1968 Fury I police car. "K"-code in the VIN. 318 auto, probably a patrol package car, rather than the pursuit package. I like this one! No reserve, too! Could be fun, going to shows with this and the '76 Plymouth from earlier in the week...

318 automatic 4 door sedan. That's about it.

So are the vast majority of Mopar cop cars of the era, so? Plus, it has a "K"-coded VIN, so that makes it a real cop car and not a fake.

Sometimes that all one needs.

...and a light bar.

And a very unexciting one at that.
Good choice for someone looking to duplicate a specific cruiser with those specs.

I like their transmissions. I couldn't find one for my 68' 340, and the book said the Police/Taxi 727 for the 318 is a very close version of the 340. I found one recently, and they are almost Identical, Although the part number is different.

Remember not all Police cars have the "K" code. Some like mine were ordered as a higher price class (Fury III) and had the individaul Police options added on.

I had a SB Dart that my tranny regularly took trips south. $$$ repeatedly fixing that thing.
I tripped across a taxi tranny with a bazillion miles on it, bought it for chump change, and never had a problem again.
