Welcome aboard, do you know what agency this was from?

Have you been to Ripon for the Emergency Vehicle Show? The next show is Saturday October 7, your car would be welcome as-is.

That is a beautiful chp polara absalutly perfect how did the car look when you found her man that is a sweet car Cool That sounds awesome I'd love to go now that I got a car I'm deff going to go I need to tag her other than that I no itl make the trip I pulled out the rubber flooring today witch is in good cond and just what I expected rust. The rust around window let water in its still reiltivly soild but to do it right il have to atlest replace rear and front drivers pan. And exust needs to be done bad. Im finding parts are more harder to find than my other cars verry limeted on re pop parts any advice on geting parts for now my plan is to fix stop the rot and a few thengs so I can Daly drive and then work on restoring I found a mint set of red line caps I just got and I'm slowly collecting nos and used parts as I find them

Here is a abbreviated journal of the restoration, may take a few hours to go through.

Depending on the extent of the rust you may need a parts car.

I'm sorry I forgot the guy told me it was a ex Marin county sherriffs car. But under grean paint it's black and it has a lot of the chp opts but prob order with chp cars a piggy back car ?

Other agencies would often tag onto the CHP contract some with minor differences. Sometimes these agencies would get car right off the CHP lot.

CHP normaly auctioned the cars at 75000 miles, sometime agencies would buy used CHP cars with less miles.

I'm assuming Marin got new cars

Would be cool to see this car done in its original colors and equipment.

Your car is verry nice and wow you put in a ton of work but ther so rare that it's werth it I don't think il have the cash to do a frame of resto like u did your car is mint I can't belive it had that much rust it gives me hope for my car I got a bit down yesterday but after seeing what u did I fill better and iv always wanted one and like car so I'm gana do it and yes I agree I may need a parts car i wish I had a parts car or atlest I could find a car to get parts from but they don't seem easy to find. I did find a civilian sadan at pick in pull and got a lot of parts also cut out some patch panels but it had a vinal top so back window was wers then mine my cars rust isint to bad werst part is atound back window and some on front drivers but not to bad I think it can be patched don't think il have to cut whole back out but haven't dug in yet also floors mostly solid but some rot threw a bit in trunk tiny bit on one Lower qwuter and of cores a bit in lower front fender but better than a lot of seen but still a lot of work to be done.
