Carefully remove those white face gauges. They are usually just laid over the original gauges. Hope, and pray that the correct cluster is under there.
Hopefully you find one of these.

I looked it up. There was a law passed in 1998.FHP sold them at auction painted in their colors. I can't imagine that to be true.

Well I'm no lawyer but if it came painted that way when you bought it, and you don't repaint it you did not 'color or cause to be colored' that motor vehicle.I looked it up. There was a law passed in 1998.
321.03 Imitations prohibited; penalty.—Unless specifically authorized by the Florida Highway Patrol, a person in the state shall not color or cause to be colored any motor vehicle or motorcycle the same or similar color as the color or colors so prescribed for the Florida Highway Patrol.
You're only a few hours north of me. If you decide to give it a try, let me know, I'll bring you a cake with a file in it.Well I'm no lawyer but if it came painted that way when you bought it, and you don't repaint it you did not 'color or cause to be colored' that motor vehicle.
Make sure you explain that to Jimmy from India when he calls you for that extended warranty.
The SSPs weren't used to pull gliders, they were used as chase vehicles for the USAF U2 Dragonlady. A pilot would follow behind and to the side of the aircraft as it attempted to land and broadcast on the radio the distance from the main landing gear to the runway/ground. For example; "ten feet, six feet, four feet, two feet, touchdown." Other vehicles have been used for example the LT1 Camaro and currently the Dodge Charger.It may not be a 'cop' car, ssp cars where used in different scenarios, they had them in the air force for pulling gliders type planes down the runway, that's what I read years ago, a 'cop' car will have several things unique like the speedometer will say calibrated on the face and a few other things I can't remember.
@FoxChasis may know more facts and if you go to foxchasis.com you can decode the buck tag or vin.
that makes more sence, couldn't figure how a glider would get up to altitude with the car pulling it, it was a long time ago I read about it and remember a u2 being mentioned.The SSPs weren't used to pull gliders, they were used as chase vehicles for the USAF U2 Dragonlady.

A law that makes sence?A 1998 law makes sense.
A law that makes sence?
Not many of those.
But then, most only apply when caught!
I was thinking the same thing on the trunk lid holes. It looks like where the latch mounts the trunk lid on the convertibles.
