It’s a Fram FA-230 PLHD can mounted inside the hull. Picture of commercial one attached and also an OEM one.
~11.5” Diam and 11-12” tall. If I can’t get the correct part, the Donaldson one mentioned earlier is the closest.
I've been on the hunt for a V-100 air cleaner housing for 2 years now, nothing has turned up, not even a commercial Fram equivalent. If you know where one is for sale, please let me know. In the meantime, it looks like Donaldson makes a disposable unit that would be a decent substitute. It's...
Well it sounds like you had a great time in Syracuse! Jim was always a great host and a wealth of information. I first rode in that GTO circa 1985, so that car has been a part of my life for most of my life! A memorable moment was a no-holds barred drag race late one night around 1990, with me...
For titling vehicles here in PA, I've been told they will not accept a vehicle for titling/registration unless it already has a title or a transferable registration. I bought a 1969 V-100 armored car in NY that had never been on the road. I had bill of sale but no NY reg. NY does not title...
I replaced the OEM extinguishers in my V-100 with new Halotron ones. I'm not betting my vehicle on a 1960's fire extinguisher, no matter what the gauge on it says.....
I laughed (in sympathy) when I read of your scars from banging into various parts f the V-100 interior. My nemesis is the rear dome light, especially it's control switch. I inadvertently lifted my head after installing the transfer case cover and crowned myself on that switch so hard I thought...
I use wheel chocks (always) in case someone does get in and releases the brake/shifts into neutral. I put a "Danger do not touch" sign by the 24V battery compartment. Put do not touch signs on all 4 sides of vehicle. The goal here is to court-proof yourself. If someone does do something...

BMGParts out of NV had some when I called there earlier in 2022. That’s .30 cal chute that they had, not 7.62 chute. Get your wallet handy, I’m guessing it’s $100 a foot
Hi all- over in the V-100 forum, we were debating the origin of some vision blocks I bought off eBay a few years back. They are definitely not V-100 blocks, but may be for an APC or some other armored vehicle. Can you armor glass experts please take a look at the thread and let me know your...
Be aware that many of these Peacekeepers are still part of the 1033 property program. Indeed, a LE agency can still request a Peacekeeper via the 1033 program to this very day.

FYI, I'm helping the estate of the late Jim Green sell off parts from his collection. I put up ads for a beautiful set of V-100 replica wheels that he fabricated from 5-ton wheels, as well as the Braden winch he used in his V-100 until this past spring, when he got a date-correct replacement...
