1992 FHP SSP Coupe
 
Got a new project car....well sort of. I purchased an FHP SSP off ebay last week. Unit # 1537 from Troop L.

Owner had copies of wreck reports that it was in while in service. The Trooper backed into a sign in a parking lot on one. And then he was parked at a gas station and while he was inside, someone hit the passenger fender and left the scene.

My plan is to drive it as-is for a few years. I'll be gathering up all the equipment I need so when I retire, I can do a full resto on it.

The guy was using it to promote his security business and had it covered in decals. I wanted to wait until I could get the decals removed and have it buffed before I posted pics. And yes, I'm working on getting new "stock" headlights for it. Here's some before and after shots....

Thanks guys!! I appreciate it!!

Been dying to get back into a coupe since I sold the 87. I've always really liked the SSP's so I figured this would be the best of both worlds. :D

Nice car Brad. Love those things looking undercover like that. Wouldn't change a thing (except for the headlights like you said).

That's a sweet looking coupe, Brad. It only makes sense for you to get an SSP version. :bluelight

Congratulations on the new project. :nice:

NightHawk756 05-16-2013 06:46 AM

Thanks guys! :chug:

It'll be a fun project I think. I just made contact with the Trooper that drove it. He has pics of it he's gonna send me from when it was in service. :nice:

Well, just getting it back to fully marked status will be a project. But as with any old fox body, there's plenty to do besides that to get it right. :D

Got in touch with the Trooper that drove my car. Trooper Neil Moore. He was very forthcoming with info on the car and sent me some in service pics. We're still talking back and forth and I'm still getting more info from him. Here's some pics....
