$800 gets you a complete Police Package car. Seems alright to me.

Thought this sold on ebay last year and was saved...? Am disappointed have to say. Can't understand why these cars are not appreciated more, must be because they dont have their own aftermarket parts catalogue. Ahem...

The more I look at this the less I see that it is a FHP car, too much green (firewall) and no evidence of black or tan, I suspect another state or a county sheriff car.

Hopefully people will buy some of these dusters for the glass,and bumpers at least.NOS bumpers are nowhere to be found i believe.B.B

Anybody have any ideas on origin?

 

[68PK21 440.6bbl]

I searched around google for some South Carolina cars and couldn't find anything in green for state patrol colors or for that matter many police cars of the 1970/71 years.

FHP had the black & tan color combo well back into the 1930's, North Carolina had black lower with a silver top (very nice). I'm kind of leaning toward Game Warden or Florida County Sheriff color combo.

 

[Aidan1976]

Some green/white ones...

I wouldn't want to part that car out for the pieces he's wanting to sell and the prices he's asking. BTDT, sitting on parts and trying to find buyers is a PITA. I would think that $3-3500 might've netted a buyer if the engine was included.

I am sure there are thousands upon thousands of cars like this sitting while waiting for buyers and they will forever sit. Could be no interest in model, no interest in a project, could very well be too old to take up a project, could be no buyers anywhere in the surrounding area, and could be many times no place to store the car since most don't have barns, super large garages or acres of land to hide it. Actually that describes much of California where I see tons of cars along 99, North of Sacramento, sitting lined up in large dirt fenced yards. No buyers out there and no buyers in the greater Bay Area now due to wrong demographics and lack of storage space. Just try to sell a mid 50's anything, except a tri-five Chevy, around here. Impossible.

If you can get them to Indianapolis on a hotshot trailer, I'd love to find people to buy them!

I still maintain there are only so many finite buyers out there with the number declining bit by it every year. The Golden Goose just doesn't keep on giving. Last night I read the commentary in the last Mustang Monthly I will ever get before I threw the crap away. Opinion writer is making the case that the $2000 67 GTA he sold 17 years ago is now worth $35,000 and is better than a typical retirement account. Being as how he is in his mid-50's I don't think he will see the day the car hits $70,000 if ever. I also don't think $70,000 will get you far in 2035. If he wants a secure return then buy real estate which is forever. Cars are a passing fad in the bigger scheme of things.

I read an article recently about some folks in teh south who cast aside a 401k/stock-market retirement to invest *everything* in land and plant pine trees to sell for lumber. Due to market factors and geographical location that has caused prices to plummet, they've basically lost their nest eggs in teh 20-30 years they've waited for the trees to grow. Investing in a classic car as an investment IMO is the same type of mistake. Trees ain't liquid, cars have preservation/storage cost. While the stock market has no guarantees, it typically performs, you can monitor it occasionally, and you can get out almost immediately whenever you feel scared.

I have checked the car and it shows that the two front doors were originally painted white with the rest green and white roof. So that might help what department it served in?
