yeah, for sale for four years raises an eyebrow. price too high, car not what it seems (its real police but something else is buggin' people?), who knows?. NOT saying that's whats going on with this one -- could just be bad seller luck?
BUT from what i can see just from these two threads, compared to what i have seen of THIS vintage cop car (I had to buy FOUR to make TWO good ones), ostensibly this looks to be one of the better examples of slabbie cop sleds still around.
i guess seller should try to (1) give more information if available on its history, and (2) what police-equipment (brakes, suspension, etc) is STILL on the car .. over the years that stuff tends to get replaced with civi stuff thats not Heavy duty, and (3) more detail on powertrain mechanicals today after rebuilds vs police-spec.
hope it finds a good home.
UPDATE .. guess i ought read the old threads I find
