterday from their website. Should have it tomorrow hopefully, and it will get mounted asap! Thank you again!

Trunk lip mounting or through the sheetmetal? I keep a few of those around as a habit since I know that I'll need them at some point and the Shack doesn't normally carry those but my local ham shop does!
