Interesting video! I'm not that much into fender tags, but I did find it intriguing that the VIN on this car starts with "PE" rather than "PK".

Smaller agencies often purchased regular cars from the local dealer. Package cars cost more.

This car in the video is the one from a auction that we have already gone over that had quite a collection of 1968 Fury's.
I see no evidence (yet) that this is a police car, now the 4dr next to this one on the auction lot is a better candidate to be PD.
Just yesterday I saw a 1973 Plymouth Fury I PL car being parted and with a Army Corp of Engineers sticker on both bumpers it would lead me to believe that it was a Government Fleet vehicle.
This guys video while he has a pretty good channel nic, but oh boy is he tedious to listen too. Him going on about the wheels & hubcaps, what a bizarre vocabulary "A vestigial tail"? WTF I had to googly googly that one... "Some people also have a vestigial tail. Although a rare entity, humans with apparent tails have been noted in literature throughout history."
Truly bizarre... Heck going on about correct date coded starters & alternators... hey he should take that stuff and sell it for big dollars to Mr. Wormhead, may help to pay for the build out of this one. he he Nobody's going to care about date codes for this one if it ever goes across the auction block.
About rare production numbers... 1968 PE cars are low but I take it that the numbers I have found are just for retail sales and I really doubt that the fleet numbers are included in it. While fleet 2dr sedans are less than the plentiful 4drs I had no problem finding my 2nd 1968 PK21 in 1971 and it was more original and un-bashed up than my 1st 1968 PK21.
I have yet to see many 1968 (or 1967) PK21's 440 code Fury's around that have survived, many recreated 2dr PE's but not many VIN'd & FT PK21's that I have found. Here's a couple in my collection I have found from well over a decade of searching:
