Meet Ruby

[ford-dealer]

Meet Ruby! Newest addition to "The Lab"! A genuine 1986 CHP Mustang! Her name was given due to her Steady Red Spotlight!

 

[dmathieu]

COOL!!

 

[ford-dealer]

Dan, Well... I MUST admit that it is KILLING me! I want to add some vintage Whelen product!

 

[dmathieu]

What are you looking for?

 

[ford-dealer]

Ha! I am conflicted! CHP didn't use any Whelen products back then! This car even has the original keys, key tag showing the unit # and all of the paperwork showing its assignments from day one to the day it was auctioned off!

 

[MEVS06]

Wow you got her in the garage, nice.

 

[fedsig7]

Very nice. Not sure if the PA1000-8Z's were used in these cars, but if so, I have one (Incase you are looking for one).

 

[ford-dealer]

Note the CVPI next toit! LOL! 2 of 3 for one day is an accomplishment!

WATCH IT MISTER! :hissyfit: hehehehehe


I found her in Austin TX. She was in the hands of a Mustang collector who was trying to find a great 1986 make a TX DPS car. He bought this one and it was sooo nice and unmolested and so well documented, that he couldn't bring himself to defile its history by converting it to a TX car. He finally found a real TX DPS car so.... this one became available. :yes:


I love the 1986 year because: 1st year of Port Fuel Injection and Last year of the Glass Headlights! Best of both worlds IMHO!


More pics to follow soon! :thumbsup:

So........


Are you going to defile it's history?


You really want Whelen.


Didn't whelen make a Par 46? If you used those in the rear instead of the Dietz (as a CHP test vehicle...) you'd only piss off some of the collectors. LOL.

 

[kitn1mcc]

it would be cool to do a demo-whelen car

 

[JohnMarcson]

Wow! What a great LED spot light!! I love that mirrorbeam! But which one is named Ruby?


*trollface*

 

[Wheels]

What a great looking car and I love this style of mustang with the sealed beam headlamps. Ooo, I see some beautiful lights in the background too!
