    DK41L9D to DM27L9D in 60

    60 Hours that is, On Tuesday 11/10 at 9:30 I see the post for the convertible and make the call, literally. The car was still available and was highway worthy so I contact a friend who had a friend that was interested in buying a 69 CHP car, by 2:30 we had confirmation the car was sold. I call...

    Rollin in a CHP 1969 Polara

    I took the car out for a drive the other day, for the first 60 miles I stuck to the highway I got the typical thumbs up from many of the people on the road, nothing negative. Headed up Highway 1 and into Cambria with the idea I might stop for lunch, busy, rolled through. Headed back on...

    Picture of the Day - CHP Fleet

    This is a picture of a fleet of 1969 CHP cars taken at the CHP facility in Sacramento. The front cars are awaiting their equipment, about half way back are those that have been done.

    The other Polara

    I have had this Polara 4 years now and have done very little to it, its my daily driver. Right away I put two tires on it and was going to get the others in another two weeks, that didn’t happen. Fast forward to this month where I start by ordering a couple ball joints as the front makes all...

    No provisions for a trunk light.

    My CHP project doesn't have a place to put a trunk light. I know that even if the car doesn't have that option it still has a place for it. I have looked at at least 5 cars all 1969 CHP cars that do not have it yet every no package car I look at (about 4) have the provision yet not punched...

    1969 CHP Polara Wagon

    I wish I knew more about this car, I will probably have a chance to ask the person these pictures came from in a few weeks. What I do know is it is a standard 1969 Dodge Polara wagon with a 383-4, it does have some of the CHP specific items, like the white steering wheel. I also have a couple...

    MrMopar's 1969 California Highway Patrol restoration

    I’m going to start a build thread to catch everybody up although I have this all in great detail on my website, some might just want the cliff notes version. The idea of doing a Police car restoration probably goes back about 20 years and it was always about doing a CHP patrol car. I quickly...
