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.

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