1985 Utah Highway Patrol SSP Coupe
Going to have it shipped down here. Got it for what I consider a killer deal. It has a little rust on the door bottoms and needs a dash pad but otherwise it is in really good shape for the year.

Just hope the seller doesn't back out..

looks good, my advise would be if its a former trooper car and you have most of the documentation I would leave it stock. I know it might be hard and the mod bug comes on strong but there are not to many of these cars left and the demand for the old trooper cars is only increasing with time.

Not many actually.
Oil Cooler, Heavy duty cooling, 90amp Alt, 140mph calibrated speedo, Relocated trunk release switch.

I am pretty sure this car has no power options.. I need to decide weather to make it a straight line sleeper or something that will handle ??
Either way it will be fun..

If she's an auto = straight line
5 Speed = handle

Here is a picture of a full marked 86. BTW 2006wrxtr, you need to paint the trim behind the 1/4 windows trim black.
