I was a always under the impression they didn't make a big block 904....still am.
The E86 is simply the code for the HP 440, could be any Chrysler product with a HP 440
Many agencies would purchase conventional sedans and use them as police cars, not sure what the "DK" package had that those didn't.

What is a bid car? Is it a bid on supplying a fleet of police cars, taxi's, or fire dept, etc. to a city, county, state, federal agency?
Most taxi cars came with 904's. You would figure with a lot of stop and go driving and creating a lot of heat that the 727 would be in those cars.
The Marin County car is a base model K code, the WSP is a Polara Custom A38 pkg.
The WSP car is coded for a power front seat but there is no evidence that the car ever had one.
thanks for this.
on the WSP car (i couldnt zoom in properly on my smartphone), looks like theres no "A38" on fender tag, but is there "A38" on the buildsheet?
I do not see a 38 in the "A" section (row 7 far right)
Thanks man. i just got to a computer.
The section on that box you point out is captioned: "Only group codes with non-coded items will be b/cast. other groups to be shown by individual item codes only."
heck's that mean? the key is, i think, what is a "non-coded" item and were any in the A38 package, or is that even a relevant question?
were things that were part of the "A38" police package, shown to exist as early as 1972 in the Hamtramck records, the same items on "K" equipped cars? looking at the cars some of us own, that answer is yes.
were they (the police content in A38 package items) "coded" on the "K" cars separately on the buildsheet? guess we need to look at the "K" sheet and a LMH sheet, from same plant, side by side?
damn curious...
