FHP Challenger

[vortecd]

So I used to own an '87 Mustang. To go further, it was an ex-FHP car. In the story my car looked like the first one in the pictures at one point. When I bought it, it had been painted solid black. The car fax on it was interesting and one thing it said "hit a bridge"

The Calif. Highway Patrol has several car lots where they sell the ex-CHP cars, bikes, etc. Not sure how it works now but it used to be a daily closed bid process. You had to submit your bid, in person, by a certain time of the day. At the end of the day they would go through the bids and highest bidder on each vehicle won.

All of the black and whites were repainted one solid color, usually black so that you couldn't drive around in CHP colors. I went to their lot in Torrance several times looking for a Mustang when they had them.

if the FHP was going to buy a Challenger to chase down speeders, I wonder why they didn't spend a few more dollars and get a Scat Pack. That extra 100 hp comes in handy....sometimes....

Little known fact : ALL current CHP Chargers are V-6.

I can state that all ( Jackson Cty) MS Sheriff's and Moss Point Chargers are 5.7 L Hemis.

One of the FHP Challengers is in the Jacksonville area. The photo op here is the Fort at St Augustine.
And apparently, Texas has them too. 😂

So a V6 TAXI is all they need to catch speeders
