This is bad-***. Any guess's on final price?

 

[1978 NYB]

Yes it is. $12,000 if it's a real police interceptor. Didn't all of the Police Interceptors have SureGrip's?

Not my terminolgy...........that what he's calling it in the ad. A38 Police Package is what it should be called.

I dont see interceptor anywhere in the ad.

So the answer to your question would be NO , no police interceptors had sure-grips.

 

[1978 NYB]

I don't have a clue where I saw the interceptor term.....

SureGrips were available on A38 package Police cars.

Far be me from a factory code expert but one would think cop cars would have sure grip unit in the rear differentials for obvious reasons.

Not as standard equipment, though...

Most Police cars weren't much more than taxi cabs. City police fleets were bare bones with slant 6's or small blocks. The State Police and Highway Patrol cars were the big blocks and some had SureGrip's (at additional cost). There's no way to tell for sure who many had them. K-code police cars also had A38 stamped on the fender tag from 1965-1977.

I agree with most comments on this topic. My '70 Fury III from Washington State Patrol has Police options added to a fancier model. I suspect the "Pursuit" package was only available on a Fury I. My car does not have the sure grip. The car has a I.D. tag on the door post and I have delivery paperwork from Chrysler indicating it went to WSP. The vin is not the "K" code for Police but rather the "M" code for Medium price. It is white in color with the B5 Blue cloth/vinyl interior.

I would think most 440 highway cars would have got 2:76 gears and around town cars would get the 3:23's

Reserve not met at 8900 Dollars. Are these considered that much more desirable than some regular C-body. I like sleepers but it doesn't seem to be an excellent condition with a paint job that seems to be mediocre at best.

 

[polara71]

An original police car is more desirable than the same C body that is not. Throw in the 440 plant and there's even more interest.

I have seen 69 and 71 Polara Police cruisers go in the mid 20 K range.

That would make sense. The 2:93 gear ratio was also available. Since it was an additional cost item, I would think that they would have the option of selecting the gear ratio.

 

[polara71]

I love the 3:23's with with my 440

I love the 3:23's with with my 440

And I recall you had it up to 132mph on a weekend cruise. LOL!!!

 

[cm23uoc]

Was this certified actual speed, the old mags I saw always state "estimated top speed" in that range; seemed a bit frightened to test by themselves.
