I'll start with I found this in the trunk of my dads 72 CHP Polara underneath rat poop, paper shreds, a partition, gas tank, and a garbage bag. From what he remembers, he bought it at a local auction with a bunch of other police equipment and stuff back in the late 90's. He believes it came off of a firetruck that the local city FD bought from NYC about 15 years ago, or it was included with the truck or something. I'll never know.
It has the same model # as other NYPD bars talked about on this site.
Passenger side red lenses are broken, I'll replace the full segment with one from my other broken aerodynic lens, half segment I'll have to find elsewhere, along with the speaker grille(one pictured is from my other bar).
After I got it out of the trunk and brought up to the garage, testing the bar revealed that the flashers didn't work, rotators wouldn't rotate, and only two of the rotator bulbs turned on. I finally realized today that the motor was missing:duh:
I blew all the crap out of the crevices and begun to disassemble the whole thing for refurbishing. Other than the first pictures with the lenses on, I did everything this afternoon I think the results are pretty good for a 17 year old kids first real refurbishing
Warning, lots of pictures:crazy:
Start-
Broken lenses
Gutter clamps and really long bolts(fire truck?)
